I've just placed an order with Argos.

Their delivery time states ... 7.00am to 7.00pm.

As do all the firms I have dealt with.

And, ... I order many items for home delivery.

Looking back, none have started (none of mine anyway) at 9.00am. and some have stated a possible 6.30 am delivery.

Personally, if I am expecting a delivery, then if doorbell rings early, I would be very grateful, it frees up the rest of the day, and surely getting out of bed, and donning on a dressing gown, when you know they are coming anyway is not that much of a hassle.

Where's the "British Bulldog " spirit, or are we really a nation of pampered wimps.

Grit your teeth, and try to get out of your bed, just go that one step further without moaning, and with complete resolve.

You can do it.. You know you can..... 😄
