It really fcuking is

I'd have to say I usually don't fall for it but this time I did......

Got married in August and thought we'd get a SuperKing Bed and Mattress with the sponduli that we got from it.

In the end used a company called furniture123.co.uk based in Leeds. Good-looking site, seemed professional enough, and good prices...around £100 cheaper per item than anywhere else.

6 Weeks later, they arrive, and are not, well, perfect as they should be for £1300. Send them back and they say they'll despatch a new lot in 4-5 weeks. It arrived 20 mins ago....and still had the same fcuking duct tape on the boxes I used to seal them back up in the first fcukin place! They'd just sent it back to me 5 weeks later

So, whatever you do, don't use this company...pay more and use House of Fraser, John Lewis or whatever reputable co you can think of. Which is what I'll be doing over New Year. With any luck we'll have it by our first anniversary

furniture123 Ltd Sandway Business Centre Shannon Street Leeds LS9 8SS

Complete and utter fcuking w&nkers

I hate people that waste other people's time...like it's free to wait around for something to be delivered twice....and a room that still has no bloody bed three months later

Still I get to be Mr Angry on the phone

I found their website whilst looking for some furniture on ebay.... never ended up buying anything from them, and don't think I will bother now either!

Ah.... I know them. Sandwy is the place, just right next to the A64 York Road as it goes into town.

Want me to call by and walk in with a baseball bat and say "Right! Which one of you fuckers is sending out dodgy beds?!?!"

Those cnuts sacked my brother when he was an apprentice joiner because he broke his hand playing rugby. Right set of tw*ts.
