Grrrrrr, blooming delivery driver!

[Smowball]

I arranged to have some new garden furniture delivered today, between 12 and 6pm. I specified not before 12 as I wouldnt be home from work. Get a call from them last night saying it would actually be between 1 and 3pm.Great I said. I decide to leave work early just incase and on way home I get a voicemail, left at 10.45am saying they are on the way! get indoors and there is another message on my answerfone at 11.15 saying they came but I wasnt in so they have taken my furniture away!Aaaagggghhhh..........

i have lost count of the number of times that has happened to me.
usually with the gas man or plumber.

so, i understand your frustration.

as they say .... "been there - done that"

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Phone them up and play merry hell. It'll still be on his van

[Smowball]

have rang the mobile number he left and it just rings, and no voicemail option. I just knew this would bloody happen. Why do they ask you for times and then totally ignore them??

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Ring their head office.

[Smowball]

Yay, they have got hold of the driver and he is coming back with my furniture in an hour or so.

I bet he's got sore ears now.

Glad you're getting furniture, smow. This sort of thing winds me up so much. x

wonder if 'they' get probs with deliveries to themselves?

[parkie]

Surely you know by now Smowball? When a company says pm. it means am. And when it says am. it means pm. Unless, of course there is an 'R' in the month or the driver's had an argument with his wife before leaving home then then it can be either pm or am.
Then, of course there could be leaves on the railway line, the sun's too hot etc etc etc.......................

lol parkdale. Anyhoo, furniture is very lovely, and delivery guys even took it right out to the garden for me. Makes a change, things normally get dumped in our hallway!
