"Your call is important to us"
Hell is it. If it was, you'd have people answering the phone.
XPO Logistics - I want confirmation of a delivery date for a large product.

Gave up after three and a half hours.
Charlatans!

Blimey, Universal Credit usually answer in a couple of minutes once you've done the button pressing bit.

Well - it took some time, but after promising delivery in November - the toolchest that I ordered has finally been delivered.
I wanted it because I need to tidy up the accumulation of tools in the garage and it was a bit of a bargain - I have wanted one for some time and have been monitoring the prices. It was £500 off the non-sale price and £200 off the normal sale price (been looking at it for 2 or 3 years) so I jumped at the chance.
It's reasonable quality but not to Snap On Tools standards, but then it was a third of the price and I am not a professional - so don't need that quality. It will certainly help tidy up the garage.
The logistics company subcontracted the delivery to an independent man with a van. He came with a mate and told me it took 9 of them at the depot to load it on to the van. It's on a pallet so why didn't they use a forklift!?
It came in two boxes and weighs 406lbs - according to the outside of the box - I'm hoping that's an exaggeration when I come to put the two halves together!
It's one of these: www.sgs-engineering.com/stc7200tb-work-bench-upper-cabinet but not from this company (made in China to retailers colour choices). Apparently the lock mechanism rattles but there is a solution on YouTube.
When the lad next comes home, I'll get him and a couple of my mates to help me lift the top half whilst on of them bolts the top units in place.

It easily looks 406lbs.........

2 hours 28 minutes and still holding that would be quite a feat.
Maybe you could ask your friendly neighbourhood bobby to help lift the top into place. ;-)

I have a post to make about that - though it's a happy ending!

That's some serious stuff! I have to make do with old kitchen cupboards screwed to the wall and an old desk top in the workshop.

2 hours 28 minutes and still holding - zippy
