My issue is the £2 so called collection charge

What an odd none deal this is.....cheap toaster than is only a tenner, £2 saving countered by a collection charge of £2.

Cold.

My explanation....is one really needed? It was merely a quip as a reply to the person that asked for one. My advice to you.....






Lighten up. (And please do not over analyse the word 'lighten up' to mean anything weight related)

Collected toaster and kettle. Very pleased and great price.

The kettles and toasters were £20 each at some stage as looked at the price of the white ones and they say they were 20 pound therefore think the 10 pound pricecwas a sale price and a further 2 pound off - people moaning about the 2 pound collection fee but they are delivered to store. I ordered a blue toaster and blue toaster and blue blender all for 26 pounds and a red blender for another 10 = total price 36 so free delivery to store.

I wouldn't mind if in-store pickup was changed to make it only to an Extra (free collection), though I guess that won't happen. My logic being that Extra stores will have more available stock instore.

I've only collected two orders from Tesco Direct (right before the £2 charge) and Yodel delivered them to my Express (nearest Extra is a 1.5 miles away). I suppose it's that, and the labelling and packaging, we're paying for.

£2 for collection?? and they wonder why online stores are killing physical shops. delivery yeah I can understand but ive got to give money to collect items from the store?

£2 charge is not acceptable. Hope you are reading Tesco.

How good is it with really thin bread (perhaps 5mm thick)? In other words how small will the slots shrink to?

How are you finding people's old posts?

Pay £2 extra to travel to their store to collect my order. :smirk:

I'm already paying fuel costs to go collect my order, I'm certainly not going to pay another £2 to walk into a Tesco store.

I should be charging Tesco for my custom, customers are free to choose where to shop. Tesco should feel privileged that customers choose to shop at their stores, Tesco shouldn't be charging their customers.

I've stopped using Tesco since the £2 charge, ebay, Amazon & Currys deliver my goods to my front door for FREE.

Toasters that don't fit bread, tescos boycotts, tax dodging Tory questions, scientific formulas....

I love HUKD!

I think you need to read what strawmanning means. We have already discussed my entirely useless comment (is highlighting your own 'useless' comments as an example of pot calling kettle black considered strawmanning to you btw? I really am struggling to fathom out your definition) , but if you feel my responses are going totally off track by giving different propositions then clearly we are not done.......

So let us try again shall we.

My entirely useless comment does not fill the top spot, I already explained it does not.

Further to this, if you feel that you know better on how HUKD is run and have a problem with the 'like' comment structuring and feel humour (which others have 'liked'..literally) has no place here or in any thread then you are barking up the wrong tree and would do much better complaining about it to the mods.

Meanwhile I will go on posting comments as I feel, within the confides of the terms and conditions outlayed on HUKD...whether that be offering useful advice or posting deals or for that matter posting humourous quips.

I hope to see you around, contributing to this forum.

​That question is too taxing for me.

Aside from the fact that you're strawmanning my argument, your entirely useless comment still fills up a spot which otherwise might be quite useful.
This comment thread has gotten far too petty for my liking, so hopefully I'll see you around.

Really does sound like you have issues.....you will be pleased to know the top comment is about the Tesco £2 collection charge, meanwhile my 'joke' takes second spot.

Hope this satisfies your personal preference of how you feel HUKD should operate. :smirk:

CRAP AND COLD..... any company that charges me to pick up their products from their store can go to hell....

They will be trying to charge an entry fee for shoppers next!!!!!

I appreciate the need you felt to browse my profile, despite the apparent non-contributory nature of my account <3 IMO there's nothing wrong with a bit of banter, which is especially true for valid critique of an item - my issue arises when a useless comment gets upvoted to the top of the page which removes the spot from a more informative post which would otherwise have the top comment spot.
Especially annoying when the comment spreads disinformation. I see no reason as to why a 4-slice toaster would operate any slower than a 2-slice toaster, considering things such as resistors exist.

I'm just wondering if that large area includes Panama given Warburtons donates to the Tory party.

Cold, cause it's crap. No bread I put in it fitted. Standard square loaf from 3 main companies wouldn't fit. Returned.

Bought one 3 weeks ago instore for £10, only problem I found with it was not all bread fits, think it was warburtons that was too long ,

I say we boycott companies that charge for a click and collect such as this when most companies are free.

Thanks OP, ordered kettle and toaster. Hot toast added.:smirk:

Got the last one in the Wigan store for £5.00

Crikey didn't think a toaster deal would cause so much contraversy. Exciting stuff

Toaster contest : post your toaster model and time to toast. Please include make of bread for fair comparison and picture of how toasted you like your toast.

Voted hot BTW £8 for a 4 slice toaster ?
Unbelievable value.

My issue is the £2 so called collection charge

I got a dualit 6 slice toaster. Bet its faster than cooking 3 lots of toast in your crumby 2 slice toaster

ordered kettle and toaster. thank you.

Good find, heated up

Try posting some deals, getting some badges after your name and perhaps...just perhaps we might get some balance to your argument. Until then, as far as I am concerned firstly you have no credance to your argument, and secondly regardless of whether you found it amusing or not, several others did and I do contribute adding balance to comments :man:

But, let's for a moment consider your [contribution] to HUKD....cannot say I am keen on them personally myself, but was this really necessary?


Pot....kettle....black....toaster.....:smirk:

It's not at all. HUKD comments section is littered with non-funny jokes and such.

So do we know if a 2 and 4 slice toaster are the same power? Maybe if we only use 2 slices of toast those elements run at a higher power than if using 4 slices, when they reduce down. I doubt it'll be quicker to use a 2 slice twice than a 4 slice once if you want 4 slices, but I haven't tried it.

In order to allow for a possible 8 heating elements to be active at once ( 4 slices of toast , 2 elements each) they have to reduce the wattage of the elements otherwise they will exceed the 13amp maximum from a standard socket. This makes it toast slower.
In a 2 slice toaster you can have higher rated heating elements as only a maximum of 4 elements will run at a time.

Photon related?

Thanks Heat added

Just ordered to replace crap Currys toaster that browns one side faster than the other.
heat added

how is this relevant here? Assuming this 4 slice toaster is the same power as a 2 slice toaster (it may not be), then the heat will be spread over a bigger area, so yes, it might be slower. Not sure how your equation shows this though. Would be delighted to hear the explanation.

I bought purple toaster and kettle about a month ago for this price and they are ace! great value and bread is evenly toasted even when you use one slice. no idea why I got purple because I can't find accessories to go with it lol. heat :wink:

Bought both, thanks

What an odd none deal this is.....cheap toaster than is only a tenner, £2 saving countered by a collection charge of £2.

Cold.

The scientific basis is toast! :confused:

This is a good quality toaster. I purchased the same toaster a while back

kettle and toaster ordered thanks!
free delivery as we have delivery saver in place - coming tomorrow!

4 slice toasters tend to be a bit slower in toasting than most 2 slice toasters but I don't find it a huge issue

Perfect was going to get a replacement today.

Brilliant buy! :wink: Thanks OP!

Thank you for posting. Kettle and Toaster ordered.
