Prawns to Melbourne

**Hymie** · 15th December 2011, 07:32 PM

I received my 4 boxes and 4 boxes only.

Ean. There was no box with my name on it. When everone else had their boxes there was only one left and it had the name Muzza on it. Brenno made some phone calls and it was thought that some one who got to the pallet before us must have mine. So we arranged for me to go and swap.

As I was en route I got a phone call being told that they had checked their order and it was correct. So I kept the one that I now have, otherwise I would have got nothing.

Also at this stage I was a long way from Brooklyn end every one would be gone any way. What else could I have done?

As for anyone getting extra we were all present when the pallet came out and we all distributed what was on it.

Well thats even more confusing Dave, as muzza had 2 boxes 1 he packed himself whilst he was on the boat and 1 I packed, and in both of those boxes there were no bugs, but somehow you seem to have gotten something you didnt order, so try and understand it from my end.

I pack every order myself and write up the boxes, so I cant blame anyone at my end other than me, plus I have a book and tally how many outer boxes are packed, then compare it to orders then put it on the pallet.

Anyway whats happened has happened but things dont seem like they should from my end, and im now trying to find how to replace the prawns and get them to Melbourne during christmas.

Cheers Ean

My order was perfect 1 box of tigers 1 box of endeavors and 3kg of bugs. 1 bag of bugs was in a mixed box as you posted they would be.
If someone outside of the forum was allowed to take their box(s) before we got there what was stopping someone from the cool store helping themselves and leaving the blame to placed on that person. Just saying, it was obvious they were big boxes of prawns and who wouldn't want them just before Christmas.

Dave will correct me if I'm wrong but he did not get any Bugs in that box, just prawns.

It seems as though some are feeling that i accusing them of stealing, which im not..Im trying to work out how this happened..

So I have PM'd Brenno and sorted something out, so if all are happy with what they have thats fine.

What Dave says is true Ean. There was a box with Muzza marked on it, but no box with Mr. Whippy on it. At the time we discovered it, there was still 6 or so of us there who saw it, and those guys were also there when I was calling Scott.

I called Scott Coe (??) I think it was, there was a con-note at subzero with his name on it, who was relaying messages to Ian (who was driving back to Seaford), the skipper who had been in early to collect his order. Dave was passed my phone to arrange to meet with Ian and Scott, as we assumed that they had Dave's box, as Dave had Muzza's.

I don't know what Ian and Scott collected from the coldstore unfortunately, but there was definitely a box left behind with Muzza on it, with 3 boxes of prawns, no bugs, hence my efforts to contact Scott to try and sort it out.

In all the confusion of breaking up the pallet, and trying to sort out Dave's order, I just assumed I had all of my order at the end of everything. Compounding my confusion was the fact I had Siska's order to take with me too. Steve helped me pack my esky's, but I didn't count everything before I left. I just assumed it was all there.

To be clear, I've told Ean that I don't think anyone I met today would have kept anything that they shouldn't.

I can also see Ean's point, and I commend his customer service.
