We don't have British Gas over here, so I'd expect there to be very little to deliver :Very Happy

The galling thing is that you may have to sign up to paperless billing to get them. So not only will we be delivering the bulbs, it will affect our future workload as well :silenced :Sick

Clearly this is why British Gas prices are always so high because they keep sending out all this unsolicited mail. Had a few today from Southern Electric so they're all at it.

If I cant deliver I always put a description of "BG Lightbulbs" on the Form Left, that gives them the choice of collecting it or not.

If they start moaning about a wasted journey, resist the urge to say (in a scouse accent)
