Ordered mine this morning on web and picked up in local Hellfords this afternoon.
Was considering these a few weeks ago but couldn't justify the cost however at this price - couldn't resist!
If you specify your location, they will reserve these for 24hrs at the nearest store to you. Aternatively, it's free delivery (I believe)? Seats down and no probs for transporting home but cabinet is heavy so may benefit from two persons to collect and lift into the back (do not rely on the Hellfords robots to help, anything more than pointing to where something is and they get a nose bleed!)
Great spot thanks!

Afraid not - there was one man doing the delivery and I had to help him carry cabinet and then chest.
They are big bu**ers. I think the cabinet box said 54kg.
When you get it grease up the moving parts.
And watch the stickers. After fitting everything and loading up all the drawers, I pulled off one sticker and it lifted some specks of paint off. The hassle of complaining and returning it wouldn't be worth it, so touch-up pen will need to do.

Picked mine up from SWINDON Halfords this morning, staff could not have been more helpful. Only in store for about five minutes. In that time I was asked if I needed any assistance three times, whilst I was waiting. The staff member who loaded the boxes for me said the main problem was people turning up with a too small vehicle, or one that was already loaded. The boxes weigh 57 kgs and 38 kgs.

Picked mine yesterday reserved online on Friday night, they rung me sat morning to say there was a dent in it but if I still wanted them they would work something out.
Arrived over and the manager said he was willing to give £30 off. I asked if he would throw a set of ratchet spanners and a rechargeable led work light he agreed so I got a bargain. They lifted them into the back of the discovery and I left a happy man.
Really good deal thanks for posting

Just ordered mine - reserve and collect tonight
EDIT: Picked 'em up last night - looks very nice kit and no damage to boot 
Impulse bought a set of 12 ratchet spanners whilst I was at at 
Now - all I've got to do is fill the rest of the drawers

Just admiring those pics of your pristine workshop and tools, Robbie. As a fellow OCD sufferer I thought you ought to know that one of your yellow-handled screwdrivers is misaligned.
Better nip out now and sort him out, or they'll all be at it tomorrow!  I love the smell of FBH in the morning... The smell, you know that gasoline smell... Smells like...victory!

Anyone know where to get 'organisers' for the multitude of drawers I now have at my disposal
Short of keeping everything in thier original blow moulded cases, I can't see how the tools won't just end up an unmanaged mess
