The order that we placed weeks ago(26th September). Was supposed to be delivered today. We knew it was going to be this longer delay. They did explain that they were busy and having the delivery lorry serviced. Fair enough. These things happen.
Then last week we got a phone call asking if we were desperate for the delivery? (no we order stuff just for fun!) Oddly enough we said yes we would actually like the order delivered when they said they’re going to. The conversation went on and Bob arrange to drive 7 miles to the end of our road and meet the lorry and collect the delivery from there. So the driver didn’t have to do an extra 14 miles just for one relatively small, but heavy delivery. The driver was going to phone Bob from the boat.
Bob got up early this morning in case the lorry was on the first boat. Bob has just phoned the supplier as boat number 3 of the morning should be docking round about now and still no phone call from the driver. Our order isn’t on the lorry ! They said it’ll be next week . Bob had a sense of humour loss at that point. Because next week isn’t the next time the lorry is over here. It’s over 2 or 3 times a week. I’m less than happy. Yet again our build is being held up by incompetents .
