Gadgetshop Month of Madness

Ok, I am VERY annoyed. I ordered the Pro Golf Game yesterday, and it arrived today. Great, fantastic speedy delivery. That's not why I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed because it arrived this morning, unwrapped, the box plain for all to see, witha silly little delivery sticker on it!! And my husband had to accept the package as I'd already left for work - and guess who it was going to be for?! There goes my surprise present for him!!!! Argh!!

It's a bigish package, and I can understand why it was not wrapped up (afterall, you wouldn't wrap up a washing machine would you!! lol) but SURELY its obvious that this is the type of item you don't buy as a necessity, but as a GIFT for someone?? So covering up what it is wouldn't have hurt? Would it??

<sigh>

It makes me so cross when these companies send items that are obviously going to be gifts, without wrapping them, covered in labels.

I had the same thing happen from IWOOT last year with an aeroplane. I wouldnt have cared if it was wrapped in a bin bag to be honest, but it totally ruined it for me so I wrote them a sarcastic email, 1/2 an hour later had the company director call me up and offer to send me out a suprise, fully wrapped gift for the other half. Was 2 infra red shoot down planes which we had more fun with than the original plane which wouldnt hold its battery charge after one go!

Good for you!! I've emailed Gadget Shop, but have a feeling I wasn't sarcastic enough! lol Will let you know if they reply at all.

OH NO! :mad: I hope I am at home when my delivery comes. My neighbours are nosey enough when they accept packages for me without even having the pleasure to see exactly what I ordered!

While you're there also check out the cube world series 1 & 3 set of two reduced to £4.99 from £19.99

tomorrow's looks like it could be this 'instant aquarium' dvd:

or if not, then the fireplace version!

The fireplace DVD silhouette doesn't match, so it is probably the aquarium one.

Well I've had a reply. Very polite, and very apologetic, but no freebie. lol Can't complain really though. Hey ho.
