Pressies no shows

[old smokie]

anybody else having problems with the non delivery of presents you ordered online

my Pendraken goodness has not turned up   neither has other stuff I ordered online for presents for other people   

all I must say were ordered in good time {insert lots of expletives}

I had a book I ordered for my Son-in-Law from an Amazon supplier not turn up. I chased them and they could not find the order. I sent the details last Wednesday and they have not got back to me !!

So as they came round to day I had to give him a print of the front cover and explain. Fortunately I had the main present for him and a couple  of small bits.

Arrgh! That's bobbins! 

[petercooman]

Nope, ordered my stuff on black friday and got it a week later!

[Ithoriel]

Ordered a present for me, ostensibly from my parents, late Tuesday night/ early Wednesday morning. It arrived Friday afternoon, as promised.

Most of the rest is virtual so delivery pretty much instant.

I asked for an early visit from my Urology Consultant.

It didn't happen.

I'll just have to wait till Wednesday.

I hope your consultant sorts you out promptly Jim

Ordered a couple of Box sets from Amazon on Friday, and they arrived Saturday.

Admittedly they did duplicate one of the sets and charged me for it....So that's going to get sent back for  a refund.

Cheers - Phil

Nope, all mine turned up - cackles manically and rubs hands with glee.

So sorry, I didn't spot that post, before, Jim.

Having recently escaped from the urology ward in the 'local' hospital myself, you have my total sympathy.
It sounds as though you're going through far more problems than yours truly.

It now FEELS that I'm starting to 'win', at last.....Thank goodness....And I sincerely hope you do the same, as soon as possible !!!

Very best wishes - Phil

[paulr]

Good to hear you are at least starting to win Phil

Sorry about that Andy, we've had a lot more packages delayed this year for some reason, there's about half a dozen still AWOL somewhere.  One thing that might be worth doing is checking with your local sorting office?  We had one chap who's order went missing and he eventually found it sitting on a shelf in the depot.  They told him that with all of the bad weather in some parts of the UK they weren't even attempting delivery of some parcels, and obviously weren't able to leave the usual note either.  Any packages affected will eventually be delivered I'd assume, but there's always the chance that they get forgotten about until into the new year.

Hi Leon

no need to apologize, not your fault, they should turn up at some point hopefully

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

All my orders arrived promptly - just 2 this month, both from Cavalier and both PSC 15mm, 1 M4A1 Wet, other M3 1/2 Tracks. However the Shermans were in a post office damaged pack envelope and looked like someone (not my postie) had tried to force em into a standard letter box. Fortunately all 5 proved fixable, and there is the off chance of some compo from the Snail at a later date.

I was very lucky.  Pendraken arrived, books from Partizan and Ospreys from Amazon arrived, a major EBay buy arrived. The only miss was my batch of custom painting from Pixie (not his fault - was sent early enough and did arrive yesterday). It got slowed down in US Customs then caught somewhere between here and Baltimore (125 miles) at the 6pm Dec 24 delivery cut-off.
I'm happier than a pig in....! 
Happy New Year, y'all.

I suppose it shows customs are doing their job properly. The only way to get stuff over to the States any quicker nowadays is to use one of the couriers, like FedEx or UPS, as their 'operatives' help speed it through. Sadly that makes it LOTS more expensive.

Happy New Year to you too, Bill !!

Cheers - Phil

Thanks

Apparent US Customs tracks trends or some such. Things that I get from Pendraken and one or two others, which I order on a regular basis, seem to breeze through these days. Pixie's was a plain brown wrapper in which he had carefully packed each unit, still on their sticks, in their own individual roll of soft paper towels and each one of these separated by shredded paper. Heaven only knows what this looked like on X-ray! A collection of improvised fragmentation grenades? 

May you have a low stress and healthy year, Phil!
