SPAM random annoying things

[caLLous]

Yeah I tend to find I can forgive Amazon for the occasional fuck-ups like this but the smaller guys should really be getting it more right. They need to to be able to compete.

I ordered something form a smallish guy earlier in the year then I changed my mind the next day and sent them an email saying I wanted to order something else. So they said place the order and we will cancel/refund the old one so I did just that. I get an email a few days later saying that my order has been despatched, but the order number was that of the first order not the second so I said "hang on a minute, what?" and they said... that they had changed the order numbers around. "Buh? but ok". It sounded like it was something they had consciously done so I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt. One week later, guess which order turned up?

If amazon DO fuck anything up, they're always well up for a refund or a prime extension or whatever. I've had 3 complaints in the past 5+ years and each has been a grovelling apology + freebies. Excellent customer service. There's no point getting angry when things go wrong, we're all human, it's the response that sets them apart.

I wouldn't call O2 one of the "smaller guys".

I'm probably out of date with my O2 knowledge but in the past phone orders were dealt with by O2's retail arm and e-commerce was separate (which was really annoying because they didn't talk to each other because of the way the retail franchise was set up). What it meant was that phone orders tended to be fulfilled from your local shop but e-commerce came from the centre. Now as I said, my knowledge is out of date (phone and e-com should come from the same warehouse and stock lookup in a sane universe), but if its still like that then that would explain the issue with an out of stock phone order; its pulling info from a single store which could easily go out of stock.

Yup, they're quick to sort it out once they realise there's a problem. It was a motherboard (from Amazon, not another seller) and I was waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and then I called and they said it was out of stock so they sold me an alternate mobo and threw in next day delivery for nowt.

And Gaff, I must've skimmed over the O2 part in Raven's post. They're most certainly not one of the smaller guys.

I have since been told that it will definitely be with me tomorrow.

It's not so much the delay I am annoyed about, it will come when it comes. It's just that I am having it delivered to work so would like to keep an eye out for it, they should be specific about when it is getting delivered, I don't really want £500 of phone sat around in the warehouse for long. Especially when as previously mentioned they only really have a handful of different items, they should be able to manage their stock properly.

Got a printer from Amazon and the price reduced by £20 between me ordering it and it being delivered

They refunded the £20 difference which was good of them as i hadn't actually complained about it, as i didnt even realise, they brought it to my attention

Yes they do that quite often but don't when the price goes up....which is nice!

I'm trying to study and my neighbors have decided to have really noisy sex. I actually first thought they were having a spectacular argument. Maybe they were, who knows. I'm countering them by playing INNI by Sigur Rós really loudly.

While furiously masturbating?

Cats that don't understand who's boss. every time I turn around one of them is in my seat.

 

[caLLous]

Just be thankful they're not behind it, drilling.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yei! Pay came. Though they paid the wrong amount(no holday pay etc). Other boot etc

 

[Billargh]

Old people I've got from work on Facebook posting such inane drivel like this:



I don't mean to speak bad of them, but honestly, who gives a flying fuck?

 

[old.user4556]

Brace yourself, patronising forumites saying "you do know you can block / unsubscribe from / defriend them don't you?" are coming.

But yes, Facebookers gonna Facebook. I deactivated my account back in March, feels brilliant.

 

[Raven]

I cleared mine right out as my sister sticks photos and stuff on and its easier than asking her to email them. Tried organising an event through there but most of my "real life" friends either aren't on there or never check it, its becoming more and more pointless.

 

[old.user4556]

Yeah, I manually binned every status update and most of my photos. I also found that people who I actually knew "real life" never used it / updated it and the rest spammed it with baby photos, pictures of food and banal updates about going to the gym / trains being late / or how amazing their husbands / boyfriends were even though in one particular case he was fucking someone else and got caught.

I could've put money on you being the first to post a response like that. Normally I wouldn't for fear of a reply like that, but that has to be the most dull update I've seen in my entire life.

Virgin upgraded our internet from 50mb to 100mb. It's fucking slower than it was before. We used to get bang on 50mb all the time. Just did a test and it's 35mb now.

Girls posting - "Getting my nails done"

I have a "friend" on FB(dunno how we're connected), and she seriously posts a new picture of her nails every week. She works at a nail shop and no one EVER comments or likes the photos or updates. Dunno why she bothers. She looks a bit like Julia Bond, which is why I've never deleted her

 

[Raven]

OMG we know the same people! Lets have sex!

Mines a bloater and her family seem to be travellers but I have known her since I was 4 so can't unfriend her

I once had one that posted 200+ photos of her babies ultrascan, I'm sure it was a minute or few clip with a still taken every second. My fucking god, the mind boggles that they think anyone would care about more than one grainy, low quality piece of shit photo with no features what so ever on it.

Just gonna come out clean now. I was at the first scan with my girlfriend yesterday. It is a moment filled with joy and that " one grainy, low quality piece of shit photo with no features what so ever on it" is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. I didn't put it on Facebook as I don't think 95% of the people on my Facebook would care and I'd rather tell people face to face that I'll be a father come January. I understand why she was happy and felt like sharing it(altho 200+ photos is a bit over the top).

To those from FH who has me on FB: Don't go posting stuff on my wall etc. We haven't told everybody yet and we don't want to put it on Facebook just yet.

 

[TdC]

I have some mates who block people from posting random shit to their pages. I also have people friends listed who never ever ever speak. Both annoy me.
