Tony and I are extending the patio so yesterday we popped into Wickes to buy paving slabs and sand. The weight exceed 350kgs so delivery would be £35 which to be honest I'd expected to pay anyway. While Tony was out last night I did a quick measure and realised that if we use some of our existing half slabs we'd only need to buy 16 instead of 20. Himself had insisted we'd need 24 but much to his annoyance I put my foot down and said we couldn't possibly need 24. I suggested that if we actually brought the bags of sand home with us then we'd only have to pay £4 delivery instead of £35. Back to Wickes we went this morning to change the order. The staff were absolutely brilliant and couldn't have been more helpful. One lady even said that she would have suggested placing the order in two parts for two separate deliveries and only paying £4 for each delivery. As it happens the total delivery cost was only £4. I've saved more than £50 on the order so I'm a very happy bunny. The order is due to be delivered on Tuesday so guess what we'll be doing next week.
Good luck with the patio project next week. 😊
