How annoying is it to people who have made a complaint to a company about the lack of good service. They get a reply from the company that answers everything else but the reason you complained in the first place?

Today I made a complaint to Amazon because it's taking them three or more days before they dispatch an item. Even when you are paying for delivery. I used the Supersaver which means I get free delivery to get free delivery I also have to wait for 3-5 to get it delivered by post after dispatch. Ok I'm fine with that. Free delivery you wait a bit longer..Not a problem not urgent I don't need the item immediately just a book I wanted.

However every time I order whether I order supersaver or whether I am paying for any other kind of delivery except to receive within 24 hours is taking 3 or more days for Amazon to dispatch. It's not about the postal side of things its not about the waiting it's about the time between when they take the order and process it and when they are dispatching the order.

I think it's wrong that you place an order one day they claim it's in stock but unless you are prepared to pay for overnight delivery they are taking 3 or more days to dispatch the item.

I don't have a problem waiting for goods to come if I did I wouldn't use supersaver as it is.. However when I place an order whether it is with supersaver or whether it's when I've paid for the delivery of the item. I expect that when they process that order they dispatch that order.

What I am finding at this time is they process the order and dispatch usually 3 days later I tend to find this unacceptable after awhile. The only way I get that order processed immediately is if I pay more in delivery than what the item is worth in the first place. What I mean by that is I can have the item delivered the next day but that costs me more than the item I have ordered, That is disgusting.

Yet when I write to them to state I think their dispatching dates are a bit out of order I get a letter skirting the issues and I get why they do supersaver and if I want it sooner I can pay for delivery.

Wake up Amazon this isn't about how long it takes to arrive in the mail. This is about how long it is taking you to process the order and dispatch the item. The last time I paid for my deliveries a few weeks ago you gave an estimated dispatch 3 days after I ordered the item and the book was not dispatched until the day after the estimated dispatch day and arrived 3 days after estimated delivery days taking into account you failed to send the item on the dispatch day.

So anyway sorry for ranting again but I do get sick of companies who do not really listen to the complaint of customers and go around in circles stating can pay for delivery to get it faster and it's no faster at all...

Whoops!!! I'm guessing it helps to leave a download link

Hi all
Hope you've had a great week and a great weekend
Been busy here creating bacon and producing some of our own foods.
Hard work at times but so much fun.
Today I have used bacon we made to make Boston Beans
This dish has turned out great. I am so happy
Well onto other things
I have made a QP today using my own elements and paper I've made as well as some
bits and bobs I found on the internet or CU items I got for free
I hope you enjoy and am able to use
As the extra's I used were in either misc files or didn't have a TOU attached or in the file I do not know where or who they came from so if there is anything at all I have used and it's yours please let me know so I can give credit or if you wish me to remove it so I can remove the item

If you would like this QP please download from here

Look for Garden Daze zip folder

New Freebie-QP

Hi All

Hope every one is having a great week so far.

Things have been humming along here quite nicely.

We started making our own bacon yesterday we have two more days to see how it went.

I made a great sultana cake this morning

WE made some fresh butter tonight and my hubby with a small amount of my help made a lovely fresh tomato soup all be it a little spicy he put a whole chilli into it.

Still it was lovely. We had some fresh handmade homemade barleycorn bread so all in all a great day.

Only problem I've got is I am in agony. My back has been playing up for days I know better than to push myself as much as I have but I love producing our own things.

Any way on to the new freebie today I have created two new QP I have used a couple of freebie kits and Tou's are included within the download

very simple but here are previews

Hi All

I hope your all having a great week.
This week has been a bit of an up and down week for me.

Damien left for Australia Thursday last week and it was a tense 10hours until we new he had managed to find his connecting flight.
He made it to Australia 30 minutes before scheduled and mum and dad were waiting to collect him.
He seems to be having fun over there at this time.

For me it was a bit hard cause first the concern of him travelling alone but then it was cool he's gone for five months Paul and I can have some time to ourselves but then I felt guilty because I felt that way.

Unfortunately have had some serious depression this last week..
However hopefully that will all settle soon.

Anyway I have gotten to creating and I found a fantastic freebie kit by http://scrapwedopascaleanddavid.blogspot.com/ and after getting permission from Pascale I have a QP Freebie for you all

The full kit I have used is called Zip-a-dee-do-dah and you can get it from http://scrapwedopascaleanddavid.blogspot.com/2009/02/freebie-zip-dee-do-dah.html

Check out the site some wonderful freebies you wont be disappointed.
Anyway here is the QP
I have just called it Beautiful Day
I hope you enjoy the qp you can download it from here look for zip folder QuickPagesBeautiful Day
and thanks again to Pascale and David for the beautiful kit and permission to give you the QP
don't forget to leave thanks if downloading the full kit
Hugs to all

Hi all

Hope your having a great weekend for those that are having a bank holiday weekend

enjoy

Been bit quiet here lately.

I've been doing a bit of cooking lately..We had an asian feast yesterday from bbqed asian ribs to satay beef and Thai Chicken...

All made by moi... my husband was in seventh heaven...

Lucky for him I love to cook and love to cook all types of cuisine

We are now looking at sending my son back to Australia for three or so months about September so he can see family over there.

Since moving to the UK he has missed family so we thought we'd send him back for holiday and then give myself and Paul a break as well.

My mum and dad get to see Damien..

Paul and I get much needed time alone and hopefully well every one is happy

Well I've made a Quick page today its the first time I've ever made one so comments are appreciated...
