THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[goldfish]

Not particularly impressed with Williams Sonoma at Bondi at the moment.  May 8 I at last received a confirmation that my order had been received - website indicated items all ready for shipping - and not a word since - not even a response to an email I sent them several days ago . . .   Good old PoK sends out their orders almost before you can turn around!!

 . . . well . . meanwhile. .  back at the ranch . . sent a further email several days ago and still no response.  Went to their Aus website and finally found a phone number (go right to the bottom of the page and click on "store locations" to find this out )

Spoke to a young gentleman who took details and indicated he would call me back as it would take time to look everything up.  No return phone call, but when I (much later) checked my email there was a  note from the international customer service section saying they had received a request from this young man regarding the status of my order.  They now, in turn,  have sent a request for an update of the order's shipping status - but , they say, it may take up to a week for them to receive a response!! (My head is spinning!!!)  Once they get this, they will send me an update.

Don't want an update . . .  just want to receive what I ordered! In my books this,  as Daffy Duck (and many others!) have declared, "ain't no way to run a railroad!"

Rapidly losing interest in this place -

Does anyone have a convention oven, is it any good..

[EmeraldSue]

Do you mean a convection microwave Robyn? I remember that Mandi has one and does a lot of baking in it.

[mcmich]

There is a thread here and here and here Robyn.

GF, sorry to hear your troubles, 2 of my items are here, 1 still to come.

I was going to place an order with Williams Sonoma but think I will hold off for now.

[achookwoman]

New TV and 2 Samsonite cases.  The new light strong ones. Have used Samsonite Oyster ones for years but they are heavy before you put anything in them.  Don't like the zip that goes around the new cases ,  but we will see. 40% off at Standbags.

Thanks Michelle for the links..

I had no trouble at all ordering from the US..great service with that. The troublesome order was through the Australian site which I thought (mistakenly it seems) was to be sent from their new store in Bondi.  Maybe teething troubles but I do hope they sort it out soon....
