Certainly are deliveries to Bahceli/Kucuk Erenkoy area. I guess you will need to specify the area of Esentepe if posters can help further.

It's the estate near the Tastefast restaurant ( was the Red Fort ) just along from Tempo.

Thanks

Try Ali (0533 877 5961). He has limited English but is helpful. I know he delivers to Bahceli. If you are too far for him, he will know somebody.

Be careful with Ali, he delivered 2 tonnes for us and charged us 60tl ( yes 30tl per tonne) then became very abusive towards my wife when we told him we would not be using him again,

I know of this incident and queried him about it. He stated he delivered two tonnes into two separate tanks = 4 tonnes. Who knows? I use him, but do monitor his deliveries and have a water measuring gauge. However, if you can find an alternative provider, who you can trust and rely upon - bon chance.

tomsteel - Ali definitely only delivered 2 tonnes. He couldn't possibly have delivered more as we only had a 2 tonne tank at the time.

Moonrakers - try Celal (0533 862 1452). Be aware he will only deliver by the tanker full (so 6 tonne at a time). We purchased a second water tank rather than deal with anyone else.

As I stated, he said this and I was not present. I watch him like a hawk, but he does deliver when I call him and does not insist upon only full loads. Tanker delivery is fraught with 'rip off' risk.

I think that it's a part of the job, it almost becomes second nature, and they don't even conciously realise that they're doing it!

It must be something about 'delivering to the home' -

When I was little, my mother always made me watch the coalman delivering, and count the bags, and after the coalman and I disagreed one time, I insisted that he leave the empty bags by the coal shed until he'd finished - there was never any doubt after that

Unfortunately water does not come in bags.... anyway your coal man probably had spare empty bags from earlier deliveries...
