well it didn't come today...
been given the right run around again, promised delivery date after delivery date only to be messed around. I'm generally pretty miffed with the whole thing now...
i was told it was going to be delivered this morning (at least the 3rd time I've been given a delivery day) but it wasn't and again I'm left chasing after it.
to cut a long story short i phoned the courier, who didn't know where it was (but knew it was in the UK somewhere either tam worth or gateshead)….
i managed to chase a few depots and apparently it IS in my local depot. the van driver was phoned and he didn't have it but they had a look and found it in the depot.
anyway, they're going to let me pick it up tomorrow instead of wait till monday.
its a shame the shop or the importer didn't chase this for me. surely this isn't up to me to sort out? if i hadn't phoned the courier depots myself i don't know when it would have turned up.
