My 360 was supposed to be delivered yesterday and said it was out on the van all day. Checked this morning and this had been posted.. If I had taken time of work to wait for this I would have been fuming. What are the chances of them actually delivery it today as it says 'out for delivery' again. How did the system even say it was our for delivery yesterday if they have to scan the barcode to get the status to update? Did they scan it and put it back on the shelf rather than on the van? Delivery companies do my head in sometimes.
Post stuff is a nightmare at the moment; I'm off to pick up a parcel now and I've heard the queues run to about 20 people. I freakin' hate waiting too. #firstworldproblems.
You want to live in a more populated area sonny, Croydon Post Office at any time of year you are likely to have at least 40 people in front of you. At the moment I dread to think what it would be like, the shops were hell at lunchtime. I made a complaint to UPS saying that someone stayed in for the package and it isn't good enough. They have promised that it will be delivered today before 7pm.
Good news: 12 people ahead of me. Bad news: the queue hasn't moved for 5 minutes. Gah. I'm not even collecting something for me.
Nah, they're opening later at the moment. Took about 15 minutes in the end so not bad. And I think it's something for me so that's a bonus.
I forgot to say the 360 did turn up a couple of days ago but I had it delivered to my parents and where I have been ill haven't bothered to go pick it up. Will probably get it on Xmas day now so it will likely not be turned on for a very long time seeing as I will be picking up my new PS3 that day too. Shame it took M$ 6 weeks to get this sorted, could have given me something to do while my PS3 was out of action.
Having a solicitors office signature on the end of your complaints emails works wonders I have found.
I think they've just got better nowadays. And my case was a unique series of screw ups. At least I got some free stuff from it all.
Apparently I was going to get 1 month free XBOX live GOLD but I don't seem to have received an email with the code. It could be in the box I suppose so I will wait until I open it before complaining again.
Picked up my 360 and it is actually my one, I can tell because they didn't repair the spring on the front flap that hides the USB ports. Run it for around 45 minutes and it seems OK.
