Has anyone managed to get JE James to deliver to their work address, if so, how did you convince them to do it?

It says on their website that they won't for the first few orders due to fraud, but I live 40 miles away from the nearest home delivery network depot, and in the past I've found them crap (HDN!) for delivery, and I can't afford to take any time off work to sit at home on the off chance that they bother to attempt a delivery, rather than just card my door, and not actually have the package on the van, as has happened to me in the past!

try phoning them and explaining the situation? They may be more willing to do this if they talk to you rather than do the whole thing via web/email?

Very unlikely.
My sister lives in Sheffield and for my nephew's birthday I wanted to buy him a bike. I couldn't pay for the bike over the phone using a credit card, then have my sister collect it.
It would have to be posted to my credit card address in London.

The way round it might be for it be undelivered to your house, you then ring the delivery people and using reference on the missed delivery card ask for item to be redilivered to your work address as you won't ever be at home during delivery hours.
Some delivery companies will do this.

J E James sometimes use Royal Mail (better for me but not you in this circumstance). Last delivery from them though was by Home. A pain for me to collect but might(?) re-deliver to your work. Might.

I think it's sorted!

They use home delivery whos nearest depot is 40 miles away, and from a failed Amazon order, they only redeliver to the same address. I don't trust them to sort out a delivery to a house I'm not at, hence trying to get it sorted some other way.

I got a nice email from the bods of JE James with a solution, have done the transaction, and it appeared to go through OK. Still waiting for an email confirmation, but my work email has been very slow recently!

So fingers crossed, some bargin Revelations for "Gertie" my new mmmbop build should be winging there way to me soon :mrgreen:
