so, i calls Andrews on Tues, and orders a 2" GSO eyepiece.
"That will be sent next day delivery on Thursday"
"Ok" said I, a bit puzzled that it wasnt sent there and then next day delivery.
so, today Friday, 3pm, i calls Andrews
"Well we sent it, here is the tracking number"
so i call Australia Post
"Can you confirm the address"
So i gave him the address
"Ah ..." says the AP guy "Its got the wrong postcode on it"
so i said "are you telling me, the guys stopped outside of the building where I work, looked at the MATCHING address, thats on the wall, in 1m letters, couldnt even walk 10 metres to the front desk to ask for me, as the post code on his docket was in blue biro and written wrongly, and this is obviously the right address?"
"Yes sir thats right"
"So i ordered this next day delivery, Monday is a holiday in Canberra, and your telling me, i wont get this until almost a week after ordering?"
"Yes sir thats right"
"where is it now? >seeth<"
"At the delivery depot in Mitchell"
"Thats around the corner from where i live! can i go collect it?"
"certainly not"
needless to say, i am not a happy camper ... no 2" eyepiece goodness for me over the weekend, and a holiday weekend at that! i suppose the only saving grace is that the moon is growing, and i probably wouldnt get to observe as much as i normally would
