Maybe I'm just not meant to order stuff off the internet. With the exception of the Yarnmarket.com order (hi Deborah! Thanks for leaving a comment yesterday. I love the yarn. Which is Tahki Yarns New Tweed, since Skiffyknitter asked.), I am apparently cursed.
The new story... I ordered an x-mas gift. X-mas gift arrived today. It was supposed to have 6 parts, but the box contained only 1. The invoice states that there should be 6 and I paid for 6. What to do?
Well, I called the phone number on the invoice. Got a recording that they had a new phone number. Called that. Was able to interact with an automated "check your status" system, but if you tried to talk to a person, it just gave you a message to send an email. I searched the website (and this isn't a huge internet store, but it also isn't a little no-name place either) and there is no phone numbers! So I sent an email inquiring whether I get the other 5 parts and when, or how do I get my refund.
But I can't believe there is no human being that I can talk to about this. I know an email is answered by a human being, but when you are angry and missing part of your order, you want to at least talk to someone, and potentially yell if you have to.
I was planning on ordering some more things for x-mas online, but now I'm afraid. I think I'm cursed.
