Cocks

Posted at 2:24 pm, Friday March 7, 2008 by rich

I ordered a nice shiny new phone yesterday to replace my aging K750i, reassured by the promise of next-day delivery I opted to pay extra for Saturday morning delivery as I was guaranteed to be in then and it gave them an extra day to sort things out.

I should have been slightly concerned when the order never appeared on my account, but I was still getting emails saying it was being dealt with, however I’ve just had a cryptic email which after telling me what to do about returning faulty handsets, seems to say that rather than deliver when they said they could, they might send it within 5 working days if I’m lucky. Time to cancel the order and go elsewhere I think.

Will they leave it with a neighbour, or will I have to get up tomorrow morning to drive to Bristol? Can you cope with the excitement?

Misleading

Posted at 12:41 pm, Thursday January 10, 2008 by rich

I just ordered some audio tweaking bits from a company up north partly because they were cheap, but mainly because they said they used DHL for deliveries, and the DHL depot is just round the corner.

Within 45 minutes of placing the order it’d already been dispatched which is great, execept they’ve sent it out with City Link which almost certainly means a trip into Bristol to collect it. Fuckwits.
