All sets shipping this week - apparently
Posted: Nov 28th 2002, 6:31 am
After weeks of being told that my order was shipping - for definite - and not actually receiving anything, I decided to get proactive rather than just crossing my fingers and hoping. I have had my UPS tracking number for over a week, and it hasn't even been collected from AU yet, so I rang UPS the other day and the rep suggested that this could be a classic case of internet fraud. On Monday I called AU only to get a lousy voicemail message saying that all domestic orders had been shipped and all remaining international orders are going tomorrow (tuesday).
Needless to say, I don't trust Ross Rojeck or AU as far as I could throw them (and boy would I like to try!) so I left a message explaining that I wanted my order shipped that day if possible. I checked my email that night, and nothing. I called AU again ther next day, and another updated voicemail greeted me saying that all remaining international orders will be shipping on Wednesday. I waited - no email or shipping notification. Nothing.
So I call them yet again on Wednesday (bare in mind that these are international calls at international rates) and this time their voicemail has changed again to say that all remaining internation orders are going out 'sometime this week'
I am furious. I ordered my set way back in early March and i'm one of the last one's to ship. I think its disgusting that international orders are being shunned and left at the back of the queue. The thing is though - will they actually ship this week? Or will it spill over into the next week and the week after? My set isn't going to ship now until DECEMBER and it should have originally have been shipped in JUNE!!!
Aagghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
