Lazy Courier
“We deliver if and only if you come to collect.”
So this morning I got woken up by a random call on my mobile. Apparently it was the courier for one of the textbooks I ordered. Enjoy this dialog:
Me: Hello
Courier: I have a package for you. Do you have time to pick it up, today.
Me: Huh? What is it?
Courier: Something from overseas educational books company.
Me: Ah right, so are you here now?
Courier: No I am not there yet.
Me: You have my address right?
Courier: Yes, but it’s too far to go to your dorm. What time do you have free today?
Me: Err…I won’t be available til class finishes after 5pm.
Courier: Ok, meet outside the east gate about 5pm then. I’ll contact you between 5-6pm.
Me: Ok
Was still sleeping when I had this convo, so umm….but that’s the main idea. This courier doesn’t deliver to the dorm because it’s too far? WTF, next will be “Sorry this package is too heavy for me to carry, come to collect it from the depot.” Well shifty Chinese courier ftl.
So been the nice person that I am, I made this 25min trek to the main gate. This dude’s there with his bicycle, he has a bike damnit, and gives me my package. The package is rather thin for a book…so open it and guess what’s inside? It’s the freakin receipt for the books I bought…T_T. I just felt so stupid at that moment, basically I walked across the uni to fetch a piece of useless paper that this courier dude with a bike can’t be bothered to deliver to my dorm? Epic GG, felt like rage quiting big time.
But thankfully there was a kfc near the main gate, felt much better after dinner. (Almost wanted to title this one “KFC does wonders too…=P) Took a stroll around the surrounding area and eventually wandered back into the dorm.
GG KFC?…>_<
Out
EDIT: I got my textbook delivered today, to my dorm…^_^
