Because if they send it today/this morning, it may arrive tomorrow and will all be fine
If I call this evening and it isnt dispatched yet I will cancel it
The issue is, if i call this evening and it has been dispatched, it might not arrive till Friday/Monday by which time its too late and useless.
Just annoyed they state its a special fast delivery product then it sits in their warehouse for 2/3 days for no reason.
Can you not order it elsewhere and pay for next day delivery rather than winging it with this place?If I call this evening and it isnt dispatched yet I will cancel it

I had a similar discussion with people that worked in dispatch in a company I used to work for. We offered "next day" or "economy 2-3 day" courier based on whatever our courier of the time offered. But some of the despatch people seemed to think that when an order was placed for economy 2-3 day delivery, it meant we didn't need to ship it the same day, sending out in a day or two would do. I gave up explaining that we still needed to despatch the same day, but on the cheaper courier service, otherwise 2-3 days would turn rapidly into 4-5 days.1: the absolutely farcical b
ks around this tumbledrier thing and the godforsaken system being used that does things like give you a potential appointment time window which is a) 13 hours long and b) at least 3 hours longer than the working day of the engineers in question, and therefore c) generates appiniments that were never going to be kept which the unfortunate - and extremely nice - chap manning a call centre many thousands of miles away can neither access meaningful information on, nor alter.
2: The personal care assistant, blessedly only working one 24-hour shift a week, who seems congenitally incapable of using any verb along the lines of 'put', 'do' etc if he can wedge 'pop' into a phrase instead. 20 times a day of "I'll just pop this over here, shall I?". He's a nice lad and otherwise perfectly good at his job but omg

They are turboprops - still not a jet though
Certainly not what the public would call a jet, for sure. So your point does stand of course. But turboprops are jet technology (turboprop rather than turbojet). But I know I'm splitting hairs here and it doesn't alter the Sun's stupidity or your annoyance at it.
They both consist of a gas turbine engine, the only difference is how they move air.
HTH. Agree, the public would not call it a jet but that's because they don't know.
Filthy council scumbags that sit on the bench, eat their cheap sugar laden s
te and then throw their litter on the ground instead of putting it in the bin ten feet away. Which they probably shambled past on their way back to their hovel. I would like to shove their litter down their throats until they are dead.I don't like littering.

Do any of you that work nights notice that you're always right in the middle of the courier's delivery round so your parcels always turn up at noon? Never at the start or the end of their round where you can organise your sleep. Nope, got to be at noon so they completely fk up your sleep pattern. 
It's one of the bizarre traits of working nights, as the first strands of sunlight turn the eastern sky from inky black to pale blue and the songbirds sing the first chords of the dawn chorus, and you realise you've spent the last 12hrs on eBay & now need to find somewhere to store 20 hooverbags, a 2nd hand mountain bike & an antique woodworking vice.k up your sleep pattern. bomb said:
Charlie Stayt on BBC breakfast TV. Aggressive / rude interviewer. Bloody awful.
Actually most of the BBC Breakfast presenters: Stayt is thick as two short planks, Sally Nugent speaks as though she's a care worker talking to the old dears in a care home, Dan Walker spends the entire broadcast laughing through every story, the northern bloke/woman is unintelligible, Mike Bushell's obscure sports are all the fastest growing sport in the country with clubs springing up everywhere - next year they're hoping to gain Olympic status from everything from underwater ice hockey to parachute golf. The only one worth watching is Louise Munchkin, but even she's getting too mumsy now.Trouble is, SWMBO insists we have it on in the mornings.
Hate it when I order something hot from my local chinese takeaway and sometimes it's not even hot! GRRR. ill with man flu so I felt like having singapore rice noodles but the bloody thing wasn't even hot, I don't think they used any chili oil as it wasn't its usual red and it barely had any chillies in it!
