Moving targets
« on: July 08, 2011, 05:09:13 PM »
I know one should not expect lightning fast delivery for 'Free Postage' from Hong Kong, but I was rather bemused to see today that my order displayed the following:

Estimated delivery*

Between Mon. 11 Jul. and Mon. 18 Jul.

... which would not be an issue - except that on 3 days ago it said Wed. 6 Jul. and Wed. 13 Jul.

It makes me wonder just WHEN this bulldust started - but since I have only taken notes from a week ago, I will wait until the day after the first period I observed and then put in an INR.

If I get queried and they point me to the 'expected delivery' dates, then I'll be ripping into them............



Roll on Thursday, 14th.
