Waiting in for delivery men
« on: March 26, 2009, 10:38:58 AM »
 evil:

So our phone died and I ordered a new one from Tesco Direct. It's being delivered today. It will be delivered, they tell me, between 7.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m.   evil:

So I wait. If I leave the house for one minute they will come and depart again.

I actually went out just now and hid round a corner to see if I could trick them into coming and then sort of leap out at them, like. But they were too cunning for me  evil:

Now I just wait  evil:

Argos just delivered two book cases ordered on Tuesday afternoon.
Well a courier just delivered One bookcase and one box containing two folding bar stools. I pointed out to him that this was wrong and he shrugged and said "Nuffin' to do wiv me mate, you'll have to speak to Argos" and drove off ~ I have "Spoken" to Argos  eveilgrin:
The offending stools will be picked up tomorrow twixt 7 and 10 am and the other bookcase delivered ~ the courier company will be spoken to.
A letter of apology is on it's way ~ "Ding" It just dropped into my inbox.

It will all be fine - they will deliver before lunchtime - you will have what you need and the rest of the day will be yours to do as you wish.

I know what they are after and they know I know.  evil:

I usually have to hold up the traffic after a visit so they can cross the road. It'll be the annual 'Presentation of the Ducklings' next, I know it   evil:
