Mail call

Look what arrived today:

Not the most significant event to happen lately at Inanimate Towers, but I had in fact kind of given up on it happening at all… JB Hifi were doing a buy two get one free deal on DVDs/blu-rays a couple of weeks ago, so I took advantage of that, looked through all the stuff on offer, and spotted this, which is one of Amicus’ horror anthology films, going cheap. So I made that part of the order with two other full-price items, meaning this was the free one.

Only problem was, it failed to arrive with either of the other two things, both of which came separately for some reason rather than as part of the same order. A few days went by and I realised Torture Garden was not exactly en route… Also, JB Hifi emailed with a questionnaire to ask how satisfied with their service I was, so I used that to say no, I was not actually satisfied, given that the third item had not arrived and I’d come to the conclusion that, by this time, it wasn’t going to, and the only reason I wasn’t making more of a fuss about it was that it was the free item in that deal.

Sent that off, got no response which I was kind of irritated about given that I hadn’t been impressed by the service and I’d have thought they might actually want to discuss that… but, funnily enough, a couple of days later I got another email advising me that the Torture Garden blu-ray was in the mail. Coincidental timing? Or was this, in fact, their reply to me having been a bit harrumphy at them? Either way, at least the bloody thing’s here now…
