Suwi's Place

Yeah, right! Tell that to the delivery guys! *sigh*

So I'm going to start the New Year with a moan! OK, so I like a good moan...

Delivery driver number ONE.....

Fridge Freezer from Next

Delivery date 12th December betrween 9am and 9pm. They arrive about 7:30pm it's pitch dark. They unbox it and manover it through the side gate THEN we see a HUGE scrtch down the side!!! So it goes back! 20th December and Fridge Freezer number two arrive this time mid afternoon, they unpack it and....... a small scrach with a long dent!!!!!! BUT this time on the other side which wont show so now I need to decide what to do? I'm offered a 25% discount OR I wait until after Christmas for fridge #3? Maybe I should mention at this point the Fridge Freezer is a SMEG and I have ALWAYS wanted a SMEG! In the end I can't go through this anymore I take the discount!

Delivery Driver number TWO....

Toaster from John Lewis

I brought the DeLongi toaster last year and it was packed away for six moths as I wanted to wait until my kitchen was done before i started using it! Well, my old toaster stopped working so I started using it! It blew up! say I asked for an exchange. Simple? Well, three phone calls later the new toaster arrives. So when will they take the old one back? Driver says he only delivers and another one will be along to collect??? NO COLLECTION! Two more phone calls and they arrange to collect it on the 27th between 9 and 3 as I'm going out. NO COLLECTION so I go out. When we get home there is a not in the door someone called at 3:40 to collect! More phone calls and they arrange to collect it this past Tuesday the 3rd.. guess what! I wait in all day and NOTHING!!!! NO COLLECTION! So I have now waisted THREE days! I phone them AGAIN tell them they had just better not charge me for the second toaster! They tell me the drivers did not work on Tuesday???? So why tell me it will be collected???? So now  collection is arranged for FRIDAY after 3:30 as I'm not staying home ALL day!

Delivery Driver number THREE....

Earrings and gloves from AllSaints

Sorry no picture of the earrings

Well, all started OK! I received an e.mail telling me that my parcel would arrive between 11.33 and 12.33. Very precise I thought? Anyway at one o'clock I try to check on the net... I says it was delived at 11:40???? I try to phone the delivery company... NOTHING! So I phone AllSaints they are very helpful and try to sort it out, I even end up talking to the manager and that was WITHOUT my asking for him? Anyway turns out the driver went to #1 by mistake and could not be bothered to walk the extra couple of yards to my home so left my parcel with next door? So I go next door and no one home!

I need to add at this point that the lady of the house is Scottish and this was the day before New Years Eve and I now the last couple of years they have gone to Scotland for Hogmony! The manager of AllSaints gives me a 25% refund and offers to currier my goodies to my if they are not home! But they are home he is going into hospital to have a hip replasment so no Scotland this year! I get my goodies!

Delivery Driver Number FOUR....

Two Barbie Fashionistas Jet Set Dolls from Argos

I wanted all three but they only had two left so I pay for the two and they are due to be delivered on Tuesday NO DELIVERY! ( OK, so it was not until this morning (Thursday) that I realise they have not arrived) I phone Argos, apparently my dolls went to the wrong depo and will be delivered today? I express my displeasure and I'm refunded my postage and offered a £5 gift card which I accept. Late this afternoon my parcel arrives ONLY ONE DOLL in a very smashed up box. Glad I'm a de-boxer.  So I have the girl in the skirt. I phone Argos and demand I speak to a manager. I gotta say he was very apologetic and phoned me back having located one of the other dolls in one of their stores and the store is sending it to me.... We will see? Compensation for the extra hassle I ask? He said he will refund me the price of one of the dolls!

So that's it so far.... watch this space!

Oh, I almost forgot! I ordered twelve FR and Nu Face bodies and only eleven arrived!
