JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 you're easier on them than I would be Neil. If you want quality service you have to demand it. KM's wait was near legendary and therefore completely unacceptable. You and I both have been in the shipping industry and in a business situation this would be serious problem, it shouldn't be treated any lighter because it was for personal use.

Lurker 5 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Screen Archives is not at fault here. Mark got what he paid for. If Screen Archives had put the wrong address on the box, then yes, they would be liable for that, no doubt. Screen Archives is in no way responsible for the time it took and no carrier is responsible for customs delays (if there were any).Who should I complain to about my dad getting his Father's Day card last week?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes, that'll work. Sit on Mr. T's lap and tell him you want your money back.I was displeased that when my CDs were shipped, I got no information about tracking number or carrier regarding my order. The email from 17 November said:"We thought you would like to know that your order (...) has been shipped today. If you are a USA customer please wait two weeks to inquire about an order not received and overseas customers please wait 30 to 45 days. Any questions please e-mail info@screenarchives.com and include the order number. Thank you and we look forward to your future orders."So KM, your wait was unpleasant but not as long as it could have been. To hit the 45 day mark, you might have been looking at next week sometime to inquire about the order. Getting it could have taken even longer.Although KM, you've got nothing to lose by asking them to refund your shipping money. If done diplomatically enough, they'll subscribe to "the customer is always right" and try to make it up to you. They're a big company, it's the least they can do, but even if they say "tough luck," I think SAE has lost you as a customer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is a mercy of the post office or customs and in this case KM was at the mercy of customs.Joe, there are no guarantees with standard mail sent to another country.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Other online soundtrack houses give tracking numbers. In two purchases from SAE, I have yet to see one. So it's a balance between being able to wait in nervous agony for my shipment to arrive, and wanting to actually remove my credit card from my wallet instead of using convenient Paypal.

Trent B 337 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Through USPS, a tracking number can't be given to packages going out of the country. If it were delivered by UPS, FedEx or some other carrier then that would be one thing. Through USPS tracking numbers are generally given to those only inside the United States. All though I don't think SAE does tracking numbers for even US customers, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittBash 282 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 That's Canadians for ya. They celebrate Thanksgiving one month early, and Indiana Jones Soundtrack day one month late.

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My box set was actually roped with some other parcel that was delivered with it. It might have been sitting there somewhere in a postal office for a while. Smaller parcels are delivered my the mailman not the truck, so I wonder if they "choose" what they want to carry on a given day until and after few weeks they finally carry it over if their bag is not to filled up. I think there's a lot of laziness and "minimal effort" mentality going on at Canada Post .The personnel is a bit apathetic when you go to an outlet in person.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I rather like the jewel case that holds the PC game "Far Cry," at least the $20 version I bought at Walmart. It opens from both sides, like the El Cid jewel case, but it has enough fold-open panels to hold the five or six CDs needed to install the game, and a little instruction booklet.
