Nearholmer Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I don't even have the faintest idea what the "trunk" is or does, but returning to the elephant theme, I am convinced that Hattons never forget, because they have sent me an email about this trunk thing, and to the best of my recollection I haven't bought anything from them since c1967, when I mail-ordered four sets of Hornby Dublo 2-rail points, which were going dirt-cheap at the time. 53 years, about eight changes of address, and the invention of e-mail ......... how did they find me??

Jon Harbour Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Got my first delivery through from my Hatton's trunk this week. I'm delighted with this facility! It is a superb way of being able to control my shipping costs for purchases being send to Australia. I have a mental picture of the Hatton's warehouse full of things like this: All of them having dodgy looking labels on with people's names!

Jon Harbour Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @Hatton's Dave - can you show us what the 'trunks' actually look like? Interested to see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to see... On the website (and ISTR the emails that I received) Presumably they just put the items in one of the blue boxes and when ready for despatching they're packed into a normal box. https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=777 Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Harbour Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yes - makes a lot of sense... I work in Supply Chain and that's is how I would have expected to see it in a warehouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
