scottjpalmer: I hope you're ok @batman

Not buried under a pallet of monitors, gagged and bound in the back of the delivery truck or the victim of a hit put out by Dell.

 

i didn't give much thought to this yesterday, either my driveway is blocked with 2 storeys of monitors, or they agreed to my request to return to sender.

 

as of end of business yesterday, nothing showed up.

 

let me give it a few days ....

 

(if there were to send me 60 XPS laptops in the future, i 100% know what to do now!)

Shipping company signed for shipment with fake signature (started during Covid lockdowns, still seems to occur).

 

Shipping company staff are getting Dell monitors to take home as a bonus. 

 

Dell still has no idea. 

 

(Not serious, in case anyone can't pick it. Well, maybe the last bit is.)

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Wild you even got a call, it should have ended after the last 2 times you told both dell and the carriage company.

yes but i have a paper trail of emails and my text message to the truck driver.

 

i'm very happy if the truck driver sorted it out, i don't care if they took all the monitors, i'm not the least concerned!

@batman

 

You should stop joking. 

 

You are joking, right?

 

You are not joking... You are Batman, not the Joker.

Surely this is some sort of nefarious joke being played by a master villain like Gru, or Dr Nefario?
