The Daily Teaser — 5-1-2016

Oh, now that is ridiculous … !

Remember me mentioning, yesterday, that I’ve been waiting for a package from Amazon?

An internal hard drive, so you know: one I’m going to use as a back-up drive, in conjunction with Time Machine.

It was supposed to finally turn up, yesterday.

But didn’t.

Because — get this — because the couriers had lost the package … !

How the HELL did they manage to lose the bloody thing?

I’ve a deeply suspicious side that’s wondering about the competence of the couriers.   One recently had to bang on my door, to ask me to keep hold of a package for my neighbour: he’d posted my delivery, that day, in her letterbox!

I’ve a deeply suspicious part of me wondering if a driver has … light fingers, let’s put it that way.

It could well just be a simple cock-up.

Frankly, I’m blowed if I know!

To give Amazon credit, Amazon are usually pretty good at delivering whatever it is we order, by the date they say will.

And in THIS case … ?   They’ve refunded me the money — as Amazon Gift credit — to enable me to get another.   One that theoretically, will be here between Friday and next Monday.

I’m — understandably — not impressed.

And will only believe it’s going to get here … when it finally turns up.
