As another email drops into my inbox beginning with the lines ‘we are really sorry but….’ I was wondering what else folks are still waiting for that they ordered and is currently as elusive in its delivery date as a Bojo promise?
Sure, the world has been upside down and global shortages are commonplace but nonetheless frustration is beginning to creep in with me now.
New bike ordered in April was due this Friday and now its next Friday, it was meant to be last Wednesday.
In the same week I ordered a fancy parasol thingy for the garden, originally due in early June its now due in late August. Should come in handy for the North East winter.
I bought a defib for a local junior football club, happened to be the week before Eriksson of Denmark had his arrest during the Euro football. Looks like I’ve joined a helluva queue now. It was available the following week and they were keen to know I would be home for the courier, now it has no delivery date at all just a weekly email full of apologies and global shortages.
All in thats £3.3k and the bike has only had a deposit down on it. I guess the parasol when it arrives won’t see that much use, but the defib I really wanted to get fitted on the clubhouse wall weeks ago. Looks like the bike has a chance of arriving for my birthday in late October.
So what are you waiting for and who’s been waiting the longest?
