View Full Version : Waiting for a parcel
Anyone else hate waiting for a parcel to be delivered? I've been sitting here waiting since about 9.00 for City Link to turn up and deliver me some new speakers. They are normally here by about 10.30 and it's now 11.00. I can't do anything until they turn up as the stuff I need to do involves the speakers :(
I hate waiting, just hope they actually turn up today.

;D
Worst thing is when you wait hours then have to pop out for Milk or to walk the dog, All the time (about 2secs) you are out you know they are going to come & sure enough when you get back the card is on the matt :angry:
I've just rang City Link and apparently it's down to be delivered on Monday :angry: explained to them that I had paid for a Saturday delivery with Amazon, so they are sending someone out with it for me, would have gone to pick it up but they close in 20 minutes and I don't want to risk trying to get there in time
Not happy with Amazon now, going to send a complaint in as I paid for an express delivery and it wasn't going to be delivered express :angry:

Kudos for CityLink for sending somebody even though it's not down as saturday delivery!
I'm losing time in which I can go down to bluewater because my asda shopping will get delivered this afternoon and the longer I sit here typing this post the less time I have... AAARGH!
Tell me about it ! Last parcel i took me 3 weeks to get.
Thou i had a nice surprise this morning when my HD-DVD player turned up from Parcel Force. I even chose Free Delivery at amazon and this Saturday Delivery would've been like £20 ! He did come at about 8am thou, I almost missed it, was sleeping at the time. My bed hair must've been scary !
Our postmen/couriers must hate coming here, they usually get Faysh in his pants avec bed head!
Not a pretty sight.
The worst bit is needing the bog. Then sitting down, prepared to snapped it off the moment the doorbell rings ;D
Should have updated this. Turned up at 12.45 yesterday and on the box it says "Satuday 12.00" The lazy scrotes at City Link weren't going to deliver it even though it said Saturday on their paperwork :angry: On the plus side, I now have lovely sounding 5.1 in my room :D

wooh :D glad you have good sounds!
If you waited till monday you would have been able to claim delivery charges back :p
Meh, delivery was only £7 something anyway so not too bothered.

bloody bargain for saturday delivery!
That's very cheap for a Saturday delivery, but don't forget to factor in the phone call to City Link ;)

Well it worked out not too bad as I rang the 08700 number first who then gave me the direct number for the local depot :D which I have now lost :(
