Thread: I hate telemarketing

proof of delivery is not the same as proof of receipt.

Further developments. You're gonna **** yourself laughing. I did.

I rang them early this morning. Giving the lovely lady on the phone the details for recollection she said "You ordered two bags."
"No I didn't. You called me and I said no."
"You said no?"
"That is correct."
"I can't do anything. I'll send the message upstairs and someone will call you."
"Make it snappy." I'm not spending the day standing by the phone waiting for them to get organised. They need organising.
Still haven't heard from them seven hours later.

Well, Mario, you and I were wrong.

These telemarketers are very pushy. Very, very pushy. Their employers should be very happy with that.
Talking to one of the neighbours this afternoon, she informed me they called her. Eventually to get rid of them, despite not wanting any, she ordered two bags and they haven't been delivered yet.

I'm still giggling.

Ok. Enough is enough.
It's been a year now and they still haven't collected their fertiliser.
I'll move it from the driveway to the backyard.

To tell you the truth, I'm surprised it hasn't been stolen.



Anyways, a new company is now sending me nasty letters.
Earlier this year I needed to move a car to a secure location until I could collect it. It was in country Victoria and I couldn't get to it for a few weeks.
I got a towing company in a nearby town to collect it and store it. They told me I wouldn't be able to collect the car until I had paid the bill in full. "That sounds reasonable." I said, "I'll pay the bill when I come out to collect the car."
Two weeks later, I took the tandem to their business, paid them, got a receipt, loaded the car and toddled off home.
A couple of weeks later, I received an overdue notice in the mail. I called them and advised the bill had been paid.
Now, a month later, in the mail I get a 60 days overdue invoice.
I don't want to be ringing them every month to tell them the account has been settled.
Maybe I should send them a letter stating I will pay the bill when they allow me to collect the vehicle. I wonder if they'll go looking for it?
On the other hand, maybe not.

Maybe photocopy the paid invoice and show them.... I had to do something similar in the states before. It worked for me

Watch those bags. They're probable now degraded from being in the sun. They may fall to bits when you try to move them.

Yes. That's what I'll eventually have to do.
I'll wait for the debt collector letters and then send an invoice for solicitor fees. That tends to make them look.
In the mean time, another phone call. They're free. Letters are a dollar.

What annoys me is I shouldn't be doing their job. They have a copy of the receipt in their receipt book. They should have reconciled their books with that.

Better still, their office staff clearly are overworked if they are missing this sort of stuff. In these days of jobless people (more in the country than the city), perhaps they should put on a junior or a part timer

That's ok. The contents will spill over where it needs to be spread anyway.
