First, let me just say
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

There, I feel better already.

Now, let me explain:

This time i thought i had it in the bag for sure – i ordered a large amount of photos, so got the option of courier service or fastmail – i chose courier, thinking it would be faster because “next day delivery” it said…
My photos should have been delivered on Tuesday afternoon, as my order was place on Monday morning, but nothing happened. I was even willing to give them till Wednesday morning to deliver. But not a whisper. I checked the tracking thingy many times. “Signed out for delivery” on Tuesday morning at 8:30am… but nothing after that.

I finally got a phonecall this morning (thursday) from the courier company saying “we’ll be delivering your photos tomorrow (friday) afternoon between 2 and 5″
I said “No, you won’t. You will be delivering my Monday’s “next day delivery” package, TODAY”
i got mumbles and a “we will call you back directly”

An hour went by and they called to say “we will be delivering your photos TODAY between 2 and 5″ i said that was acceptable (since i can’t make them go back in time…)
Hooray.

I then received another phonecall at 2pm from them, telling me that the courier is “already back at base” and won’t be going out again today.
I said “that’s odd isn’t it, since i’m still waiting on my photos to be delivered…” I was very polite. really i was.

there was silence and my photos would then be delivered this _evening_ between 6pm and 8pm on the courier’s “way home” because he “lives out that way”…

So, they were delivered earlier (i wasn’t here, my mum signed for me) around 6:30pm i think…

I sent an email to the photo people (who are super efficient) and said they should check up on the courier company, because it made them look very bad.

So. That was my day.

how was yours?
