More arrivals yesterday!
In the post was my Wii Dance on Broadway game (shame I did my back in over the weekend so I haven't tried it yet!) and the memory card. Later in the day, the doorbell rang and by the time I hobbled over to answer no one was there until suddenly the delivery guy comes across our front lawn and says he's put a box by our side gate. He took off quite quickly and the box wasn't in the front of the gate, it had been thrown over the gate. Went around the back to get it and it was a massive box and it first it sounded like there was broken glass inside. dh opened it as this package was in his name and I suspect he thought some of my xmas presents were in there so he opened it on his own but apparently it was just the spark scooter and lots of paper. The broken glass sound must have been the screws or whatever in the scooter box. But fancy tossing a huge box like that over a fence!!!!
That is dreadful service, especially to chuck it over the gate and run off that quickly. I hate it when delivery drivers ring the bell and then give you about 5 seconds to answer the door before leaving, sometimes without even leaving a card :eek:
Thankfully I have received everything I ordered in the Black Friday promotion, fairly quickly too! :j
It all seems to be of decent quality and nothing broken / damaged. Maybe I got lucky.0 -
My tablelights and M@fia game were left in a "safe place" by Amazon's useless courier....in the bin in my garden. Gits.0

The Sony blueray player came today - not in an Amazon box but just in the Sony box. dh won't be pleased - can just hear him saying "now the delivery guy will know we have a blueray" . So true, but on the other hand it probably would have been chucked over the fence if it was in an Amazon box.....lol....grrrr0

Ive ordered a few things, some of which have turned up successfully (im soooo pleased with my kipling bag!!) the first item to be dispatched on 27th Nov hasnt turned up yet, and although it says estimated 2nd dec, ive recieved stuff that is estimated even later than this. When i check on the 'track your order' thing, it says its not currently working, but then there is an option to return it. The 59.99 it costs has been taken from my account too.....i didnt think they did this until it was delivered?0

I've received quite a few of my items - no probs with deliveries etc, everything well packed and in great condition - especially pleased with the double sleeping bag - love it. Few more bits still to arrive but all in all very pleased.A home is not a home ..... without a dog0

Nothing arrived yet so far - everything is stuck in the local hdnl depot and has been there for a few days, probably due to all the snow. I keep tracking them but they aren't moving0

My Goldeneye came yesterday, which was surprising! At least I can score off my brother's christmas present now.0

I got all my items except the earrings. I've emailed them about it and basically they've said they sent them but don't know where they are now and can't get hold of any more so are refunding me.
They were going to be a present for my SIL so now I've got to think of something else, and she's reeeaaaalllly hard to buy forI'm a little angelBUT A WHOLE LOTTA DEVIL
