Client.

 

The most demanding, least value one I have

 

Probably costs me money everytime I pick up the phone and it's him on the other end.

 

After the absolute sh*t month I've had him calling today was the last straw.

 

Cut him off mid sentence - told him to bring his account up to date, slammed down the phone and emailed him a current statement.

 

Am still furious.

 

Plus - my car part deliveries still haven't turned up :( (no ETA - aren't overdue, but I keep looking for the delivery truck)

Rims are on the car.

 

I'm standing at the gate during daylight hours waiting for the brakes and new rubber

He said they went out Monday but who really knows.... I've sent another message!!

 

It's all good - am sure they'll turn up in due course - I do reserve the right to eagerly await them and whinge every 10 mins they're not at the door though :P

Fscking part deliveries.

 

I'm a patient person, but don't fscking promise what you won't deliver and leave it to the client to chase up.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Brakes

 

Brakes ordered on 10/08 (over 2 weeks ago) - was quite content and happy to wait for delivery - was expecting a fortnight minimum.

"out by end of week" (end of week being 12/08)

 

Next tues - after J@t had to chase them up

"sorry, been a delay - hopefully out by friday" (friday being the 19/08)

 

J@t chasing up on the Friday - only got response Monday

"Sorry - delayed - being shipped today" (Monday 22/08)

 

J@t chasing them again got a response yesterday

"sorry - we've been flat out - aiming to ship these tomorrow" (being today)

 

Thanks heaps J@t for tee'ing up the deal and chasing up for me - this is in no way a reflection of himself, nor the way he operates - he's got nothing but gratitude from me.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyres

 

Order and paid over the phone on 19/08

"No probs - we'll get these out today and email you an invoice" (Friday)

 

Tues - no email, no tyres

"I'll email again - will send tracking info"

 

Weds - asked them to send to a different email with tracking details - get invoice, but no tracking

 

Today - asked about delivery

"Yeah - there was a delay - they went out the night before last (24/08)"

Ask for tracking number

Thu 25/08/2016 4:29  PICKUP (that's last night)

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As I said - I'm a patient person but fsck me

I totally understand delays - appreciate that things don't always go as planned, but it shouldn't be up to the customer to be the one making contact when your stated ETA's can't be fulfilled by yourself.

 

"They'll be there when they get there" is a totally acceptable ETA (for me) if that's the way it has to be.

 

Once you give a timeframe people start planning around it - car was booked in for a service and work that coincided with the ETA for the brakes (well after the first time for expected delivery) to get everything done at once. A simple message from the supplier that they weren't available when expected would have saved a hell of a lot of stuffing around and cost.
