    So this item you need.
    They text you to say its coming and you go out.
    They pay low 'wages' and put the onus on drivers to deal with redelivery etc
    You had your delivery within the time spec. The redelivery is extra work for the driver. I suggest you buy from retailers using more costly couriers if you want higher standards.
    Yes really needed it to keep me upright at the weekend to save further injuries :o:o
    Yes as stated :T
    I have absolutely NO idea, but they are certainly not the only ones being ripped off with wages at the moment, yet others can still deliver good manners and a more happier interaction when a customer is trying to suggest a better outcome for all involved!!!!!! :(
    Yes the first one, well done for spotting that, since I stated that? :T
    NO..............I was making it less work for him, saving him money on the phone call AND the petrol, and also the hassle of coming back out, by either catching him up on his round OR visiting house as HE suggested to me! ;););)
    And most certainly I would dearly LOVE to.................IF companies stated who their flamin couriers were going to be huh! :rotfl::rotfl:

    This is the vent board, I have vented, not sure of your problem with my post??? :p

    Well you ordered from a company who are not renowned for customer service(or working conditions for that matter)
    To be delivered by a courier not renowned for its high levels of customer service.
    You were given notification an item was coming,yet chose to go out.
    As for not knowing who delivers. Google who Sport direct use to deliver and Im sure you will get hits. You did the work to find this thread after the fact.
    So Sports direct have another sale,Yodel have a sale (though they trade at a loss on the last figures I saw)
    So who lost out?

    Well you ordered from a company who are not renowned for customer service(or working conditions for that matter) - Never known Sports Direct to be a problem, this isn't our first order as a household??
    To be delivered by a courier not renowned for its high levels of customer service. - As I've already said, but looks like I'll say it again, I had no idea they used Yodel!!!
    You were given notification an item was coming,yet chose to go out. - As already stated, but here it is again, when I've had a text, things have never turned up that quickly - and just in case you've missed it........which *sigh* it looks like you have again, this wasn't the issue??
    As for not knowing who delivers. Google who Sport direct use to deliver and Im sure you will get hits. - As stated above, this wasn't our first order with Sports Direct, but first delivery with Yodel, wouldn't think to check if the company has switched to somebody else in our every time I reorder from a company!

    You did the work to find this thread after the fact. - lmao, if YOU did some work you would see I have been on this site since 2004, think I know my way around by now, and been working on the feedback in all the site changeovers it's had.....took all over around 10 seconds for a search and a number of Yodel vents to come up, dude I can press buttons waahaay, and looks like I've pressed yours :T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    So Sports direct have another sale,Yodel have a sale (though they trade at a loss on the last figures I saw)
    So who lost out?
    Really not sure of your problem here, apart from you just seem to want to vent at people who vent. I don't think you have quite nailed the point to this board, it's about venting about companies and diservice to highlight problems for potential users, not your personal vent board to vent at posters innocently posting correctly.

    Well you say sellers dont list who they use
    Yet there are many threads here on MSE relating to Sports Direct & Yodel
    So with your years of experience.
    Why were you not researched?
    You are just another of the many who post after the fact. Which adds nothing but to provide sales to the companies using cheaper carriers

    "Why was I not researched"??? Again not sure what you are getting at, you need to be a lot more clearer when you are having a go at someone - I'm surprised though, you seem SO practised at jumping on somebody! ;)

    I am just another of the many who post after the fact??? Well THAT'S when it happens you donut........how could you possibly expect somebody to post BEFORE it happens if they don't know it's going to happen or not??? :T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And in turn how on EARTH do you fathom that posting after and not before, adds sales to the companies using cheap carriers.....seriously man, you need to rethink your attacks on posters!!! :p:p:p

    I'm seriously flattered that you are so obsessed with my life and how I manage it, it really IS so nice of you to care so much as to spend so much of your time worrying about me, truly grateful. Seeing as you know so much, I will run every purchase by you if you want, and then you can let me know if it's going to go wrong or not, now that would be helpful instead of having a go at people in hindsight as you seem to do all day. Be proactive dude, not reactive :naughty::D:D

    For now, we will have to leave it there as none of this enthralling to and fro is helping this thread in any way, and at the end of the day, despite your perdantic bickering, THAT is the crux of this site :cool: :money:

    So how would a thread warn someone when people dont read them before ordering?
    A bit less time name calling and inserting smilies may serve you well in future.
    Would it be 'perdantic' to point out the spelling is pedantic?

    As I've said...............yet again I'll repeat...........you are taking this thread off topic.

    And I wouldn't pick up on my spelling with your shocking grammar and punctuation!! ;)
