Relying on a supplier, what a stupid mistake

[chazzy2501]

I ordered some monitors from stone and asked they hold the delivery until the 26th. We are so out of space here I couldn't take delivery ahead of time. I started the hardware refresh in our primary I.T. Suite as I no longer get support in the half term. We get all old PCs out, new cables and PCs in and wait for the monitors.....and wait.. and wait.. And even having over a weeks notice they fail to deliver (from 3 hours away!) They tell me at the end of my work day... Damn well the 27th I guess, well here I am the day is about to finish, my technician isn't here tomorrow and still no monitors...

 

I should have my head checked to expect a supplier would give to figs about a customer after they get the order! I'm disappointed in myself for expecting anything other than a mess around. Now I cancelled more lessons getting from the head, the staff and a parent! yay!

 

And I can try and lug and install them myself tomorrow when it's only me in!

 

tldr: I asked for monitors on a certain day they didn't make it, I'm inconvenienced, I feel stupid.

Could go the nuclear option and cancel. They have missed their window of opportunity. Then go to a company that will do as asked. I would be stuffed here if companies didn't deliver as requested as we have tight deadlines.
