That is outragous. I always order online with Asda, Tesco, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, Debenhams - whose delivery charges are standard for furniture. I buy appliances from the Coop as they deliver for free.

My husband got a call the other day to advise that it would be an extra £30 for the delivery of 2 filing cabinets. When he said just to cancel the order, they immediately cut it to £15. Maybe worth a try getting back to ask if there is any negotiation (surely they deliver to the north regularly and could combine delivery with others to make it worth their while?) An extra £105 on top of an already expensive sofa is unreasonable in my opinion.

Good luck with it!

Even our mailorder catalogue just charges 20quid for furniture delivery. Good luck with getting a reduction. The poor quality of DFS sofas would make me buy locally.

A & D Thurso and Wick not only have a huge range in their showrooms but can order from catalogues too. My last settee and recliner + storage stool to match came from Alstons in Cumbria. Came two weeks earlier than expected and made in UK by quality craftsmen, and didn`t have to pay for delivery with an arm or a leg. Alstons also have a webpage but the furniture I wanted was cheaper through their local agent.

We ordered ALL our furniture for our new house around four years ago now from Reids furniture, the whole lot was delivered for £35.

£789 for a two seater sofa and then and extra £105 for delivery...................Tell them where to go and buy elsewhere.

Personally I would not pay a penny more than £400 for a two seater sofa and I would would be looking for either free delivery or a maximum of £20.

As an example from Argos a nice chocolate coloured leather sofa for £279.99 and their delivery charge is only £8,95. Argos have loads of sofa's on sale right now, 50% off, and well worth a look.
