eXpansys

I’m really ticked off right now. I should be writing a post about how I’ve installed OS X on an Acer Aspire A150 but instead the damn netbook hasn’t even arrived. On Sunday, I ordered a Acer Aspire A150 netbook from Amazon, apparently via eXpansys, and opted for the £5.50 “Express Delivery” option. I thought it’d be great – here by Wednesday or so and I could start playing around with it.
On Tuesday I got an email from Amazon telling me my order had been dispatched. Apparrently I could expect it either yesterday or today. However now I’ve just got an email from eXpansys saying the netbook won’t even be dispatched until tomorrow, quoting “overwhelming demand” for the problem. I’ve never known “Express Delivery” on a small item to take 6 days! Oh, and the only thing I’ll be getting back is a £5 voucher to use on eXpansys’ website. Oh great. I’ll save it for something I could do without for a few weeks.
Ideally I’d like my delivery charge refunded – this is scandalous and even though Amazon say it shipped yesterday and should be here today at the latest, it’s not even been dispatched.
Well I know who I won’t be buying from in future.
