I got my laptop back!

Posted on by

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.

I’m currently on one of the computers at mum’s which is only slightly better than the ones at college; right click works!

Anyway, DHL came to drop off my laptop Friday, but no one was in the house. Then my sister forgot to bring the form they posted to my mum’s so I have to wait till Monday to even ask them to bring him again. I hope they don’t charge for that, or decide to get rid of him…

On an unrelated note: Ober got me playing World Of Warcraft. That wasn’t a very smart idea. I’ve played it for hours, and miss it already… Ober forbid me to buy it till I finish with my exams.

I has a Blood Elf

Well that’s… efficient of DHL

The DHL just came and was like “Hai. I was just passing and thought I’d check if you’d like your laptop picked up now.”

Well, no. I don’t. That’s why I specifically asked for it to be picked up Tuesday and not today. Still though, it was nice of them to check. I’m a bit worried about what DHL are doing with my address before they need it though. Data protection act and stuff.
