big van + big box: for 15 bulbs

[Two_Sheds]

I can't believe it.
A big white van just pulled up, and I was delivered a big box (18" inches wide and tall).

I pulled out a wodge of catalogues for charity Xmas cards, fluffy dressing gowns, corduroy trousers etc.

Then a wodge of scrunched up paper filling.

Then a "free" drill set that I didn't ask for (that'll be five drill sets in the shed now).

Then at the bottom, 15 little tulip bulbs (weighed - I had to check - 2 ounces)

I paid £4.95 "contribution to P&P" for that lot

You should phone them up and complain...what a waste of resources

Were they really spesh bulbs or something???

I just fired off an email to them. If they sent them in a jiffy bag via the postman, the stamp would've been 80-odd pence.

I'm most offended that they sent me a load of junk mail and made me pay for it

Yup- so would I !
I wonder if the junk stuff is a condition of sponsorship as you said the £5 is a contribution towards postage.
You'd have thought there'd be a bit of discretion though
