Yikes. That sounds awful... I haven't had a new delivery in well over a year because I forgot to delay one before and I've still got a whole unopened box to use. Did the company get bought over or something?! Why must even WGAC fall to enshittification -_- although it is perhaps ironically fitting that they do. Ugh.
Feels really unsettling, all the brands you felt good about and safe with ending up like this, like all your friends turning into dropkicks and your old life is no more.
The other day I read about Kogan having an energy plan (wtf to even that) and really horrible service - apparently it's white labelled Powershop. Jesus, anyone remember when Powershop were the energy brand of choice for us greenies before they got inexplicably sold to Shell...
@just_kitten @Taleya the other thing that sucks about WGAC is the toilet paper is coming all the way from China. We DO NOT need to ship bum roll from effing China, it's one of the least sensible things to buy from there, srsly.
we haven't opened the rolls yet, but eco247 sell them now, so hoping they're good! These are the guys we get our whopping great refill wheelie bins of cat litter delivered from, so having them do both the cats and us in regards to poop tickets tickles me wonderfully
I’m finding it the same, all the things I used to be ok with and rely on suddenly aren’t working well
In my case it's them partnering with a shitty courier and having customer service mishandle it to the point of cancellation. But the mishandling to the point of a federal complaint is a new one for me....
The courier issue is a fucking mind boggle because it's ANC. And i use pet circle. Who very fucking famously use ANC and i have had ZERO delivery issues. Ever. Different tiers and SLAs i guess
