Stupid Online Textbook Ordering

[KimmyCharmeleon]

I ordered two textbooks on the 2nd of December last year. They are supposed to be sent in 5 days. A lady at my university's bookshop told me that there were some in stock online. So I thought maybe they'd come.

Then I emailed them late December and the guy replied that they received one of them, and were waiting for the other one to arrive at the publisher's warehouse by early January.
I expect after early January that it'd be here but it's still not!!

How long can it fucking take to ship out a couple of fucking books, it's been two months already.
I don't know what else to do. A couple of days ago I sent an email to the bookshop and the online ordering guy but still no replies yet :mad

[KimmyCharmeleon]

Yeah, I have one via email which I was sent with the number and everything.

[KimmyCharmeleon]

None of them have replied to my latest emails yet. The last time I emailed them and got a response was late December

I was gunna ring the bookshop but I'm not sure if they're open today. They were open from January 4th-28th, but uni doesn't start until February 28. Hmm...I don't think there's a number...I'll have another look.

:homo:

I always wonder why people go back and forth with e-mails when a quick phone call will do the job and give you (in most cases) an instant answer.

I always laugh at people who e-mail me accommodation requests...go back and forward asking questions...then, they finally e-mail to say "book it"...and its no longer available.:willy_nilly:

So far there's only the bookshop numbers. I guess I could call one but I think they might not answer.

So I rang one of the bookshops (of my home campus) and the lady said they usually don't get their books in for the semester until late January anyway. Maybe mine is bound to come out soon along with theirs. She said it would only take ages if the books weren't in stock, so I guess they weren't in stock.
I'm also just worried cause I had a sneaky feeling it might be delivered to the wrong address. Sometimes our address gets mixed up with the one down the road because as our road goes around this bend it turns into a different street (kinda stupid).

Finally got a reply from the guy to my email I sent ages ago. One of the books was discontinued, so they are replacing it with another one (that I now need as well) so it's all going to work out. It will be here on Monday too Finally :willy_nilly:
