Jesus christ, giveacrap just keep digging that hole.
failed delivery due to shitty delivery company - i bring it to their attention - they resend with same company and driver. Rinse and repeat six friggin' times
I look up our order history and realise this shit has been going on with every single order for the past year. F this. I cancel everything. Ain't got time for that shit. Especially since the guys who deliver my cat litter do tp now.
Leave a review on productreview under the usual nick telling them they used to be great, but now they're not and they need to stop using the cheapest, shittiest couriers and callcentres they can get their hands on, and they've lost a loyal customer.
This from their staff doesn't pm me on productreview, but instead runs my nick through their database, matches my email and emails me directly asking 'did you leave this review?' Not looking to resolve the issues or regain a customer, nope, just wants the bad pr to go away.
He's about to become extremely fucking acquainted with the word 'inappropriate'
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
