I ordered my eos 350d from ebuyer on tuesday. I got into work at 8 this morning especially for the delivery. At 1pm, a notice was shoved through the letter box stating that we were out DESPITE the fact we have a notice which says "If you can see this notice, it means we are in but maybe unable to hear you knocking" - after checking the cctv, the guy turned up, looked at the notice for about 5 minutes, decided to leave one of the items - a semi hard protective case for the 350d - next door and to take the other 3 items - 350d and 2 x 1GB cf cards - with him.
About half an hour later, the guy next door came round and said "city link have left this for you even though I told him you were in". I was like "oh right cheers" then i found the notice.
I rang the number and was greeted by an automated service asking for the consignment number to be dialled in. I looked on the card - it said "Consignment Number: " - the arse had left it blank.
At this point I went and beat the crap out of my desk for five minutes and then came back to try and find a human number for city link.
I got through eventually and was told it could be redelivered on monday. I told them i needed it today otherwise I would have ordered it for monday. They said if I had been in, i would have it. i told them i was in and that their driver needed sacking or training up in the literacy derpartment.
They rang the driver who said he'd redeliver at some point but wouldn't give a time.
I rang again and was told if it doesnt turn up by 5:30, come down and pick it up from the depot (which incidentally is about half a mile from where I'm sat right now).
I've been looking forward to getting this camera for about 2 months. Now that this has happened, I feel like shooting someone in the face with an anti aircraft gun. Maybe the driver?
End of rant.
