Couperman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have had to take the day off to wait in for a new fridge freezer that we ordered early December on a five day delivery! The delivery company have been gracious enough to offer me an 11 hour delivery slot 7am-6pm. 2 hours down, 9 to go! Anyway as a bit of fun I thought I would do a poll to see when you think it will turn up! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Don't you just hate it when you have to wait around all day for a delivery - especially when it doesn' t turn up. Our village seems to be on the end of everyone's delivery schedules, so if something is going to turn up, it will probably be about 6pm (but you can't go out earlier, just in case - luckily we work from home, so it isn't so much of an issue!) Good luck with your fridge - hope it turns up, or you will have to charge for loss of earnings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Either that, or they'll do what I had recently - I waited in for ages for the delivery one Saturday, then I went ot the front door to get the post... and there was a card saying that they'd tried to deliver but I wasn't in Boy did they get a blasting when I called them to arrange redelivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Which store is it coming from Kev......... and who is delivering it?........ that might help with the guesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think we need more info so we can make an informed decision: * Is there anything else you have to do today, dentist appointment etc that you'll miss waiting in for it? * What time would you normally get home from work? * Have you confirmed that your fridge is actually on today's delivery schedule?

Couperman Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Which store is it coming from Kev......... and who is delivering it?........ that might help with the guesses It was ordered from Tesco Direct but is being delivered by Samsungs logistical contractor from darn sarf! Cathy has already been to Tesco's to complain about the two month '5 day' delivery and has demanded some compensation as we had to make different plans for Christmas (we didn't but they weren't to know that). I did ask the delivery company if they could give me an hours notice of when they were in the area. There is no way it can be done! I did explain several easy ways that it could be and is done, all to no avail. Oh well, at least the ladies get an extra day to play out. Kev.

Run a bath. The minute you sink into the water the doorbell will ring and it will be here! Then you can play with the hens for the rest of the day!

Cinnamon Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I voted not at all, being a cynical sort who has herself wasted many a day waiting for non exsistant delivery vans to show up You know what,I would rather pay a tenner or so & get a guaranteed time delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I voted between 5 and 7pm. It'll be murphy's law that if you have loads to do away from the home, it will turn up right at the end of the day...or not at all! and you are left fuming about the waste of a day, that you could have gone out etc BUT if you quite fancy lounging about all day, it will come early and force you into doing something. Always what happens to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I voted between 3-5, thinking nearer the 5 than the 3. Good luck with the new fridge, I still can't forget our fiasco with JL and our fridge - so in readiness I suggest editing the poll to include the option that it will be delivered but damaged so it will have to go back and you still won't have your new fridge....but that's just me A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If it's not arrived yet, it will turn up as soon as they sit down to their evening meal! It always happens that way for us - or when I've just shut the toilet door . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 That's true Kate - the doorbell always goes when you've got your knickers round your ankles! I once had a very serious phone conversation while on the loo. I didn't dare tinkle in case they cottoned on to where I was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If I'm in the bathroom, I always take the phone with me... my mother has a nack of calling when I'm otherwise engaged It's like sales calls always ringing when you're changing a nappy.

Couperman Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well, here's a suprise...................... It came this morning, I have been otherwise engaged plumbing it in and setting the thing up. It is MASSIVE! probably too big but hey I can gets loads of beer in it! It also has a water dispenser and ice maker; crushed or cubed madam? It even has a Gucci little access flap in the door so you can get to your beer without having to open the door. It's super efficient 'A' rated too! So on the whole I like it! Oh, by the way we were all wrong about the time! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 that's really good news Kev! (sound like my OH - fridges are rated by how much beer they can hold ) Have you left Cathy any space to put food in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
