DIARY OF NEXT DAY DELIVERY WEDNESDAY: I was searching for some external masonry paint, which I needed urgently, given a break in the rainy weather was forecast - i live in North Wales, so every dry day counts! I therefore needed it delivered next working day. Maxwell's was the cheapest that offered next day delivery. I ordered it on Sunday night, the order was acknowledged on Monday morning - and I received notification on Tuesday that it would arrive today, Wednesday (I'm waiting, but there's time...). That's not next day delivery, but the day after next. I rang and was told that there had been none of the colour I wanted in stock so they had had to order it and then send it on. I said I would have appreciated being told that on Monday morning so I could make alternative arrangements. I think that was owed to me. To be fair, the agent appologised, if a little formulaically, and refunded the money for delivery. The good news is that the sun is actually shining today and the forecast has changed, removing the rain! THURSDAY: HOWEVER, no delivery came! Phoned this morning and was told that the courier, UK Mail Ltd, had not been able to find my address - which they have been to before! They wanted my phone number so as to contact me and get details of how to get here - surely they must have satnav nowadays if they are couriers! So, no delivery till tomorrow. It seems 'next day delivery' means delivery four days later. FRIDAY: HOWEVER! Delivery was promised by 12 today, but nothing! at least Beth, the Maxwell's agent I am in contact with this time, is friendly and doing her best to help, but without avail. It looks now as if 'next day delivery' means five days later' - that is if they deliver on a Saturday. UKMail driver came but would not drive through a gate and down a track that all other couriers take with no trouble. SATURDAY: with a lot of help from Beth and from the man at the UKCMail distribution centre, the package was delivered this morning. The driver said the Satnav brought him straight here! To be fair to Maxwell's, apart from sending it one day later, the main problem is with the courier, who has been very inefficient. However, Maxwell's employed them, not me! Fortunately, the sun is shining! Now let's get painting. AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT QUICK DELIVERY

Excellent delivery within 24 hours of placing order. Slightly more expensive than an alternative supplier, however similar items ordered from alternative supplier only turned up at 15:00 hrs the day after they were supposed to be delivered. Will use Maxwells again.

Items came the next day, minus one which was damaged in transit. Maxwell sent out replacement immediately. This is the second time I've used them as found items cheaper than anywhere else. Would recommend.

I ordered 1L of Sandtex bitter chocolate from Maxwell's DIY. It arrived within a few days and packaged to prevent any damage or spillage. The price was competitive - overall a great purchase!
