Well this company certainly don't believe in keeping their promises to phone you back or send an email.  However, I have been assured that my replacement is now with Nightfreight's overnight service and will be here tomorrow.  I won't hold my breath.  If it's not here by 6pm I will name and shame. ;)

No tracking details.  If its not here by tomorrow evening I will cancel.  Uner the distance selling rules I have seven days to "cool off" and get my money back. ::)

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed!

When I ordered mine I got an email with details for the greenhouse tracking and one for the potting bench I ordered as well which updated every hour so I could track it across the country ... the morning it was delivered I got an email to tell me it would be delivered by Rob between 12:18 and 13:18.  I wish every company did it that way  :(

IT'S HERE

It's bigger than my spare bedroom.
It's in a thousand pieces, but it's mine, all mine. :D

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" (except when it comes to late delivery of greenhouses!)
Yes, lots of bits, but great fun as it starts to take shape.   :unsure:

Just one tip - if yours has only one opening light and you want it situated on a particular side of the greenhouse, if the design is anything like mine make sure you get the roof apex section the right way round to allow fitting it on that side (it never crossed my mind, and the instructions didn't mention it, so I had a 50/50 chance of being lucky, but..............)  :nowink:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

.... and make sure you have a suitable beverage for your 'topping off' ceremony  :tongue2:

I had to have a sit down on the garage doorstep and a cup of coffee because the day we built it was sooo cold my hands went numb  ::)

the worst part was praying for the wind to drop whilst I was glazing mine  :ohmy:
and as for trying to fit the auto opener when every now and again the sun came out  :nowink:

Have fun  :)
