    Most likely the Trafford Center, thats the nearest that comes up on a postal code search when using a lancaster postal code.

    The Trafford Centre is over 60 miles away from Lancaster!

    I'd think someone living in Lancaster wouldn't confuse the Trafford Centre, Manchester with a John Lewis supposedly in their own town.

    Oh im well aware - but my comment was based on putting a central lancaster postal code on johnlewis.com, it came up with the trafford center.

    I'm only telling you what they're telling me :)

    I suppose we'll just wait to see if the OP comes back again.

    Never had a driver hand you the sheet/device thingy on the doorstep and say "sign here whilst I go and fetch it from the van"?

    Because I have, many times.

    No, never and I've never signed for anything unseen...why would I? If it does happen in the future I will not sign until I am sure it's for me/expected. A TV box really can't be mistaken for much else. Simple really.

    My house is 3 storey so delivery drivers will often come to the first floor front door to check I'm in before dragging a delivery up the steps, they always hand over the paper work to sign while they fetch the item from the van.
    I don't sign anything myself until I've inspected it but I can see how this can easily happen

    ...would you sign for a big TV box and accept it when you were not expecting it?
    Why would anyone....unless?

    I've been asked to sign for a delivery that's not for me, it's not that difficult to refuse to do so really.
