Just ever so slightly cranky over that one...

Two and a half weeks ago, I ordered a boxset off Amazon's website. Directly from them, not any of the third party sellers. And it still hasn't arrived. I sent them an email on... Thursday, maybe, explaining what had happened - or in this case, not happened - and I got a pretty quick reply telling me to sit tight until the 12th, which is the maximum waiting period according to some arbitrary criterion, and if it still hadn't arrived by then to get back in contact with them and they'd sort it out.

This morning rolls around... and still no boxset through my letterbox. Not even a peep from the Royal Mail telling me they'd tried to unsuccessfully deliver a parcel.

I'm seriously not impressed at the moment. Especially as my grandparents ordered two things off play.com around the same time as my thing from Amazon, which were dispatched separately but both still arrived when they were supposed to.

Grr and Argh is really all I have to say to that.

Silver lining... silver lining...

Going to Southampton tomorrow to meet t_eyla and explodedpen before Christmas stuff happens! It's going to be awesome. Right up to the point where Southampton's been infested with replacement buses and I have a list of Christmas presents to buy while I'm over there. But other than that, it's going to be awesome :D

I'll be taking the netbook with me tomorrow - weirdly I keep having this urge to refer to the netbook as Boris. I have absolutely no idea why, but let's run with it for the moment and see what happens. I'm taking Boris with me to Southampton tomorrow so I can work on a couple of WIPs on the train and make sense of everything I've got left to do this year, both fannish and otherwise. I'm also loading Boris up with music for explodedpen to pick through - and if I'm really lucky I'll remember to take both her and t_eyla's presents with me which, let's face it, is about 70% of the reason tomorrow's happening at all.

Oh, and the promos for David Tennant hosting Never Mind the Buzzcocks next week look frakking EPIC. The BBC ident he's currently starring in, on the other hand, looks frakking weird.

I just had a hyperventilation fit at: "Oh, and the promos for David Tennant hosting Never Mind the Buzzcocks next week"

WHEN?!?!?!?! OH; WHEN????!!!! I NEED THIS! I NEED THIS NAOH!

Uhm, *deep breaths*

Have fun tomorrow!!


Oh, and amazon sucks big time.

[thelibraniniquity]

Next Wednesday. Or whenever the 16th is. I predict the universe will implode ;)

IT WILL! JUST WATCHED THE PREVIEWS! OMG! I am so looking forward to it. Also, I can still not believe I will be in Britain on 25th, but not home so still can't watch it....

[thelibraniniquity]

Oh, for the Christmas special? That's a shame. I think I'm going to be watching, if only to see how RTD decides to wrap everything up. The fewer deus ex machinas there are the better, I think ;)

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

Yes, we get part1 on 25th and part 2 on the 1st Jan. Which I will be able to watch, plane being on time. :D

[thelibraniniquity]

Ooh... I didn't realise that was when part 2 was. Shows how much I've been paying attention to the world lately! And hey, you could always try and work it so you're watching both parts back to back, would probably be better than having a week to overanalyse anything :)

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I might be able to wait until the 1st and just watch it all in one go. We'll see how far I can stretch my patience. :D

[thelibraniniquity]

*thinks back to experience with the two part BSG finale*

Yeah... good luck with that! :D

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

hahaha, yes. exactly. ;)
