Sitting in my office get an email saying your parcel has just been delivered 4.15pm. WTF the yard and the warehouse are covered by ctv and no fekker came anywhere near.
Immediate phone call and web chat gets nowhere. Are all their drivers stupid/thieves/con artists?
Knew what the parcel was, and needed the parts so not to let an important customer down.
Thank you Yodel |
Lately things have got worse with regard to deliveries. I've had a few issues. The ones that send you a text message with a delivery slot and who take a photo of the package when they drop it off are great (DPD, etc.) but everyone else seems to be well under par. |

Ebay and other online sellers are letting me down a lot these days and are holding up progress on my bike project. The point of a project bike is that I have something to do other than Youtube on a rainy Saturday, so it feels like these people are $%^ing up my life right now.
In one case, I've been looking forward to my first ever ball pein hammer, so I can have a go at making a mudguard from sheet metal. It never arrived and no tracking info was given, so I opened an Ebay dispute, asking for the item. That was another mistake - I should have immediately asked for a refund. The seller ignores me completely and, no doubt, Ebay will step in in a few days.
In another case, I've been waiting for a rear tyre for 2 weeks. I get that it's an obsolete size, and that the ad stated they would need 10 days to import it. But the seller (not Ebay) refuses to give me an ETA. These people don't care if I have a schedule - they just put up their ad with an attractive price and then, it seems, dial around for suppliers to procure the item they never stocked in the first place.
Engine is ready to go back in the frame, I'm about ready to start fabricating a new seat from fibreglass, and choose a new handlebar and headlight, etc. But no, it has to just sit there under a rain cover. |

Ebay dispute opnened on 30/09/2020, and it says: "Please be patient - you should hear back from the seller soon
If you don't hear back or can't sort something out with the seller, you can ask us to step in beginning Oct. 6."
I suppose I'll just have to wait. I'll probably head down to a real shop in the coming week and buy a hammer there, and get the seller to refund me on 06/10/2020.
What I suspect happened in this case was that the seller, an Ebay powerseller, probably couldn't procure the item (from China) at the price he'd advertised, so he decided to just ignore the issue because a certain % of negative reviews doesn't mean much.
It was a 40oz hickory-handled ball pein hammer for ÂŁ7.20 including postage. Too good to be true, perhaps. However, for an amateur like me, it's the sort of ad to get me excited, as getting your toes wet for just ÂŁ7.20 is interesting. Only ÂŁ7.20 down the drain, if it turns out it's not so easy.
Oh well, lessons learned on my side. |

I decided to have a duvet day.
When I woke up it was pissing down, so the cats and I stayed in bed.
In a vest and knickers, in bed with the laptop and a world of entertainment at my fingertips.
All day.
Sounds like a dream day, right?
Well it was, till about mid afternoon when I woke up from a snooze in a proper bad funk.
How do people who are really depressed stay in bed all the time?
It drives me to even lower points than usual.
I have to get up, and even if all I do is be out in the living room or the kitchen, its better than being in bed.
It's nice to get in it after a shitty day, or to be in it when everybody else is getting up and going to work, but its not so great when you stay in it all day.
How strange
I'm better now, mind. Got up and made a bit of dinner and a spliff.

It's not often that you can envy a visit to the dentist.
I've had a hole in my tooth since March but am not in extreme agony so have to put up with it. |
I'm more pissed that they had to remove it (as it wasn't giving any grief), because I had half the tooth next to it fall out in 2010, when I eventually got fed up with the grief of hot, cold, crunchy, and bitty stuff aggravating it, it was bodge filled by an NHS butcher four years later in 2014. That filling fell out two years ago and the tooth now needs a crown, as does it's neighbour which has been doing all the hard work and has fractures in the cuspids.
My deposit for a new home will have been swallowed by three crowns (just had one done on another bkoen tooth), a wisdom tooth removal, regular check up and two cleaning sessions - we are not amused!! ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

That's just what cats do.
