Why I Won't Ever Buy A Radiator From ScrewFix

TLDR =  I'd buy it from Wickes instead. This is quite a saga, but details the issues, complications and frustrations I had when I bought two radiators from ScrewFix.  One was 1.6m x 60cm and was pretty heavy.  I would struggle to get that into my car, so wanted it delivered.

A lot of sites suggested using a "Disconnect" button, but that wasn't there either. So in the end, I realised I needed to go into "Access Work or School".  Then you see the email and accounts stuff, just like above, but here the Disconnect button appears
