I'm wondering if the courier company is DPD? They give a one hour delivery window and an online tracking facility that lets you track progress of the delivery van. I've had deliveries from them when at about 9.30 I've been about the 50th drop but still they've made the delivery window of say between 11.30 and 12.30. Allowing 10 minutes per delivery is over generous as in fact the delivery addresses are close together and often there's more than one parcel delivered to the same address. I'm a big fan of DPD, even paying slightly more if there's the option that they deliver rather than a free delivery with another courier.

It's UKMail part of DHL Currently delivering Stop 58..


That's about 4 mins. per Stop. No time window given. I'm expectiong my delivery around 17.00.


They count in STOPS as opposed to DROPS..


I'm not going anywhere until this evening then I'm off to The The Den to see Millwall take on Port Vale.


Foxy.

My order arrived. But driver went into one when I said let me just check it's all there.


7 items ordered. Got 3 items I could see ok and a small box that looked too small.

It was all there but the PVA bottles were smaller than I had expected...


Just got a lot of verbal. "Trust me man.Right. Trust me. Anything missing get back to them.. Don't tell me man.

Anything missing will come tomorrow. Right"


Well I was drop 97. Maybe he had a bad Day.

Same here.


It's really good having such a small delivery slot.

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
