    Just a quick warning. I did this last year, and a few days later there was a knock at the door, and when I opened it there was an elephant with it's suitcase.....it don't half eat a lot.
    You were lucky mine arrived with a massive trunk.
  • mine arrived this morning via TNT. One for my sis for her birthday and one as a pressie to my boyfriend from my children. I'm very happy - thanks OP

    My 2 arrived today - both boxes are battered and torn, were these described as seconds or something?

    I think Snugsters comment was a joke, in reply to previous post!:rotfl:

    No they were not listed as seconds? But listed as deal of the day, I assume you saw the listing when you went on to buy them? Its not acceptable to recieve two battered and torn boxes so I suggest giving them an email or call and telling them what state they arrived in!!
    It could be a courier fault but I have recieved many parcels through WHSMITHS and they have been well packed in trong boxes with lots of filling so as not to get crushed. It could also be that the packers were at fault?!?! Either way, call them and ask for a refund!!
