susandennisWell, as expected, the eVac didn't work. That's not entirely true. It did work, for 30-45 seconds, it sucked like a vacuum cleaner. Then for a minute to a minute and a half, it wandered around the room. I was able to repeat this as much as I wanted and while it was great fun to watch the cats with it, it's a bit much for a cat toy.
So I called them again. It was an arduous call because I decided that I wanted a Roomba instead. And I wanted it now. And I didn't want to pay shipping. I got the Roomba and I am not paying shipping but they are still not going to ship it until they get this broken eVac back which they aren't going to get back until they snail mail me the postage paid label and I schlep it to the fucking post office... So, best case, I'll have it about the 24th of August.
The guy told me he had bypassed the step where after they get the return, they send me some kind of certificate to sign before they will ship the new one. So he was saving me at least a couple of weeks.
Fuckall.
I just decided it was too hot and I was too tired of fighting Sheri to get stuff done and John to finish the shelves and one more time fight was just too many. So I said ok. And I'll deal.
I did, however, look up their email address and sent an email begging them to please ship it now. I pointed out (thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
henare) that they had my credit card number. If they didn't get their broken product back, they could charge the card. OR charge it now and then apply the credit when they get the broken one back.
I'm sure my email went into a black hole but at least I tried.
And it's Friday. And the Mariners were not losing there for a couple of innings. (Can there be anything more humiliating than being beaten by the Mariners? Oh yeah, being beaten by Tampa Bay...)
