About time! You were going to cancel it if they didn't have it shipped by today weren't you?

Quite pleased with myself atm! The sun is shining and the birds are chirping in the trees. Going to have some lunch and then bring my gorgeous doggy for a walkies and make the most out of the weather.

Mollikins the sun is shining and the birds are chirping? Where are you?? It's grey, wet and gross here, the birds all gone indoors for a cup of tea!

Yes I told them I was cancelling it at 5pm today if I didn't have the tracking info, here's the emails I sent lol:

*Cranky Acoshla*
Ok, I have given you many chances to send my dress or explain what is going on in the last SIX WEEKS. I said that if I did not receive the dress by today I would cancel my order, you said I would have tracking info yesterday and the dress "might" be here today, clearly this won't happen. It is now 10.00am Irish time, if I do not have working tracking information by 5pm with the certainty that my dress will be here on Monday the 12th of March I am cancelling my order.

I am so disappointed with this service, your customer service is incredibly poor, you told me the dress was shipped 3 weeks ago yet yesterday you said you "just got my dress", so that it was shipped 3 weeks ago was a lie?

Please respond as soon as possible so that I can cancel my order if I need to.

*Seller*
friend, I just contacted post office, you will have dress soon, have a nice day.

*Cranky Acoshla*
Sorry but "soon" isn't enough anymore, that is what I have been told for nearly a month. I was told twice in the last few weeks that you would contact the post office soon, what has been the delay? I don't understand the delay, your page says dresses take 15 days to process, but this has taken nearly 60 days?? Please give me the tracking info now so that I can track it with dhl, who you sent it with yesterday.

- And the next mail had DHL tracking info, woohoo. Bet you anything the dress will be a piece of crap now :rolleyes:

Sunny South East sure!

It's after getting a bit cloudy since I posted though. :rolleyes: Still a lovely day though.

I don't think you were cranky at all Acoshla! You were very reasonable. They obviously don't give a fúck about customer satisfaction! Can't believe they had the cheek to lie to you too. Hope to God it's worth it after all that!

That's ok I don't touch people either

I think from what I've gathered from the next couple of emails that they were doing something myself and my best friend were just giving out about a few days ago! It said it takes 15 days to make a dress, 3-5 days to ship, but obviously the more they order in one go from the factory the cheaper they get them, and they were holding out for more orders before they sent my order, which is understandable, but at least tell someone that!

My old boss used to do this with nursing chair orders, he'd say "Oh it'll be here in 4-6 weeks", then he wouldn't order it til he had a few orders, but wouldn't tell the customers this, would wait til 4-6 weeks later when they called looking for it, and say (or get me to say) "There was a delay in the factory, it'll be another 4-6 weeks" instead of just telling them in the first place that it'd be 8+ weeks.

That's such bad business. When we say we'll deliver in 4-6 weeks we HAVE to otherwise we'll get a bad name and no one will do business with us. Now there have been times when i delivery has been delayed but our staff HAVE to ring to customer and let them know. Putting people on the long finger isnt an option and isnt a way to do business.

Acoshla · 09-03-2012 3:20pm

Oh Kiera I was driven mad taking the flack from customers because he basically lied to them, and these were always expectant couples, ordering chairs for their nurseries, so telling them it'd be another 6 weeks was like telling them it'd be there when the child was 18. He is a horrible man with no sense of customer service, I used to beg to just call customers and give them an update, and he'd always say no, let it go til they ring us looking for it :mad:

Jane, what site was it you said you order your wool from? My mum is housebound at the moment and she wants to start knitting but doesn't know any good sites for ordering supplies!

Acoshla · 09-03-2012 4:37pm

I feel absolutely shockin bad this week. Hope I'm better by Sunday, will be spending the day in a very warm house with my inlaws and their new inlaws, can't be collapsing in front of them or anything. I'm really looking forward to it so don't wanna be miserable or rude due to feeling sh*t. If my heel isn't better my on-my-toes walk will be interesting in a pair of heels too...

It's wet, dull, cold and miserable here today, what happened to the sun?!

Also going to book the restaurant for Mammie's day, myself and my boyfriend are taking my mother and granny out for dinner, can't wait

Going to make chilli and garlic prawns tonight, hope it turns out as nice as the way my boyfriend made them for me on Wednesday

Hope everyone's having a lovely Friday

I get my wool from a little shop in Portlaoise and sometimes from a shop in Athlone. I've seen some wool and stuff on eBay though, I can take a look and I might have an idea if it's reasonably priced or not.

Yep that's the kind of charmer he is, and as my old "side effects" from when he bullied me are seriously flaring up this week I'm really angry with him again and annoyed he is still working treating people like that. An old "friend" added me on fb a few days ago and I saw she is friends with his cousin, who looks freakishly like him, grrrr.

FouxDaFaFa · 09-03-2012 5:21pm

Good to hear you might be getting your dress soon, Acoshla. How exciting!

I'm sure it will be nice. It has to be after all the drama!

Bubblefett · 09-03-2012 5:24pm

Yeay Acoshla, so glad your dress is on the way! looking forawrd to hearing what it's like (also looking forward to the review you write that company after it delivers

)

Cookies look yum Jane!

The boyfriend was great today, I've had a bad week with my anxiety and I've been really depressed. He brought me out for breakfast and a little shopping this morning and I've never smiled so much. He's a good lad, always comes though when I need him.

Now I've Mass Effect 3, 6 pack of pickled onion monster munch and bag of sour wormies.
Pfft, who needs to go out on a Friday night? :cool:

and if you point this out to people you get the "ohh at least I'm doing something" NO YOU'RE NOT! you only get the smug sense of satisfaction from it, the people who really do charity work dont need facebook statuses and youtube shares to validate their work.

Even worse is the people who post their bra colour/the name of a country etc without explaining what their point is to ‘raise awareness’. How is that raising awareness of anything except how much of a plonker you are?

It’s so so nearly the weekend... Must not stare at clock...

How do you know that? How do you know they're not out campaigning for Breast Cancer every week, how do you know their Mother/Sister/Aunt/Friend/Whoever hasn't suffered? How do you know they never do charity work? How do you know?

These people aren't doing any harm by putting up statuses/changing their pic. They may actually be helping! Who's to know that Ann reading Jane's page about Breast Cancer awareness doesn't make Ann actually stop and throw a bit of money into a cancer collection bucket because she remembered that Jane was bleeting on about it on FB! They certainly aren't doing any harm by changing a pic or throwing up a status update. Stop their notifications from filtering through to your page!

I will never understand people giving out about what others post on FB - don't read it, noone forced you to be friends with them! Get on with it, there's a lot worse things in life!

PS - I hope all this doesn't sound harsh Krudler, that's not what I'm trying to achieve here!

What programme do you use to resize them?

Ugh- I'm going to try and practice my typing for the next hour- but I usually only get about ten minutes in before wanting to scream with boredom. I have to cut all my poor fingernails really short first though because they get in my way, aargh.
