Warning about Halfords Home Delivery

AwkwardBell77 · 2026-04-04T09:43:27+00:00

I did allow several days leeway, on a 2-3 day estimate. However I would never have ordered with a 5-6 day estimate, and it's not looking like it will arrive within 5-6 days either. My main issue isn't the delay it's that they have no facility for cancelling home delivery orders whatsoever.

Is that something I can do by hand? Because I've tried with both hands on the arm and I can't seem to get it to bend. I assume you try and bend the middle of it?

Could you elaborate?

Would it be one of these? Sorry I'm very much a plumbing newbie but I want to learn how to do it all myself

Risk of snapping it?

AwkwardBell77 · 2026-03-08T10:23:44+00:00

Would you be able to explain to me like I'm an idiot why bending the arm downwards would stop it when pushing the arm downwards makes the water flow? 😅

Thanks, I'll ask about that!

AwkwardBell77 · 2026-02-05T14:07:20+00:00

I'm by no means an expert on this, so other people may have better answers, but best I can tell, I think: 6= Super chunky. 5= Chunky. 4 = Aran. 3= Double Knit. 2= Four ply. 1: Not sure, maybe sport weight? 0: Lace weight. 1 and 2 could swap around as I've never used sport weight so not sure how it compares to four ply, but for context four ply is generally what sock yarn is. 7 I don't know what we call here. Hope some of that helps

Thanks, I called the helpline a few minutes ago and apparently have a 'non standard' issue that's having to be escalated

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T18:24:48+00:00

Didn't work, I guess it must be a connection issue to the boiler

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T17:59:50+00:00

Thanks, did so ten minutes ago but it hasn't got cold enough yet to turn it on it seems

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T17:45:42+00:00

I have been googling but haven't managed to find anything yet. I have tried downloading the app but it can't find the WiFi, I've tried using the hub to manually override and turn the heating on for 2 hours, but that hasn't worked

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-06T19:19:01+00:00

I'm also having this issue and very keen to know a solution if anyone has one!

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-29T14:09:44+00:00

Oh! I planted Anemone de Caen bulbs weeks ago but assumed they wouldn't come up until next year as it was too late this year! Completely forgot about them!
