DHL told me that they’d be at my house anywhere between 0900 and 1630, which must mean that they allow the drivers to pick which houses they want to go to at what time. Seven and a half hours is a pretty wide estimate time. I couldn’t go in the shower till the driver turned up at 1300 because I was scared of him turning up whilst I was in the shower and then deciding I wasn’t in since I hadn’t heard the door.
It was the same guy that picked up my laptop, and turned up the Friday before he was supposed to pick it up to, so maybe there’s only one Wednesbury guy? The problem with DHL compared to Royal Mail is that they only have a few distribution centres – my laptop was being kept in Sheffield which is freaking miles away – whilst if it was Royal Mail there’s a distribution centre right around the corner from me. I mean, I can literally see it from my window.
Anyway, I got my laptop back! They replaced his battery, so I know how three hours lifespan again, and they replaced his keyboard. I didn’t ask for that, but some of the keys had become shiney from over use. I wouldn’t have replaced it since it was still working perfectly, but meh. New keyboard! Really clean screen too.
Now, I really need to do that coursework.
