![]() As title.....
![]() ![]() I ordered a load of steel and alloy sheets from Parkers. They told me it would be delivered today, but could not give me a time. I phoned at lunchtime, then they told me it would be here by 3:00pm Waited till 6:00....Phoned back. "Oh we've had problems, it will be delivered Monday now" "Well thanks a f****ng bunch, I've waited in all bloody day. Couldn't you have at least phoned and told me" "Well we don't guarantee next day delivery" "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I didn't ask for next day delivery. Just wanted to know when it will arrive, so I ain't waiting around" What a load of James Hunts...!!!!!!!!!! ![]() Would love to send a snotty email to the MD David PS, Hope you ain't waiting Ash ![]() |

![]() Just imagine if you had to deal with steel suppliers on a weekly basis!
Common phrases used by steel company employees on the other end of the phone A. I don't have that listed,I don't think we do that . funny you had it last week as I brought 6 lengths of it. B. I'll get a price for that and call you back in 10mins, phone 9am next day to find out price that I asked at 11am the previous day. C.We get that on a bulk buy which is why you get it cheaper (CDS for wishbones) not telling how much I pay for that, we've run out till next month so that'll be an extra £17 a length, em pardon me? donk...........beeeeeeeee D.yeah no probs that'll be with you tomorrow ie Tuesday....wednesday 7.30 am turn up when every things locked up so matey dumps 20+ 6mtr lenghs of steel out side the nearest house to the work shop blocking their driveway. E. the driver could'nt find the address you gave us.... Its opposite a pub! F. we hav'nt got any 1.6mm 16 gauge, will 3mm 10 gauge do?

![]() I would have had no prob's if they had said Monday delivery.
Or even if they had phoned to say they are having problems. I don't know wheather its stupidity or ignorance... ![]() Either way, defo not the way to conduct a business. As I said to someone just the other day. It's better to say NO, than say YES then don't....... David |

![]() I always go to the stockist and collect, they cut it to length to fit in the car/trailer and always give a decent discount.
Kwik steel in Cardiff bay - brilliant.
