strange email

Post by korky »

ordered a game for the nipper, and just got this reply...

"The moment your order came through we've been busy picking and packing, sticking and wrapping to get it sent off to you as fast as we could so that when it arrives at your door it'll bring a smile.

You can now put your feet up, have a cup of your favourite warm beverage and possibly a nice slice of cake whilst Royal Mail carry out the delivery part of the order.

If we could, we would bring the parcel to your door personally and deliver it with your very own GameSeek fanfare, but we do have to rely on Royal Mail....so if they don't show your delivery as much love and care as we would then we are very sorry. Let us know about it and we will do what we can to help. Occasionally things can be delayed or go missing so we would respectfully ask that if there is a problem, you let us know first. Any delays are not down to us."

took them 5 days to post the bugger :left: and now they trying to blame us :arrrghhh

Yes - have known this to happen many, many times (blaming it on the post).

But that email takes the biscuit.

Don't use em again.

nothings stopping them doing this

"but we do have to rely on Royal Mail"

You should send them an equally patronizing and condescending email back telling them that due to their attitude towards RM you will be no longer be ordering from them.

they sound like a half baked company as no self respecting company would blatantly blame a courier company of not delivering before they have even posted the item!!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
