    Can any elite please help me navigate the mighty deals website. I wish I hadn't ordered! Redeemed my voucher on saturday and still not had my email. Same with oh but he has had email this morning saying it is on it way. I am trying to raise a ticket for my complaint but can find how to do this. I am sure one of you will have had problems as well with this awful company. I should have learned my lesson after the shell deal but cannot resist a bargain. Thank you.

    You need to print it;) I've just done it and it's a bit of a pain but even I got the voucher in the end ;) I redeemed it and got email straight away so if I was you I would try again

    Was just topping up my lawn mower with petrol on the drive, when a white van pulled up. The van was marked "Furniture Direct" and a man got out wearing a Hi-Viz vest marked "Furniture Direct" and Aviator sunglasses.
    He said they were furnishing a big house as a Show Home on a Redrow Estate nearby, but it had been sold and Redrow didn't want to kit it out anymore.
    So he had 4 beds that had been paid for and were not needed, and he didn't want to drive them all the way back to the Depot.
    He said the Site Foreman had taken a Double for himself, and said anyone local who had a genuine need could have one.
    He slid open his van and showed me a mattress. It was poly wrapped and said "Memory Foam".
    He said I could have the King Size with Base which retails at £1,999
    Although he was giving the impression it was my lucky day, and it was free, I asked how much would it cost then.
    He said "Just a drink for the boys" for setting it up.
    He showed me the base and gave it all the blah blah sales pitch.
    I asked again then how much it would be.
    He again said "Just a drink for the boys"
    He then said "there are 6 of us" :rotfl:

    And "£50 each should cover the drinks for a game on the telly" :rotfl:

    I told him I wasn't interested at £300
    He then got very pushy. "Where else are you going to get a memory foam King size for £300"

    Then he got aggressive, asking me what the problem was.
    It made me feel really uncomfortable, but he went away in the end calling me a "time-waster"!
