Ugh, I hate my cursed luck. I finally thought Coles Bookstores wasn't gonna give me shit over an order like they usually do, but I was greatly mistaken.
On November 16th, I ordered the first season of Ranma 1/2 and the Mamoru Oshii Cinema Trilogy boxset, a near $300 order I had to pay up front for IN CASH, and I was told it would been in no later than December 7th.
It's the fucking 9th now, so I go to the store and inquire about my order, in a nonchalant, unconcerned tone, the clerk says "Oh, those discs haven't shipped yet, and the company hasn't posted a shipping date either." "Haven't shipped? I was supposed to have them on Thursday!" I say, and she gives the number of the shipping company and tells me to call them, no ETA is given, no real help or advice dispensed. I leave in huff and the manager stops me to ask "Has the clerk answered your question?" to which I obviously reply no, and then she asks "Did you even get given an ETA?" and I say "No, I wasn't given an ETA, and if my order isn't in soon, you've lost yourself a fucking customer, goodday!"
I pissed off majorly, I could be forced to wait until next year (when a value-priced reissue of the damn Ranma boxset is gonna be released) or worse still, have my order cancelled and go without apt apology. This is the second time Coles has jerked me around with hassles about the shipping and I swear to God if I do not receive my DVDs by the 18th that I will burn the store to the ground.
Somebody cheer me up, because this awful mood is royally screwing up my day...
