Thanks eberyone for the warm welcome!

I had a slight problem with W H Smiths.

As my wife and I both work, I wanted the book reader delivered to my work address, which has someone there all day during office hours.

A lot of mail order companies offer a separate delivery address, but Smiths did not. after realising this during filling in of the order form, I changed my home address to that of my office.

They would not supply, because my credit card did not match my work address!! So they wanted me to fax a recent bank statement, which I declined to do, for obviuos reasons.

I had a heated chat over the phone with them, explained the situation, but they would not change.

So I cancelled the order, and in haste I ordered a Bebook from Amazon on Monday afternoon, this was delivered Tuesday morning at 9:15!

The irony of it all was there was no one in the office! The postman took the parcel back to the sorting office, which closed at 14:00, which was after I arrived, having been delayed on site work in Ellesmere Port.

Ah well I get my new toy tomorrow.

Have I made a mistake getting the Bebook?

Best regards
