Mine just kinda balances on the washers but happy enough with that.

You've given it to the ladies who do your dishes?

Ive got one and have to say I was a bit surprised how shoddy the fixing arrangements were but then thought about the fact there 800k+ of them so wasn't gonna be anything else. Mine just kinda balances on the washers but happy enough with that.

That'll be blue then?

What colour did you get?

[GlenW]

Mine just arrived.

Buggered if I can get washer C onto the stick though.

Just had mine delivered and still intact - a first for yodel.

The packaging is excellent I must say. So is the poppy!

[vwdan]

Ours came - Yodel initially put a note halfway through the letterbox while I was sat in the kitchen working. I was pretty irritated by this, but they came back later in the day to try again so a rather waste of effort on their part.

It's pretty cool and very well packed.

Yes it is a worry, you do get an email with a tracking number.

Yeah, I got that email.

"Your parcel is awaiting collection" - shows Jan/Feb as expected delivery.

eBay have banned such sales.

Yeah I know, usually people find a way to circumvent though!

[vetran]

Still gutted I didn't get one of them, surprised there are none on ebay (yes I know that is immoral but I have very good reason to try and get my hands on one)

Ah, this will be related to the Fed Ex I calls I keep missing. :-)

Edit : Or may be not as seems to be a Yodel monopoly.

I received my tracking number today - first thought was "it's yodel - if it does turn up, it'll be broken"

[vetran]

Oh dear.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for buying a poppy from Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, an installation by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper. The installation has now finished, so your poppy is being picked and will soon be on its way to be cleaned, packaged and delivered to you as planned - in fact some poppies have already been delivered.

Each ceramic poppy is one of the 888,246 that have been hand-made and planted in the Tower of London's moat during the past three months. Each poppy will vary by texture, colour and finish. This variation is an intrinsic part of the installation.
