Is there no companies offering 'a delivery service' for a fee ?<BR/><BR/>Ikea offer a service, where you can leave a deposit and 'borrow' their van. Not a great option if you live very south tho, as you have to bring it back !Russell McQuillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278851546179897309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22740693.post-45411456721193243952008-10-20T17:31:00.000+01:002008-10-20T17:31:00.000+01:00I think Belfast has got to be better than queuing ...I think Belfast has got to be better than queuing with four million other people when Dublin opens in the new year. The problem is that everybody in the group is going to want to have a look before they buy, aren't they? I somehow wouldn't trust a picture to make my mind up for me - I'd want to see for myself. But at least the group van should save some money. I think if you fly to Belfast you can more or less walk to Ikea and hire a one-way van there.

I suppose not everyone will be able to go anyway so perhaps those who stay at home can sub the people doing the driving/collecting?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468273501927176734noreply@blogger.com
