    my scissors have been dispatched but thats it so far :( what happens if i can't get to the store to collect on the day, how long do they hold them for?, i'm suppose to collect tomorrow but i forgot it's my kids sports day so might not make it

    They keep it for a very long time in my local store. I still have one order placed a month ago and not yet collect, yet they still send me reminder to collect every few days.

    I went in to collect a trunki a few weeks ago, on the day it was supposedly arriving in store. When I got there (at about 5pm) they said it wasnt in, but as the store only shut at 8pm they were within their time. idiots. anyway, i said "if i dont come back for it, as i live 30 miles away, how long before you send it back and refund me?" i asked this as i know some places only hold the item for 7 days, the sales assistant replied with "about 6 weeks, then we will refund you". i dont know how true this is (she might have just been being a pain in the bum) but thats what she said. as it stood i managed to get my sister to nip back 4 days later as she was passing.

    I collected 2 orders today.

    One order had one bottle of paint missing, but the note said it should be with me in 1-4 weeks.

    The 3rd order I'd placed which was just paint (6 bottles) hasn't been dispatched yet.

    Looks like all the paint orders are on hold for now!

    i had a dispatch email, if i log onto my account it says

    Your order would be delivered on June 16, 2011

    under each item, i phoned the mothercare store it was being delivered to at lunch time and i was told they don't get their deliveries until 6pm.
    i'll go down tomorrow afternoon and see what they say. my mothercare is about 1/4 elc so fingers crossed, if my delivery isn't there i'll push for them to make it up from the store?;)
