So I decide to treat myself to an i-pod since my last MP3 player went kaput (I got a good year and a half out of it, I'm not too fussed) and my brother ordered one from some website. But then he spied one somewhere else for about 40 quid cheaper, so he cancelled the order. Only the monkeys sent it out anyway.
So my brother says to me
"They'll be delivering it soon, don't accept it, tell them to take it back."
"OK" says I.
"Oh, and I'm also expecting some speakers, so you'll have to tell if the box being delivered is the i-pod or the speakers."
"OK..." says I. After all, speakers would come in a larger box than an i-pod, right?
So he tells my dad the same thing, and a delivery comes the next day. The box is way too big to be an i-pod, it's bigger than a shoe box. So my dad signs for it, opens it up... there's a small box inside the big box. Muuuuuuuuuhh.... I'm talking a box small enough for a mobile phone practically, inside a box big enough for a small European car. Why are they doing this to me?
So my brother is told to send the box back, but it needs to go back a special way, and we need some thingy from them to put on the box to make sure it goes back the right way. They say they'll send it. It never comes. They say they'll email it. It never comes. So this i-pod has been sat in my brother's room, still in the other box, for about a week, probably longer. I can't touch it. And I can't get the other, cheaper one, until this one goes back and my brother is refunded. Every time my brother calls or emails them, they say they're on it, and we'll get whatever it is they're going to send the next day. And that day never comes. Morons, every last one of them.

No.
happy now?
Ah, just today it's been sent off, so I guess my brother received what they were going on about. About bloody time.
that may or may not be factually correct
Suck up
how long has it been, coz many places are McLame and take 21 days to do stuff - unlike SR!
The callous Bar-Stewards!
Which shop is this place, ah must be frustrated.
