On Monday we ordered a small converter for AV to HDMI and it was scheduled for delivery Friday, Correos Express were given the parcel in Madrid on Tuesday morning and said via an email that they would be here Thursday. Guess what!
After a chat session with Amazon late Thursday afternoon they passed on my suggestion that if it wasn't delivered when promised they shouldn't send out their emails. The Correos supervisor agreed and said it would be here on Friday as scheduled.
Lunchtime Friday I received the phone call but was in the garden (heard the ringing through the window) by the time I got there it had stopped and a text came in immediately saying reschedule - the lazy git didn't even try to deliver, just cancelled it when I didn't answer the phone.
So I rang him back, three times until he answered.. I told him I was at home, he was at Mora Oil (surprise surprise) and could I collect it from there? So..... as I'd been busy in the garden and fancied a little drink, and it was POETS day and I was in a sort of good mood I said I'd nip down later for it.
There are a few drivers in the area for CX and this one is very pleasant, knows where I live (and he's in my phone) but a 16km detour does set him back a bit and he tries to avoid driving here as much as possible but all in all if I am able to pick it up I will, and it's a good excuse for 1/2 an hour off. 🤣😎
p.s. One time he rang me up, said I'm at Mora Oil can you collect? I said NO, you can deliver! He looked very dejected as I watched him across the car park and waved, laughing hahaha
