    This is one of many ways that companies use to gather information to try to improve customer service - figure out what works and what doesn't work.  Insights do not happen by magic.

    You paid £5 delivery when they do it free? Or did you want it on a specific day?

    If I can ask. What was the price of fridge freezer?

    my freezer went bang on thus night , I needed new one asap , AO had no fridge /freezers in my price range or (small size ) and white 
    currys offer delivery , but different days different money 

    i have just been online and done test buy , you can see delivery costs and at top the freezer and price 

    and NO you cannot do click and collect 

    "You paid £5 delivery when they do it free? Or did you want it on a specific day?

    today is monday , a fridge freezer is not a on a whim buy , its a thing you need quickly , you can have a free delivery NEXT SATURDAY or one in 48 hrs for £45

    I would say "at any time", but if we want things to improve we do have to tell them what is good and what is bad. :)

    I assume you got one text at 8.15am, then you replied to it and got the next question at 8.20am and replied to it, next question 8.23am etc

    Or did you get multiple messages with all the questions at once?

    If your phone was on silent and you ignored that first message, then replied at 1pm, you would have got the second questionat 1.05pm etc.

    Replying was optional and the time you decided to reply is up to you.

    If you don't want to be disturned at 8.15am then turn phone to silent or use its do not disturb function.

    Its like if the doorbell is rung, you can choose whether to answer or not and you will only talk to the person if you answer and respond.
