The only HBS here who stocks grain has been stuff'n me around for far too long.
Many times it has taken up to 3 weeks from placing an order to recieving it & it usually takes a phone call after 2 weeks to get that!
Ordering via Email with his "spread sheet" of normally stocked items, I still, to this day, have never had a reply to say "order recieved" or "ready for dispatch" so I can make payment via Direct Deposit.
Last order, I waited 2 weeks, still no grain, so I rang & am told, "it's on the way" one week later, you guessed it, still no grain so I rang again & get "oh we need to recive payment before we send now". Well that's news to me!!
I had to drive a 2hr round trip to get the bloody thing only to find that he had told me to choose 25Kg on his spread sheet for a Bulk Bag discount price which he quoted me. then packed 20Kg because postage over 20 Kg is dearer.
So the B%$#ard was going to let me deposit 25Kg price in his account & only send me 20Kg of grain!
I wonder how many times he has got me with that one?????????
This time I placed an order via Email on the 28th Oct, & as at yesterday 23rd Nov....Still no grain, even after 2 phone calls in as many weeks.
Rang him & told him to stick it, then placed an order with Ross. problem solved!
postage will be about $14 dearer but at least I will get what I order, when I order it.
Rant over,
just had to get that off my chest,
Cheers, Mick.
