I get the automated welcome message, then I get through, I hear background office noises and someone typing nearby, then I hear the receiever being picked up and put down, click. I try again, same thing. And a third time. On the fourth attempt I get a recorded message telling me that the office is now closed.<\/p>\n<p>Then half an hour later the consignment tracking web page is updated to tell me that the driver called at 12:18pm and as no one was there to take delivery left a card.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get this straight &#8211; I&#8217;m waiting in all day from 9am to 5:45pm, no delivery is made, and even if one was attempted no card is left. So this alleged delevery was either made to the wrong address, or not made at all. When I call customer services they can&#8217;t get through to the delivery department and so can&#8217;t do anything. When I call shortly before the close of work I get cut off three times so that customer services don&#8217;t have to speak to me and possibly work a little beyond home time. The web page for tracking my order isn&#8217;t updated until seven hours after the delievery was allegedly attempted.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do. I&#8217;m going to insist on the delivery being made at a time convenient to me &#8211; an evening or weekend, and that I don&#8217;t care if a manager has to delivery it himself in his own car to make that possible. I will inform the company that I bought the computer from that I will never buy anything from them again because of the quality of service from their couriers. In the future I will inform any other company who use these couriers that I won&#8217;t do business with them because of the courier service they use. I will write to the MD of the courier company informing him of the poor service I have received and informing him that I will never use his company and will never buy from any company that uses his company as couriers.<\/p>\n<p>City Link  &#8211; don&#8217;t use them, don&#8217;t buy from anyone who uses them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update to the last post.
