We can't deliver a game?

Post by yeomansc »

Unbelievable.... Just got a confirmation despatch for my Asda Pre-Order for the latest edition of Black Ops...

My delivery will be done by Yodel. Seriously? We can't compete shoving a dvd case through a letterbox we're probably going to anyway? Sad...

It'll need a signature, so it's not just a matter of shoving it through.

but yodel will just shove it through your letter box regardless of signature, or will just leave it on your doorstep.

My latest experience with YodHell wasn't for a delivery but a collection - Saturday, 1045 gets a card through the front door, no bell, no knock - no one available card left at 1105 according to the dead leg who left it! So in addition to all their other attributes they also have a time machine. :shock:

I think Tesco use Yodel as well, ordered something the other day via click and collect the tracking number took me to a yodel tracking page.

You must feel really strong about this to make it your first post since you joined on 2009!!

But back to the game. I dont think we will be disappointed. Getting mine Monday night at midnight at my local supermarket. My step son got his on Saturday my Amazon. And yes delivered by ourselves.
