I wonder if someone would be so kind as to PM me the name of the company that does the supermarket deliveries. Many Thanks.

Me too please.

I'm doing a shopping channel competitors shop on GFK today. I have to order something from the "Beauty" department between £25 and £30, wait for it to be delivered, and return it 2 days later. But in the briefing notes it says not to order personal grooming products or cosmetics as they are non-returnable.

So what can I order? I'm thinking of a make-up bag type of thing (some of the Cath Kidston ones are quite pricey) - do you think this will be OK? I tried ringing GFK to ask, but just get a recorded message which is sooooo quiet I can't hear a word of what is being said.

Does the beauty section have cosmetic brushes or even hair brushes? Although I think if you went for a bag you'd be fine to send it back.

Can you order a mirror from the beauty department. or a fragrance ., as they are returnable if they are sealed.

I've ordered a very expensive make up bag!! Hubby will have a fit if he sees it and how much it is - he'll be so relieved when I return it, LOL!! Especially since I ordered a piece of jewellery from the shopping channel earlier in the week as well!!!!

What about something that's leaking when you received it as the lid wasn't on properly.

Also, I got a telling off for ringing GfK the other day as it appears the helpline should only be used for emergencys (apparently) :whistle:.

I got a telling off several months ago for not calling the helpline... Consistency anyone? :rotfl:

Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Iceland... They're all supermarkets, and do deliveries...

I wouldn't be surprised if there were others too...

You forgot Asda and Ocado.

Just picked up some more chicken jobs for the rest of the month, and walked past the shop mirror going to make a brew - realised that my skin is a mess at the moment and it's entirely likely its down to eating junk food in the guise of 'work' since when I had a couple of weeks without doing any I didn't have any spots, random red patches or as many blackheads as I do at the moment. :eek:

On the plus side I now have a 'day out' booked at a shopping centre I wouldnt usually visit....early chicken, a pizza competitor, then evening chicken. Just need to resist the urge to spend lots of money while I'm there as it looks like I might be moving in the next 4 weeks. :cool:
