    I argee but we live in the real world. I doubt Argos delivery drivers give a S*** about keeping their hands clean. Delivering maybe 20-30 drops on a run, by the end of the day I imagine that they just want the job finished.

    Well maybe Argos should take a close look at their procedures if they can't look after their customers who have spent money with them.

    Mattress bags only get dirty if the mattresses are stored and transported in dirty warehouses and vehicles. The easy answer is keep them clean, it's not difficult. And the drivers could do as mine do, and carry wipes in the van to clean their hands on. If companies deliver to peoples homes, then they should keep the goods and themselves clean.

    Come on Tim, less of the advertising.

    And you can't just leave something can you, you have to have the final say.

    Who's advertising? It's what I would expect from any company delivering anything to my home. If a retailer provides a delivery service to your home, then you have the right to expect them to take care not to leave dirty hand prints on the wall. There is no excuse. I'm sure you would expect the same with deliveries to your house.

    This is my personal view, and nothing to do with anything else.

    the company that delivered my fridge/freezer photographed it in situ once they had removed the packaging to prove it had been delivered to the kitchen as agreed.
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)

    That's fair enough if they explained what they were doing, and asked your permission to take the photo.
