When your parcel has been onboard (For Delivery) the Aramex delivery vehicle for the last 4 hours and it's almost 5pm and you haven't got it yet!

....and you live about 2km from their depot! I'm in Christchurch City (Upper Riccarton)!

Friend has had them turn up at 9pm to deliver things so there is still hope.

sir1963: Sanitarium stops making peanut butter

Old news now but Sanitarium seem to be changing the reason for stopping. Started saying difficulties getting Australian peanuts but now say losing market share. Pic's don't seem to have a problem getting theirs from Australia. Fix& Fogg get their peanuts from Argentina. Pics and Fix&Fogg salted are 0.5%salt which is less than salted butter.

Maybe Sanitarium are facing worn out machinery and are too tight to invest.

Also the Treasurer dropped a rather heavy hint that their "Charity" gig might be coming to an end - she even name checked Sanitarium when discussing changes to the tax laws and charities.

Next stop: the Wright Family "Foundation".

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Getting a "please review your purchase" email less than half a day after receiving the order. I haven't even opened the box yet!

I've received the "Review Request" before the parcel has even arrived!

Fighting the black Friday sales at the mall, getting a 30% discount, then two days later receive an email from work saying we get a staff discount of 50% at said store.

Go and discuss it with the store, and if they will not be helpful about it and its not serial tracked stock, buy another at 50% off and return it in place of the 30% off one.

Still NO parcel from Aramex.

Despite @ 11am this morning being promised by their CSR the it will be urgently delivered!

Still showing as "Onboard for delivery" as @ 12.49pm YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phone calls now just disconnecting!

Edited to add:

Got through to a different CSR who made the same promises as this morning's one!

I said I'm not holding my breath for any difference or change in status!

Frank Energy are going to stop supplying gas, so now I've got to arrange a new gas supplier. I might as well change power companies while I'm at it.

Video of Aramex supposed delivery attempt:

Despite the CSR being told to have the delivery person come to the security gate and wave, they will be seen on camera and I'll come out!

I have sent a sh*tty email to The Nile to sort this out!

I await the next steps!

Why would the driver waving be more obvious than a courier van if you were going to come out?
