Deliver Me

Waiting all day for a delivery person.  Supposed to be here from between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.  You would think 4 hour window would be sufficient for even the most delivery challenged organization, especially when the delivery was arranged for more than a week in advance.

Au contraire, mon frère.  At 2:30 I called the company.  After putting me on hold they let me know that they “were running a little late”.  No crap – I kind of knew that myself – kind of why I was calling.

She said they were an hour and a half or two hours from delivery if it was OK with us (as if I am going to give them another day to screw up as well) – in other words two to two and half hours late – without calling.  The person on the phone apologized and agreed that they should have called.  I agreed with her but other than that the only solution was to await their convenience.

Finally came – almost exactly two hours late – by the time the delivery was complete (with my help) it was 4:15 PM.  And you know the worse part about it?  This is from a company that we have to work with and who delivers to us monthly.  If it were not, I would have done what I have started doing – voting with my checkbook – going elsewhere.

  • My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
    on a number of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
