OOOH, what a swizz! My local (town centre) shop may cost slightly more
than the edge of town warehouse operation (but not always!), but as they
charge for delivery and removal of the old appliance and the town centre
shop doesn't, it works out at about the same price. To keep the local
shop in business, I'll got with them! They are usually quicker and even
delivered my new washer 3 weeks early when the old one went bang ahead
of schedule! I didn't buy the fridge-freezer from them because they
couldn't deliver on Boxing Day and the on-line store could, for the same
price, including taking the old one away.
