Surrey Phil Apr 2021 5:25pm, 13 Apr 2021 6,171 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Ordered an office chair in February and have been given delivery dates as 'on or around 12 March, 1 April and now 13 April.' They never call to apologise and I'm always having to chase them for an update. I can see this going to a small claims court at this rate.
