Rant hat on.... Amazon eh? Fucking poltroons! "if not received then ownership is strictly down to either courier/amazon or Amazon directly under their transit policy"further and edit: www.mirror.co.uk/money/signing-neighbours-parcel-could-land-10776645 quote "It is important to note from the outset that when you order something from a retailer, your agreement is with the retailer, not with any third party used during the delivery process. In other words, if things go wrong, it’s generally up to the retailer rather than the delivery firm to clear them up. But parcel price comparison site ParcelHero has warned that deliveries which have been signed for by a neighbour present something of a grey area when it comes to consumer rights if there is anything wrong with the delivery". there is more on this site you might wish to observe.

TBF they haven't disputed/argued anything. The smallprint makes it clear in this situation any formal dispute would be firstly with the courier, as they were the point of delivery, and recorded the signature etc. Unless it was specified not to be left with a neighbour then that's BAU for them.
I was more pissed they'd charged me for 'goodwill' replacements, through a simple admin fuckup. Having worked long years in a retail call centre I know simple admin fuckups happen pretty regularly, and look on this with the chilled karmic attitude it deserves... as long as I get my money back that is...

But this is exactly the con. Happened to me with an imaginary prime subscription renewal. And they would have gotten away with it if they hadnt picked an old credit card that had a zero balance that I never use anymore. I only knew cos said credit card company got in touch as I hadn't paid the bill. Utter theiving cunts. This statement in no way relates to the first. |

What bothers me at the moment with Amazon more than usual is that inevitably their "inspired by your shopping trends" suggestions are based on stuff that I've gifted to other people and have therefore nothing to do with my taste or what I'm interested in. Stop showing me a wide choice of unicorn fancy dresses for age 5-6 and the latest book on horoscopes!
I take it that Gongfarmer's recommendations are all made of shocking pink rubber?

Can anyone top that?

Chicken & veg 'Big soup' for lunch with bread things. It was awful, I didn't enjoy it at all. gongfarmer . Why don't you use the old 'polyurethane' trick on No.38? [EDIT] The soup wasn't a response to Felice, but on second thoughts. |

[EDIT] The soup wasn't a response to Felice, but on second thoughts. You'll need to elaborate on your covert techniques. I tried putting 'polyurethane trick' into amazon search, but it only returned me a pack of 36 clown noses, and some football boots.
I'll be getting recommends for them next. FML

But seriously, I would never leave my phone anywhere. You know those toilets that have energy-conserving lights that are programmed only to switch on when they detect movement? Having a mobile phone with a torch function with you is absolutely essential unless you want to find yourself sitting on the throne in the pitch-black dark.

[EDIT] The soup wasn't a response to Felice, but on second thoughts. was it the chunks again, surprised your not used them by now! Polyurethane chicken? tonight's menu, large Roast (Polyurethane) chicken pie and green salad remnants.. oh dear.. Hub-bub, hub-bub-bub - yawp - ORDER ORDER hub-hub-bub-bub-Brexit NO again! EDIT: A change to tonight's menu, A BREXIT of Polyurethane Chlorinated Chicken and mould from under the sink equal to your EEC regulated online order, goes from the farm to the store, from the store to France via Dover, from France to Chunnel Port-side storage, (delayed) then through Eastern Europe back to France and on to sunny England, where it turns up at your doorstep when you're not in (on a working day). |
