Paddocks are doing Colways for £38, or £30 for the 205/16 I have just
bought. They are doing Kingpins even cheaper I think.

Then again, they promised delivery today (and charged me £25 for the
privilege). Nothing has arrived, so Paddock have once again let me
down (2 of my last 4 orders have failed to show).

Yebbut, (and as I know only too well) the failure of the appointed
courier is the fault of the company that employ them. Even when they
(repeatedly) read the 'ship from' label as 'destination' and deliver
your own parcel back to you, dutifully before 10am and in very good
condition! But that's another story...

I debated driving to Paddock to pick them up, as they are needed in a
hurry (well, this morning really). But I was assured they were in
stock (checked twice) and agreed to pay more for next day delivery.

At £25 they are not a cheap carrier, and they've only got to come
about 40 miles or so.

just a minor point, make sure before you slag 'em that it's not the couriers
being lazy sods. very rare that couriers get to this place as fast as
advertised. sometimes, but not that often, and very unusual on a friday or
saturday. Granted, we're a long way from some of 'em, but that's no excuse.
Which doesn't either mean it's NOT Paddock, just that I've a dim view of
couriers...
