Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
I placed an order over the weekend, but still hadn’t received a dispatch email by 5pm yesterday. I sent them an email last night and what do you know I get a tracking link email this morning at 5am. Am I being impatient or is three days to dispatch an order slow?
It’s not unusual, but depending what it is it may be slower than nornal. If you ordered over the weekend I’d count it as if you’d ordered on Monday. Dispatch on Wednesday isn’t particularly bad, but any later would be annoying as you might not get it by the weekend.
But of course it depends on their shipping estimates too. If it was Mighty Ape I’d be annoyed.
Yeah that’s how I view it, shipped on Monday should be possible and ideal, but Tuesday seems reasonable at the latest. But I did find it weird getting a tracking number so early in the morning. It was from TradeTested so I paid $30+ for shipping, I would say it’ll come in a medium flat pack box. Crossing my fingers to get it before weekend.
Yeah, a bigger site I’d expect to be shipping in 24 hours. It may have been special, just coming out of a long weekend they may have had more orders to get through on Monday than normal so it may have taken longer.
