A rather LARGE mistake.

Give it to your GD for her birthday?

The only outsize things I've had problems with are Tesco deliveries. Boxes of detergent too large to fit in any cupboard, etc. My problem is that I've never got the hang of metric measurements.

Just been on holiday to Studley castle. They had a clock on the ceiling! If I’d seen this thread I would have taken a photo. It looked like the face of Big Ben and they had embellished it with wooden mice.
?
Have you got a spare ceiling Anne?

Thanks for the advice on returning stuff via a courier. Good luck with the clock. My recent stupid purchase was trousers for me. For some unknown reason I ordered the longest leg length. DH made ‘losing it’ hints. But then took the returned package to a Hermes drop off whilst I was at work.

If you really don't like it and can't return it, ask your GD to put it up for sale on FB market place for say £50.00 I am sure someone will make you and offer on it ( they usually ask if that's your best price so prepared to take a few quid off). But at least you will get some cash back.

Have got into a muddle today. Have family coming over the weekend so amended the basic weekly shop. However I didn't save the amendments ?. I did another last minute order today, delivery tonight, and popped several desserts into the trolley intending to keep one. I then noticed a countdown clock, I had 2 minutes to checkout. In a panic I just went for it! Awaiting delivery with 4 desserts plus who knows what else......

Yes your GD should be able to sell it on eBay or Facebook if you can't send it back.

When our ward needed a new reception desk it was ordered from Germany, clearly no carpenters in the South East. The hospital maintenance team came and measured up but between that stage and the desk arriving, centimeters had got muddled up with inches. Consequently when it arrived it was far too big for the space it was intended for. Cue the maintenance team again who had to rejig the desk in order for it to fit. A sizeable amount was thrown away. What a total waste of money. I wouldn't worry annsixty these were 'professionals'.

It’s like the scene from Spinal Tap, only in reverse. ?

Bloody hell Ann!
I’ve just read your post again and seen the dimensions!
Here is mine, yellow biro for scale.
Note that it’s not actually telling the time (apart from twice a day, as they say)

Sorry, your GD!

She'll know what to do. Just tell her it's not "you" ?

Look at it this way, you wont have to squint to tell the time!

I was going to say that there's no excuse for being late for anything now! ?

Annsixty couriers will collect from you!
Yes, they will, we had something go wrong under guarantee, not a huge item but too heavy and bulky to get to the PO or Hermes depot and it was collected without charge.

Can your DD help you to sort it?

It seems a waste of £69.99! And each time you look at it, you'll be reminded of your error.

Ann that’s a seriously large clock!

In or on the garden shed Bloss?

We have one in the garden shed.

Ha Ha a very timely post. My Tesco delivery has just arrived with my new 3 cup cafetière. 3 CUPS do not equal 3 mugs ! It’s shockingly small ?

The clock was reduced at Oak Furniture land from somewhere around £139 to £69,99 so I will find a place for it.
We would have to get it collected, we don’t have transport and the box is enormous.
Better to keep it and learn my lesson I think.

I had to return a power washer which conked out on me within the guarantee period and it was really easy.
In my case it was several months in but luckily I had been sent a replacement so could use the box for that. I assume you still have the packaging?
Go on line to the people you bought it from and they will send you a label to print off and you book your collection date. Job done.
Do not even think of trying to sell it on eBay- much more hassle and responsibility for packaging and sending.
Just get your money back. Internet purchases -even sales purchases are guaranteed to be refunded usually with a limited window (perhaps 2 weeks) so don’t delay.

Get GD to sell for you on e-bay or similar.

That is a brilliant system - we use it a lot. I'd check with Oak Furniture Land ann. I returned something to Made quite easily.

I’ve got a huge one in my kitchen.
It stopped working after about a month!
I’ve had it for about ten years. Still like it though!
Will post a picture shortly

Will the sellers arange for it to be picked up for return? If not, Royal Mail will collect it and deliver it, if it is within their size/weight limits. They will pick it up from your house. You just have to put it back into its packaging, pay the postage (online) and book collection. www.royalmail.com/collection

Lol

Reminded me of this man who ordered bedside lamps from amazon

I did the opposite - needed a new basic kitchen clock. Saw one on Argos site and reserved it. When I collected it, found it was tiny - about 6 inch diameter. Looks a bit silly on wall but will do for now - cheap anyway.
