Waiting for a parcel

Wossi · 29-03-2008, 12:05

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.

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

I've just rang City Link and apparently it's down to be delivered on Monday

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

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

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

On the plus side, I now have lovely sounding 5.1 in my room

SidewinderINC · 30-03-2008, 14:56

wooh

glad you have good sounds!

If you waited till monday you would have been able to claim delivery charges back

Meh, delivery was only £7 something anyway so not too bothered.
