customer service?!

customer service? P.R skills? Pffft... It doesnt exist as far as i am concerned. The reason being boils down to the purchase of my new couches. I have rung the company several times to find out what time they will be delivered. I was told i would get a call tuesday to confirm delivery time. The hours passed and i had to call. The receptionist couldnt tell me a time. all she could say was that they would be incontact with me wednesday morning.
Today i arose at 8am to make sure that i wouldnt miss out on a phone call. I pottered around the house doing this and that(in my P.J's) when i looked at the clock to see it flashing 10am. Far out, dont tell me im going to have to call! So i venture outside for a cigarette carrying the portable phone in my hand ready to call the dealer, when i hear the reversing beebs of a truck in my driveway. I see two men heading for my front door. As quick as lightening i bolt to my bed room to get out of my pyjama's. How embarressing! i threw on a sweat top but still had my pj bottoms on. Anyway, i answer the door ropeable. I say to the delivery man, "lucky im home, i never recieved a call to confirm delivery time." all he could respond with was an "ohh, sorry." So i bit my tongue. They bought it in, in bits and pieces. i say "dont tell me that has to be assembled?" "Yes" i am told. i say "Great, thats a mans job, dont you guys do assembling?" " No" one of them reply.To add to my frustration, i go to pay via credit card, and Mr delivery man uses my phone as his mobile hasnt any coverage! As he was organising the payment, i thought he will give me a recipt number. No he didnt! So here we go again. I ring the dealer and get a recipt number. Such poor service! I will never purchase any furnishings from this company ever again!!!
Once they left, i had a task and a half of gnorring through the layers of bubble wrap and tape with a pair of scissors.So much waste, too much packaging. When that was done, i managed to assemble the recliners (by myself!) with ease. Lucky i have a tool kit. the phillips head screwdriver came in very handy. And i have proven to my self that i dont need a man. A handy man that is. LOL

You go girlfriend...

However, had that been me I would have spat acid bile at the lowlife delivery driver. I guarentee that if one were to look in the cab of the truck, one would find several 'stick mags'(porno mags to the lay person)!!!! I have been told, by a reliable source, that delivery drivers will 'use' the porno's while they wait for jobs. they are not called stick mags for nothing ;)
