...............................................................................................................

We ordered the new kitchen last week and yesterday got a letter of confirmation, in the letter was a bright orange balloon, strange I thought I didnt bother to read the rest of the letter just left it for Itsmytelly....he asked whats the balloon for.....he then said we have blow up the balloon and leave it out side the night before the kitchen is due to come.

That's a good idea actually. I dealt with many people who SAID everything was clearly marked etc, but they knew where to look, our drivers didn't, and often missed it. Sometimes a house number is only clear, if you stand in a certain place and so on. Not saying yours isn't but the delivery driver doesn't know that. A lot of time is wasted looking for places and this will cut it enormously. So yes a balloon is a good idea.

It is a good idea TW......after all if it is a kitchen it must be a big lorry and they will be able to see straight away where is the best place to park to unload.....

OUrs is clearly marked, there are no fences or hedges blocking the view, there is a big brass number on the door, the wheelie bins have the address painted on them.

Does the postman deliver the right mail to the right door? Can Asda find us even though there are clear instructions on the delivery note? NOPE!

i might use the balloon idea and get them to follow that LOL
