Grrr. I ordered the cotbed and mattress from BabiesRUs (thanks for all the recommendations!) last week and have now been informed by email that the mattress will be delivered, today, tomorrow or the next day 8am-9pm and the cotbed will arrive on Friday 8am-9pm. So 4 days this week I'm not allowed to go out! Luckily I'm off work but still! Will just have to mooch on here...:\)

Grrrr - it's such a pain in the bum when they give such wide delivery slots!! Here's hoping it turns up today so you're not left hanging around!! Any money says it comes about 7pm on Wednesday though!! Typical!x

Talk about vague lol!

i had this with mothercare... basically they said our matress would arrive by courier at some point in the next 5 working days??????? how helpful!!!

I had my cotbed and changer from Babies R Us. They were delivered seperatley as the changing unit and a few other bits were a 1 man job but the cotbed was a 2 man job and they called me a few days before to arrange a smaller timeslot for this one and then the delivery bloke rang me when he was about half hour away on the day so hopefully they will d o the same with you. x

You're right Beth, the cotbed is a 2 man job so that's coming on Fri and I can ring the day before to check a narrower time slot but there's no more info about the mattress... hasn't come yet but hubby gets home soon so I can go out to aquanatal!

we had similar problems, in the end we paid extra to specify a delivery day, which isnt great when you think how much you have spent to start with!

Personally I think that's appalling! I would ring up and complain. There is no way I would stay in all that time and that has put me off ordering from BabiesRUs in the future. I hope you can get it sorted.

Hmmm, no delivery yet... I'm getting on with lots of boring cleaning/ sorting jobs though so it's probably a good thing as it needs to be done! So far I've ticked off the list:
Dust blinds
Clean out cupboards
Wash windows
Clear hubby's wardrobe
Hoover all the corners
Book MOT and service for car
Register with a dentist
Sort car insurance

Very bored now but at least those pesky jobs are getting done!
