I’m sure I’ve mentioned these retards before, but for a delivery company they seem to be lacking something very important. The ability to ******* collect a package.
I’ve had a TFT screen die on me, fortunately well within the 3-year warranty. Acer very kindly gave me a load of reference numbers and a contact number for City Link. After 3 hours I managed to get through to someone who took my details and promised a collection by 5pm on Thursday.
I stayed an hour late at work (that’s 5:30, folks) and nobody turned up. I rang them and the chap there said he’d call me in the morning and reschedule it. I beat him to it and called at 8am on Friday. Another reference number was given and I sat and waited.
At 4:20, I called them back and he gave me the number of the Bradford depot. I called them and the lass on the phone said she’d track down the van driver and ring me back. It’s 7:30pm, I’ve had no phone call and I spent 20 minutes after 5pm ringing numbers where nobody answered.
In short: ******* ****.
I think this may call for another sarky letter. If I can be arsed.

Thanks Dawn.. 🙂
Damo – will do. I’ll post something on here and/or email you. Anyone else in Cambs who reads this is welcome to join us!
Sorry Mosh, can’t get my pissing emails to work. Short story – I am around and available for drinking-related carnage. Let me know closer to the time what is happening.
Wulvern – speaking to my other work colleagues, this is the case. No matter who turns up to deliver/collect stuff (assuming they do) they’re all ****.
Dawn – Col is also free so I think we’ll be having a party. He also has crash space for up to 5 people. Woohoo!
We use couriers at work for collection/delivery of orders and, believe me, they are all ******* *****!
I SHOULD BE FREE for the 11th 😀 SO damo you will get to meet me too….. not sure if that is lucky for you or not.. yet lol but make sure you get a cold beer ready for me 😀
SFG?? I am so sorry about your redundancy I mean, you now have more time to trawl through Moshes’ dull blogs 😉
Why don;t you get your works to sue them for the overtime they’ve had to pay you?
It’ll be delivered in no time!
Damo – they’re meant to be collecting, not delivering. Update on tonight’s blog though. Oh, and let me know if you’re free on Feb 11th as I’ll be in Cambs!
Well – Tempted to do it myself. I tend to find that when you bill people for your time they suddenly learn how to do their job. Again, update this evening!
Sometimes I think it’s probably cheaper to actually take a day off work and pick the damn stuff up yourself. Hey ho – 200 up!
Ana – **** off ya foreign **** 🙂
SFG – dude… 🙁
Damo – they were meant to turn up at my workplace… where they’ve delivered in the past. Frequently.
Landmines in the front garden when the delivery driver arrives?
Used to work for Shitty Link thought they were crap up until I worked for this last bunch of clowns who made me redundant yesterday!
whining norther bastard 🙂
