AusGAF 5/5 - Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy, a rental at best

In the spirit of reviews and such, I made my own summary of what happens in Skyrim. Those who frequent Steam chat will have an idea what they're in for, others, not so much.

ooooh, that looks cool. A tad pricey, though I guess that's what you pay.
Most of the theatre I've seen recently has been student productions at the Schonell Theatre at UQ. It kind of varies in quality..
The instances referred to were deliberately cheating a retailer by not telling them about something, or something mail ordered, and claiming it hasn't been been delivered, then getting both, and not returning it.Danoss said:
In those specific instances, no, i haven't, that i can recall. You can call bull shit all you want, but what goes around comes around. I fried a mother board and CPU cause i installed them wrong, the guys at computeralliance said "oh well, at least you admitted it, i'll just RMA the motherboard but you'll have to buy a new CPU".
Amazon delivered me 3 cd's that had their cases cracked once, i pointed it out, they said "just trash them, we'll get new ones delivered, don't bother sending them back".
People working retail deal with enough shit in their lives, i in general, try to not make their lives shittier, and it usually works out well for me.
Anything wrong in my entire life? of course i have.
shanshan, send i-parcel an e-mail and ask them what's up. They finally did contact me later this morning to tell me that they have determined that Aus. Post was wrong and there's just some sort of weird delay in customs. This should all be getting cleared up soon, meaning I'll get the package on Friday or Monday hopefully.shanshan310 said:
I cancelled the replacement from Amazon for the time being due to this information. Yours is probably caught up in the same customs issue as mine is, I'd say. In any case, Aus. Post won't talk to you even if you have the tracking number, i-parcel are the only ones that will get straight information out of them.
Which is what I originally said.giri said:
Jumping down someone's throat because they did something wrong that you wouldn't have done isn't cool man, especially when you're wrong because you didn't read what they said completely before going apeshit on them. I am also aware of the irony here.
To top it off, you're clearly no angel either mate. I'm sure you've done a number of things that I, or a number of other people wouldn't approve of. Should I get riled up and throw my self-important opinions at you telling you how horribly wrong you are and you're a terrible person? Should we try it?
As predicted.Clipper said:
I think I mentioned the same thing happening to me at some point and that it's not unusual at all. If it's not coming via courier, patience is needed.
Australia Post out and out lied to me in my earlier response from them, though. They said they had received the package on the 8th and nothing had happened since then. It took the other company, i-parcel to get them to actually look at what the problem was and attempt to fix it.Danoss said:
I also have no clue why it has taken this package 9 days to clear customs. It was in Australia on the 8th according to both parties. It makes no sense whatsoever and this is not just a typical delay.

Hi guys! Still working hard. Probably choc'd on this one but Halo CE AE is also $40 at Dick Smith!
Yes. I've never had a problem with the Australia Post segment of a shipment before. I've never had anything get lost or delayed for unwarranted lengths of time (until now) and I really like the service. I don't expect to be lied to by a company that I respect and I don't expect to be told that I should expect professional companies to lie to me.Danoss said:
Edit: New twist... Amazon, despite telling me they had cancelled my replacement, just refunded my original order anyway... Time for another e-mail to them
.There's an excellent exhibition coming up at the NLA: http://www.nla.gov.au/exhibitions/handwritten
I was already headed up to Canberra in December; I'll just have to make sure I can squeeze this in.

Here's an insight into AusPost's operations. There are many items that enter AusPost's tracking system, yet they will not be visible on their website. You want to know why? AusPost doesn't want to accept responsibility for these packages.Clipper said:
Seriously, what's going to happen if someone looks at AusPost tracking for something and no results are returned? They'll contact the company who sent it or the original postage service. AusPost doesn't even have to get their hands dirty.

I've had huge amounts of problems with Australia Post. Let's not get into that... Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.Clipper said:
I was pointing out you decided to move the goal posts to just suit your argument, so, shove it, buddy.Danoss said:
I did read it 2 or 3 times in fact, but went back over it later, and interpreted it differently. Maybe you should stop trying to be the source of moral fortitude on post etiquette? i admitted i was wrong.
And like all people, i have things that particularly annoy me. And the assumption that the insurance company is just a secondary bank that you get to make withdrawals from on select occasions, in Australian society, is one of the big ones that set me off.
And you're welcome to tell me i'm wrong, that's entirely your option on a public forum, i don't have to listen to you though. I thought Omi was boasting about ripping off a retailer, and justifying it by saying "well they didn't suffer, insurance did". Which is what annoyed me.
So again, mister saint, stop being a blow hard.
There's absolutely no where on the internet I can vent anymore.

You guys can all ask about work related stuff, solutions to problems at work, job help and what not. I can't.

If I had the time to play it I probably would play it, but I don't. I bought another game from another company, didn't like it that much (still finished it) and then get review games cut off. Least you wouldn't do that.

Vook, Facebook does have lists. Or, you could go to Google+ where all the cool kids hang out

we're the coolest because there's no one else there
I think we're arguing different points here. This is not the same anxiety i had the other night in chat, which was based purely on tracking info. However, I had since had contact from both parties in the shipping process. I contacted Aus. Post directly by e-mail and they told me more information than was available on the tracking site. They said:Danoss said:
That indicates it is lost to me. Please don't tell me I was expected to not believe this clear statement or that it is meant to take 9 days for a package to travel 4.5km (my distance from the mail centre). This morning, i-parcel instead told me:Aus. Post said:
Thus, at least one of these two companies is lying to me and I do expect that it is Aus. Post alone. I was not inferring they were lying from the tracking info, but from the direct e-mail response that was given to me. There is no way the item could be 'in transit' if it hasn't cleared customs.i-parcel said:
