Okay, so I bought many of my Christmas presents online, preaching the convenience and joy in doing so from my pyjamas to many of my friends, only to have a few of my gifts arrive in January. I guess 3 weeks wasnt enough time to come all the way north from Everett, Wa.
I would have thought things would be easier doing some Boxing Day shopping from Future Shop. Uh no.
I’ll not bore you with the details of what a gong show their Boxing Day Sale was, (it actually started at 5p on Christmas Eve) all you need to know is I scooped a couple great deals and I haven’t got them yet.
Once again, I was laughing at all the sad sacks who camped out 20 hrs in the cold to save $200 on a flat panel tv. Yet here they are, enjoying all their HD goodness while I am still waiting for my tiny little SD Card and iPod Shuffle.
After re-checking my invoices etc last night, I found the parcel was shipped December 27. I got a tracking number and matched it up with Canada Post, who said my item was delivered January 7. It may have been delivered, but it wasn’t delivered to me.
So what do I do? I tried to send an email to Future Shop’s customer service, it bounced back undeliverable (of course). Do I take it up with FS? Canada Post? Visa?
I just wanted an 8 gig SD card and a cute shuffle. 3 weeks ago!
Online shopping still sucks.

oh i know that feeling of waiting! i finally got my mom’s XD card i bought on the best buy website Dec 24th - umm i got it last week! my boyfriend bought a bunch of DVD’s from amazon.com the same day… and he got them the other day - talk about frustration! I would take it up with FS. and if that doesn;t get you anywhere - go to Visa - they are usually pretty good taking care of their customers. good luck with that Buzz!
Yes it does. My friend ordered 2 shirts (one for her and me) from a company that went out of business and never got her money back. You gotta be really careful where you buy from, sometimes!
