I'm really annoyed with Play.com. I ordered some CDs from them for my dad's birthday. I placed the order on the 29th of November, anticipating that with the two items being listed as in stock and "usally dispatched within 24 hours" that they would be there in time for his birthday on the 5th.
For four days, it simply said "Order placed."
Then it switched to "Packing" on Monday.
Packing lasted an entire day.
My dad's birthday came and went. For his birthday present, I was able to tell him that they were now "processing payment."
Today, they are still processing payment.
WHUT. I realise fully that Christmas is coming up, but this is ridiculous! Don't assure me on your awesome delivery times and then screw me around like this. I'm using Amazon in future - they may be more expensive, but at least they don't mess me about like this. >:
In other news, Amy-Bear had tests done yesterday. I haven't called my parents today, so shall tonight to see if there's any news. I don't expect the results, of course, but I just want to hear what the vet has to say.
