Don't it make you mad??

blackburn_stevie — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:57:59 GMT

It's about postal services etc. People banging on about Amazon delivery times, Royal Mail. Even things like Google and the like. But at the present time, I don't know just who to complain about. I bought something from Ideal World,the Home Shopping channel on TV, that I thought was a fntastiv buy with a 2-3 day turnaround for post but so far, it's been 5 days and my brain is starting to hate them. My new gizmo is a 13.3" Mac laptop for £475 including postage. I've always liked the Mac laptops, especially these but now my eyes are dragging out of my head.

Maybe tomorrow,

Nope don't bother me.If I am in a real hurry for something I go and buy it in ( drum roll) a shop. If I am looking for a good deal I really don't care if it takes a few days more than stated. You have obviously got something to use in the meantime so forget about it and when it arrives in 2 days you will be really happy!

Was it brand-spanking-new-never-been-out-of-the-box, "re-furbished" or secondhand?

Cee-dee ...... My best guess is that the laptop was from either 2012 or 2013 and fully refurbished to "as new" condition.

Whichever it is, I have no complaints re quality.
