Yeah, pretty much all of the scrap yards in that area have two high stacks. The car I was taking a brake caliper off was on top of another which made things a lot easier (apart from nearly getting brake fluid all over me).
Yards around here you're not allowed to climb on or around the stacks. They make you take an employee with you to do it. They told my old man it has to do with their insurance.
If they're stacked more than two high, an employee has to get what you're after. You're not even allowed near the stack. You have to stay at least twenty-five feet away while they get what you came after.
the delivery co actually refunded me £2.62 more than I asked for
then I noticed that the paypal fees were £2.62, so that explained that
then paypal refunded the £2.62 as well - so yay, £2.62 up :)
he says he isn't well and just asked the guy to 'shove it in the garage', didn't get round to looking at it for a couple of days
tbh, I don't care if he did get a lathe and a refund, I don't think he was on the fiddle, but it didn't cost me anything in the end so I couldn't care less.
Glad it worked out for you! Makes sense the delivery company would waive their industry-standard-since-forever policy on compassionate grounds (and don't need publicity about smashing and pilfering).

I broke a pair of sunglasses on the weekend, so I'm selling the lenses (linky in case anyone's interested - Oakley half jacket lens kit). I've decided to stick them on ebay for no other reason than I want to get rid of them and it's convenient. Anywho, they've changed the selling procedure since I last used it, and found this suggestion thingy.
The lenses are going for the £20 to £30 mark new, so why it thinks a second hand set would be ripe for the picking at £37.85 is a tad confusing.
