The annoying thing is that inside the big envelope I will get from apple, is a smaller envelope that i have to put the old headphones in and send them back. So, It's a bastard missing the man and getting it given to someone else, because then I have to ring up and arrange for them to come back, to pick the envelope back up!”
Contrary to what I might have implied above, I normally prefer them to deliver earlier - then you're not spending the rest of the day messing around waiting for them to come, and I can turn music up and stuff like that (as well as toilet, shower etc).
Last time I had something (new graphics card) I'd just done the last button on my shirt when the doorbell went. Talk about timing!
But yeah, I hate it if you're expecting something to come and it's getting later in the day, because Sod's Law will say if you go toilet or something, it will come then.
Most stuff I order will fit through the letterbox and if it's a CD or something they'll use RM. I do remember ordering some CDs from a website in the Netherlands one Tuesday afternoon and having them in the player Thursday! Fast...
