Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 I've got stuck with some of my Christmas shopping. I went to Kingston about 3 weeks ago and popped into the Disney Store to see some wonderful Buzz Lightyear pyjamas which I thought would be lovely presents for my two budding Buzzes. The boys were with me at the time so I didn't buy any (but they didn't see them). The next week we were in Aberdeen so DH and I popped into their Disney store where I found some for DS1 but not for DS2. There's no way I'm giving them to only one of them because there would be so many tears, so I thought I'd find the smaller pair when I got home. I've been chasing up the Guildford store now for the last two weeks and they're useless. They have a delivery four nights a week. So far, the right size (3-4) have not come in. They cannot tell me when they will, they do not know what they are getting in each order, they cannot order it in for me, and if it should turn up, they cannot hold it for me. I just find it amazing that at this time of year, when plenty of other stores and companies will try to help you, this lot are not interested. I'm not going to get worked up by phoning them everyday just to find out if they have one (and if they did, I'd have to jump in the car and dash straight over), so will probably take the bigger pair back and just forget that present. It's so frustrating. Now I've just tried to do three online orders. One with Lakeland, but 5 of the items I wanted weren't available, one with Letterbox for some personalised cutlery but their last date for ordering personalised stuff was last Friday so now they cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas, and the GLTC website is not available. I'm off to hibernate now until after Christmas..... ((( On a more positive note, I wanted to get some stuff at Argos this morning so rather than have a wasted journey I used their ring and reserve service and it worked beautifully. Plus I tried to get a magazine I wanted last week at WH who didn't have it. I contacted the magazine directly to see if there was a problem and they sent me a copy in the post straightaway, so there is good service out there in some places!
