ToughMudder ... they took THREE months to reply to a query after I broke my arm ... that left me with just THREE weeks to find someone to buy my place off me and use the code given to me. Luckily I found someone, but maaaaan, talk about STRESS?!
Hanneke Sep 2021 12:42pm, 10 Sep 2021 79,348 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke The fact that EVERYTHING has become seriously complicated because of... Drumroll... Covid? I mean, what has ordering a vacuum on line got to do with Covid??? I had to live chat, talk to someone, then talk to someone else all asking innane questions! As in why are you buying a vacuum today? Well, because I thought I waste a morning's pruning job earning 3x as much as I save by ordering from your company as opposed to getting in the car and going to a shop!!! I now wished I had done the latter but I thought I would save time. A process that should have taken 10 minutes took 1.5 hours Why? Well, Covid, of course! Why is everyone using that as a weak excuse??? An on line retailer, with the item in stock??? Was it the covid virus stopping the on line card processing service to "hang"??? Has it jumped from beast to man to computers now? No, exactly!!! 😠🤬😠
