    Default Next Day Delivery....rant...

    So I went to the eye doctor yesterday to get my contact lens exam, and to order my new color lenses. I paid $25.00 extra for next day delivery, which they told me today (Saturday) counts as a business day for where my lenses are coming from. So since I really really wanted them today...I paid the extra money. 4pm and my contacts still are not here. Called the number on my confirmation sheet, they are CLOSED today!!! So I have to wait until MONDAY or probably TUESDAY to get my new contacts, and I threw out one of them last night thinkin Id have the replacement today. Im ticked off and demanding a refund from SOMEBODY since I have to wait 3 freakin days anyways. . . and I can only see in ONE eye!!!!

    This happened to me recently.
    It's so inconvenient.


    But yeah... I agree, for $25 next day shipping... you should ABSOLUTELY be getting your money back if you didn't receive it when you were told you would.

    Next Day Delivery rarely means just that. Usually it means you'll get your item in a few days instead of in a week or more. How next day delivery works (just for future reference) is that the day you order is not considered the 1st day. So, if you place an order for next day delivery on a weekend, the order is considered to start on the next Monday or the next business day if there is a holiday that weekend. In that case "next day" means 2 days after you actually order your item after any weekends or holidays are over.

    Usually, it isn't worth it. Just order items as 2-day or priority shipping. It may take 1 or 2 more days than "Next Day" but it is way cheaper and sometimes even free with some merchants.

    It'll probably arrive on Monday, but if the business submitted the order after noon on Friday, you'll get your item on Tuesday before noon.

    P.S. Never trust a person that is telling you something that sounds too good to be true. Because you knew that next day delivery usually means 2 days, the sales person you were talking to really had no idea what he/she was talking about. I like to ask for a written guarantee if something sounds weird like that.

    Actually. It depends on the company.
    There are a lot of companies that have a cut-off time, and if you order before the cut-off... you really do get your order the day after you order it.

    /used to work for such a company.

    Buying online can be pretty hit and miss.
    Try buying stuff in the US when you live in Australia. At $30 postage for 1 pair so you order 2 pairs of 2 styles of shoes so the postage is less per pair. Then the buggers put a note in he parcel that one style of shoes wasn't in stock so they didn't send it. I would have bought a different style had I been told! I want 4 pairs, not 2 That's why I bought 4 at once at the one place. More annoying was they refunded the cost of the shoes not sent but not the postage which was MORE than the shoes. grrrr! Anyway they won't be getting my money again.

    WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT SEE AND THIS IS WHY!!

    The email I sent to customer service...
    (((I was under the impression that my lenses would be delivered today (Saturday Jan 9) when I paid 25.00 for next day delivery yesterday. In some places, Saturday is a business day, I wasnt told otherwise when I paid....

    Also, the site is not showing my recent order... ?

    Thanks

    ))))))




    The reply I got back with a photo of the page that SHOWS my items in my shopping cart, but when I go to the page they tell me to log into...theres NOTHING in my shopping cart, or in my Recent orders. This is the reply I got back. Mudda fucka...
    ((((Nichole-

    Unfortunately, your order was not submitted it is still in your shopping cart. (See Below)

    Makiba))))))
    Now the office submitted this order. How fuckin dumb are they. And gave me a receipt. Now when I look at my receipt...it does say PLACE ORDER. OMG!!!!!!
