Father's Day Delivery

Every once in a while I forget something, I am of course only human.  Fathers Day is quite a big deal to me, I only have one Dad (two Father-in-laws) and this is the one day I get to send him something that he really likes and enjoys and I get to let him know how much he means to me.  We share a private joke every year, he always knows what I am buying him, I don't even have to mention it, he knows this gift is coming and every year I joke and say I am going to do something different one year.  

This year I almost forgot, I had bought his present, which is a bottle of his favourite Whisky, in time, wrapped it securely and packaged it up ready to send off. I then got distracted by other things and this package sat there, and sat there until I suddenly realised two days before that I hadn't sent this parcel to my Dad and I needed it to arrive on the 14th June before 6pm because Dad was going fishing overnight and wouldn't be back until late Sunday and as Father's Day was 15th and there is no Sunday delivery, I need a solution.

Thankfully for me TNT saved the day.  This was my second time using TNT and I am really impressed with their service.  You can go on the website and get a price finder for how much it is going to cost, my package cost just £9.95 just VAT which was significantly cheaper than other avenues.  If you are not sure how to book your package, there is a really helpful online chat assistant who talks you through all of the options.  What I liked was not having to go through the effort of making an account to send one parcel, I could fill in all the relevant details, pay by my card, print off everything I needed and the job is done.

Following the four easy steps:

• Enter Parcel Details to get a quote
• Select the service you require
• Enter the collection details and the destination details
• Confirm and Pay

Now for me, as someone who works from 8am until sometimes 6-7pm in an evening with half an hour for lunch, someone coming to collect my package from me is a lifesaver because there is no way I can make it to go and take my package to be posted, it is quite a distance to walk, the Post Office is closed in a morning when I leave and the same in an evening.  Also I often work weekends as well and have the same problem.

Then once you have booked your parcel in for collection, a TNT representative comes to you office/home to collect it from you and off it goes on its way. Once it has left, you can track whether or not it has been delivered using the consignment number that you will have been given when booking your packaged for delivery. 

Throughout the whole booking process, there is the use of the livechat should you get a little confused and the FAQ section is really helpful.

TNT don't just deliver in the UK, they deliver worldwide and again the countries to which they deliver too can be found on the main website.  You can also post larger items and as with many items you might want to post, there are rules and regulations which need to be adhered too and once again, everything you need with regards to that is clearly visible.

Having now used TNT a few times, I have found them to be brilliant.  The package to my Dad arrived in plenty of time and in one piece.  I have also received quite a lot of packages via TNT and again, they have always arrived on time and in one piece.

Have you ever used TNT? How do you send your packages and parcels?

This year The London Perfume Company have launched Lovers Corner on their website and with every order you get to choose one free gift from a choice of four.

As a customer, you get to choose between a free Solid Perfume Heart or one of three Giorgio Beverly Hills Teddy Bears, when you buy any fragrance listed in the 'Lover's Corner' section for Valentine's Day and these are the items to choose between:

The perfume which you can find within Lovers Corner is quite a wide and varied mixture such as Nina Ricci, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren and Nine West plus a few gifts sets to name just a few of them, so I am sure there will be something for everyone.

Now if this isn't enough to tempt you boys and girls, there is one more offer and that is as well as your gift of choice and one of the options above, you will also receive some Love Heart Swizzles and a very cute makeshift gift tag in within your parcels to add a little extra love and style to your package.

I would love to know which product you purchase and what free gift you choose, I would struggle to choose between those teddy bears which are totally adorable.

Radley Watch - The Perfect Gift!

When the lovely Sara from Pretty In Pink did a post about watches, my 'what to buy my Mum for Christmas' stress was dealt with.

Let me introduce you to a beautiful Radley Watch which I got for the amazing price of £52.49 reduced from £139 from HSamuel. The watch itself is described as being Rose Gold Plated Bracelet, so very in keeping with those 'must have' Rose Gold and a further description is:

"Stylish Radley rose gold plated bracelet watch featuring large white round dial with Radley logo. This on trend style is perfect for work or play".

So already you can see that it comes in this stunning Radley Box and then inside is this soft suede feel box within which the watch sits. The Rose Gold theme is carried on with the packaging which I also really like.  Once the box is open, this is what you get:

So there you have the watch and you can also see what it looks like on my wrist too, it is actually perfectly sized for my wrist and it sits so comfortably, I debated keeping it for myself. 

Do  you have a watch on your wishlist for Santa? Do you like this style of watch?
