Tazio Posted May 21 Posted May 21 (edited) ****ing Amazon!! Paid for something yesterday as it was next day delivery. Checked the tracking details at lunchtime and it’s out for delivery and due between 3.30 and 4.30. Then it doesn’t arrive, check the tracking and it’s been delayed but will be delivered tonight. Then check it again at 10pm and it’s expected on or before the 25th of May. I eventually get someone to call me after fighting with an AI chatbot. They proceed to tell me it is a long delivery process as the seller is based in China. They then lie some more when I ask if the van it was apparently in earlier was in China. Now they're saying I’ll have it by Saturday morning. A soup of lies. Edited May 21 by Tazio

A similar irk of mine is when you are told a delivery is coming on, say, Thursday, and they provide you with the time window in which it will be delivered: 08.00 - 18.00.

Bizarrely I’ve just had an update saying it’s being delivered today. Obviously teleported from China.
Stuart Lyon Posted May 22 Posted May 22 I was told my Fedex delivery the other day would require a signature. They didn't even ring the bell!
rudi must stay Posted May 22 Posted May 22 This morning **** does my head in. "Morning again" a lady said to me the other day you don't want to talk to me don't. So unbelievably false

And then another update saying once again the 25th of May. Roughly 5 minutes after that an alert saying it had been delivered. The most bizarre sequence of misinformation ever for a simple delivery.

The most bizarre sequence of misinformation ever for a simple delivery. Quantum mechanics at work. Package in two places at the same time and is simultaneously delivered and not delivered and which one it is can only be determined when you look at your doorstep.

rudi must stay Posted May 28 Posted May 28 I heard Thierry Henry saying "let him cook" when referring to a manager and instantly hated it well it's really taken off it's seriously naff in my opinion. As bad as it's was a no brainer which I don't like either
Tommy Brown Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) Driving on the M8 west past Harthill. Had to overtake a car doing 50. Glanced across, to see him holding his mobile across his steering wheel. Blasted my horn, never even effing reacted, totally reading or watching his screen. Turned off 1/2 mile further, he never got his speed up, too engrossed. Prick. Edited May 28 by Tommy Brown
Dick Dastardly Posted June 1 Posted June 1 My tablet seems to have died, my phone (which has just been repaired) looks like its dying, both with the same problem. Plug them in to charge and a message come up saying the charging charging port has water in it. You might all get peace for a while!

Stuart Lyon Posted Sunday at 11:56 Posted Sunday at 11:56 Just received an email from British Gas saying my annual cost is increasing by 26.53% (£515) per annum! Between this and my Council Tax increase my gold plated Triple Lock Pension rise has gone.
milky_26 Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago At my work we are doing an emergency preparedness exercise today and I am an observer. Take a guess the team that one of the other observers they have with me supports. Bloody Celtic, I moved to England to get away from them. I've also had that we were unlucky.

Negan Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Bought 300 dollars worth of clothes for my holiday and they were due to arrive two days ago. Still not here and I go on holiday on Friday. Phoned Aus Post and they didn't want to know. Absolute arseholes. The package is even at the sorting office near where I live and they won't even let me come and collect it. Arsehoolessss
