This is a long shot I know, but does anyone know of a service that'll go into b and q and post an item for me?

Need a lock to go with some handles we've bought, there's no stock near me and they won't deliver 😩 so wondered if there's any kind of personal shopper app that'll do this that u guys may know of?

If its not in local B&Q i'm guessing its in another town over - so would be quite a distance for them to come deliver it to you I expect. You'd be spending majority of fees on delivery for their petrol costs (if it's anything like deliveroo then it'll just be a teenager on a moped).

Doesn't sound like a very good business if they can only make a couple of stops in a day.

We're replacing the door handles in our house and this lock matches the style. The closest 1 that's in stock is like 25 miles away and I don't really wanna drive all that way for a £6 lock. I didn't know if there was any way of having them post it but I always knew it'd be a long shot.
Amazon or anywhere for that matter (that I've found) don't do the same style.
Thanks for the replys tho guys

Try ebay. When i need something from IKEA and cant be bothered to drive there I often just get it from ebay as theres alot of people reselling them for a little more.

You could give them a call to enquire about delivery etc.

Make sure they give you a direct answer.

It's such a hassle, my local B&Q never has any stock, been checking some bits for months.
Managed to order some paint, but the rest just isn't worth it, delivery requires a £100 minimum for £5-6 items... No Sir, I want 2, not 20!

bummer none near me either but next town over! next best bet is Screwfix, https://www.screwfix.com/c/security-ironmongery/thumbturns/cat840400

same company as B&Q so the potential for similar/same stock?
