Now the local television stations are running editorials about what the evacuees expect. Evidently the people in the shelters think it's an all expenses paid vacation rather than an emergency shelter that's there to save their lives. I suggest the next hurricane they should just stay home and deal with the consequences. Hi, it seems the evacuees in Shreveport are bitching again.

]]> Comment on DHL has pissed me off. by Old Dude http://www.rants.mentalpowerandthemind.com/business/dhl-has-pissed-me-off/#comment-3 Old Dude Tue, 08 Jan 2008 02:05:11 +0000 http://rants.mentalpowerandthemind.com/dhl-has-pissed-me-off/#comment-3 Well, well, well. DHL finally delivered my first pjg. Of course I have no use for it now. They never did contact me to let me know they'd found it and still haven't apologized. However now I have a different problem. Lol, it just keeps getting worse. At least DHL is out of it now and that's a good thing. So I called Overstock.com to let them know DHL had delivered the pkg. They said they would send me out a return document for UPS. Nice people to deal with. Courteous and efficient. I appreciate that as I don't have a lot of patience. Got an email from them and it had the info in it. Small problem, it assumes I have a printer. It also assumes I'm healthy enough and inclined enough to get a printer and haul the pkg to UPS. I have severe COPD and my GF has rheumatoid arthiritis. So I bought a printer, needed one anyway. Then I had to drive 65 miles round trip to get a damn printer cable, which, btw, cost more than the damn printer did. NP except for the fact that my HD is now failing rapidly and getting booted up is iffy. That''s about all that can go wrong. Maybe tomorrow, with luck, I'll be able to get the printer installed. Funny how things get messed up and seem to never end. I'll be very glad to see the end of this pkg. Lol, BTW, I don't have any pkging tape to affix the label with. Sheesh. Well, well, well.

I got it and it was exactly what I ordered and expected. Lol, my GF loves it too as it makes the bed so much softer and more comfortable. Thanks to Overstock I am now sleeping better and so is my GF. As for DHL. They delivered the freaking pkg. To the right place no less. Don't know how that happened. Once again I kept tracking the pkg. When I saw it was out with the driver for delivery I made sure I could hear the door and then sat and waited. I checked the delivery tracking every hour to see if it had been delivered somewhere yet. Eventually I got the pkg in the late afternoon. Lol, took 2 hours and 31 minutes before I received the email that the pkg was delivered. Heh, I had hoped to use that info to correct the problem quickly but with that long a time between delivery and email that's bnot feasible unless you get your pkg by noon. BTW, they still haven't apologized for their delivering to the wrong place and for making me feel like a thief or implying that I was a thief. Blaming others for your own incompetence is something I won't stand for. Maybe you should quit putting up with it too.
