Grr Arggh Rant aka Where’s My Sodding Calendar????

Well, last month I ordered a calendar through snapfish.  Actually it was a rather good deal at the time as it was 40% off.  As ever, looking to save money I opted to have my order delivered to my local Kmart ($2.95 rather than $8ish for home delivery).  The estimated delivery date was 23/01, which was a week or so but I figured hey, that’s ok.  Come 23/01 I go into the store and they say it hasn’t arrived yet.  In the last 2 weeks I have been into the store 6 times enquiring about my calendar, and each time they say they are still waiting for it from snapfish!  Finally on Saturday I suspected something to be amiss and contacted snapfish who advise that my calendar was successfully delivered on 18/01!!!  Grr rant grr arrrgh GRRRRR.  So I ring up Kmart (I’m not wasting time going in if I’m not already in passing) and they say as usual that snapfish is the problem, then I said oh it was signed for by Mr X,Y,Z and they say sheepishly, “well we have had a pallet go missing somewhere in store”.  They said they would go look for my calendar AGAIN.  20 mins later they phoned to say it must be on that missing pallet.  I said, so how will I get MY CALENDAR??? They said I can wait till it turns up.  What??  I have already waited, the lost pallet has been missing 3 weeks already and my calendar has  6 wasted weeks on it.  I said that’s not good enough, I paid for a calendar so I want a calendar (well, it wasn’t phrased quite as politely as that… but you can guess).  A bit of “can-whoop-a**ing” later and I can come in and print out a new calendar on free credit in store with 1hr print.  So thankfully this afternoon I finally have my lovely calendar in pride of place on my wall, already scrawled with ink with all the events coming up (I’ve felt really lost without one this year).
