We are about to get a Decathalon in Southampton =D> No more asking for a relay to get a quecha and they might even deliver.

Never understood their previous policy. I had to buy a base tent from Merryhill nr Wolverhampton as they would not deliver nationally and I have a friend who lives near there. Given their policy of only delivering short distances I expected their own van to turn up. But no it was Parcelforce who deliver nationally. #-o #-o

It opened on Friday, but the annoying thing is that the Base Seconds tent is £150 these days rather than the £40 or so it used to be a few years back.

Hi
Nothing wrong with Couriers, or Royal Mail...I use them a lot for getting imports over here (most goods here are fake...soon to be coming to the UK :evil: )...it's just Parcel-Farce...trust me, I know from the horse's mouth -ex-employees!
Cheers
