OT, very OT, a RANT and RAVE, grrrrrrrrrrr

Noreen

You are allowed to rant all you want.

I hate DHL shipping and DH will not use them at all. Too many problems
with them here as well.

Hopefully you will get your delivery soon.

I am SO ticked off at DHL, the USPS and the VitaminShoppe!
I placed an order at the Vitamin shoppe last monday, the 26th, early
in the day, which 'they' claim for one that I placed on the 27th.
They FINALLY acknowledged my order on the 29th, stating that it had
been shipped on the 28th.
They gave me a tracking number, but their email said, if your number
starts with an 8, it was shipped via DHL. Mine started with a 9, so I
questioned that. Fast forward to their response, their mistake, even
tho mine starts with a 9, it WAS shipped DHL.
Okay, so I go to DHL to track my package. No info available! I hit
their contact us button to inquire. I e v e n t u a l l y got a
response that it had gotten to their facility in Ohio, and that they
had FARMED IT OUT TO THE USPS! They claimed the USPS would deliver it
on or before July 3. The mail came today, NO PACKAGE. Now it won't
come until the 5th, IF then, dammit!
I have never heard of a package from NJ to TN taking this long, nor
have I ever heard of a shipper such as DHL, UPS, or FedEx FARMING
their deliveries OUT to the USPS!
I've contacted my CC card company, and told them to rescind the
payment to The Vitamin Shoppe. (heeeeeheeee, that's the ONLY gleeful
thing out of this entire fiasco!)
Thing is, I was a Vitamin Shoppe customer years ago, and left them
last time for precisely the same abhorrant customer treatment. .....
yeesh, give a company a second chance, and manage to FLUB it UP
again.
Thanks for letting me vent. I am ****ED!
Katherine will tell me to not hold back and tell ya'll how I really
feel, LOL!
Hugs,
Noreen

Yes, I've had experience with it, too.....started out with FedEx and then
went to USPS. It worked okay for me.

Hoping your stuff arrives soon,

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I have experienced shipping from
online merchants that has been farmed out to the USPS. Actually, it
appeared to me that it was becoming a regular sort of thing.

Go over to Walmart, or whatever is your corner cheap equivalent. pick
up
$3.00 )or 1/5 Euro. worth of whatever "vitamin" you are imagining is so
valuable and spare us this tirade.

A well-balanced diet, or even a medium balanced diet requires no
further
"vitamins."
Trie deficiencies take many weeks or months to establish, believe me
you
have plenty of time before rickets or scurvey set in. Meantime, suck a
lime
or two.

Thanks.

As a long time member of this group, I'll post a rant if I want to.
It was posted OT, you didn't have to read it, and your comments are
unfounded.
What I purchased is NECESSARY to my health, and NINE US DOLLARS
cheaper via the 'net than at Walgreens or RiteAID, and is NOT
AVAILABLE at WallyWorld.
I'll accept an apology from you, JaneB.

Noreen
21.00 versus 30.00 is a LOT.



Hey Navy,

This sounds like a MARINE!!!!!

Tell me about the "necessary to my health" thing before I apologize.

Hi Jane! I see you're still in the Bitch Business and still doing a

Back under your rock now!

I note you didn't say I was wrong.

You also don't know a thing about editing posts before you reply. Get a
grip and go bother someone somewhere else. Noreen doesn't owe you a thing,
and you're being nosy, besides being a bi***.

That's weird.... isn't the whole reason a company would use a courier is
that it's supposed to be faster than the mail service? And aren't you
paying a premium for that courier service? (scratching my head in wonder).

Shelagh

On the one or two times it has happened on something I ordered, I was told
up front how the shipping would be so it was not a problem. In fact, it was
not for expedited shipping. It was for regular shipping. I never pay for
expedited.

What you have to say to Noreen is between you and Noreen.

I took exception to your tone.

It is a good thing you're able to recognize your betters.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

If you wanted to be "spared" from this "tirade", all you had to do was
not read it. The subject line was very clear. Instead you bash someone
for trying to take care of their health.

Daisey,

I'm aware of many people who would like to express their support of your
logical request. I am but one.

I'm sure this used to be a helpful, informative place for people to come ask
their questions and offer assistance. I have not seen that offered but to a
chosen few for quite some time. It has degraded into something of a "private
club" where every member must support the token narcissist or face the wrath
of the coven that follows. Such a waste of bytes and bandwidth... I have
faith that the response to this post will confirm my observations.

May the force be with you!

PS: For those of you who wonder why I still read this group, it serves as a
reminder to me. Not only of how I may be viewed by total strangers, but to
try my best not be a horrible example of how rotten humans can be to each
other.
