I’m shaking with rage

Squid, will you, for the love of God, get over it. The potty mouth is sending you a replacement. Go have sex or something and put this piece of bother behind you. If that solution isn't an immediate option, I would recommend the 65% dark chocolate bars from Aldi - made up of individually wrapped little mini bars, each with the orange bits and slivered almonds.

Christ, Squid I was simply seeking to be vaguely jocular about the circumstances as to how you might go about getting a replacement award without it getting busted. An Post broke the award not me.

It was actually my daughter Lette sent the package to a week ago last Wednesday. It still hasn't arrived & I'm not holding my breath for it now. The amazing thing is I sent a package down to Lette's sister yesterday & she got it this morning. I can't believe how bad things have gotten with the post here. Is it going to get to the stage that we're going to have to post everything registered mail?

There was actually an article last May in 1 of the local papers here about me. My mother Lord rest her was severely disabled & relying heavily on me to drive her about. Being only on a provisional licence I was pushing to have my test as soon as possible. I will never forget ringing up 1 day to see if there had been any cancellations. They told me that because I failed to turn up to my last test I would have to reapply. They had posted out the letter to me & I never, to this day have received it. I got so annoyed I got straight on to all the local papers. It didn't do any good though. Typical.
I live in Galway & if I want to send a letter to my next door neighbour it has to go to Athlone first. How on earth can that make sense?

Squid I really do hope you get a new award. But don't hold out any hope of getting anywhere with An Post. You won't, trust me I know. We never get mail on time. Good luck in your endeavors.
Mi.

@Dan,

I'm not getting dragged into any disputes you might or might not have with Damien Mulley, I would appreciate it if such personal disputes were kept off the here. As for the other stuff re amazon, you would have to see the thing in person in order to evaluate the damage involved.

@ turf

The cut on my finger was one of thos eannoying ones just on the corner of the fingernail, while it don't hurt much now it was very sore when I took me hand out of the box. I didn't bust a vain or anything. sort of like a paper cut, very small but very sore. at the time

How's the cut healing?

Glass can be funny stuff at the best of times, thin or thick. I had a delivery from Amazon end of last year that was so late that they fronted for a replacement shipment when it finally appeared 2 weeks after the replacement it was quite bashed up. The worst thing is having to head out of town down the Dock rd on work days to collect stuff. Tell ya what, I'll post on my blog when I'm out of town and Damien can drop up and hand it over in person.

Everything was in order dan. The troubling part is that it was not thin glass it was good solid glass and not the type to break easily.

A pity that it didn't make it in one piece it was a much deserved award. I'm presuming it was marked as fragile and properly packed and so on.

Mulley is not the first person to use a swear word on this site, and he sure as hell won't be the last.

i too find the use of the c word unnacceptable on the site. im far from prudish but i suppose its down to a lack of vocabulary and we should feel sorry for people who have to resort to its use.

Ohh that is a b*ll*x.

Nobody Moderates the Mulley!

Jeez, that sucks... nice one Damien for replacing it though.

And @solution: "wow, its only in two halves, not bad for an post." ... how many 'halves' would you expect it to be in? :p

I agree with Roisin about the C word and also feel that someone was fairly irresponsible to send that through an Post in the first place.....

Sorry about the breakage, Squid, but just wanted to ask if the 'c' word is now going to be accepted by moderators on this site?

wow, its only in two halves, not bad for an post.

Bastards

They've got a fucking monopoly, they're hemorrhaging money and the service is gone to shit. Seriously, what the fuck is going on in an post?

That's crap, sorry to see that squid, bad form of An Post. Hope you can get another one. Fair play to you Damien to organise another one.

super glue? :)

If Mulley has a receipt of postage, might be able to recoup the cost.

What really makes me mad is when the Postman half puts the letters into the letterbox. Anyone could put there hand in and take them.
Sorry to hear about the trophy Squid.

HOLY SH!T!!!! they are really gone bad, I sent something to get to galway last thursday and its still not there!! im getting worried now, and seeing this just concretes how bad it is!!!

ahhh squid im sorry man that sucks!! get on to them though and really dont let it go till you get satisfaction!! thats terrible!

what a shame. they should have it replaced for you. its looks very nice. Shame

Balls but i'm sure you'll win another one next year!!!!

Sue 'em. Fucking Postal Service is gone to hell. More so since they started to send everything via these Central Sorting Offices. Use DHL for packages.

I'm getting more trophies made for a commercial event so the trophy guy will throw this in for free. Don't worry about the cost. :)

Will see if I can recoup some of the expense for this one and send it on to you if I can.

Cunts. I'll have another made and send it by DHL next time.

Ouch

If a new one is to be made, An Post can pay for it.

Ask the organisers to get you a new one.. I am sure the readers of this site will chip in.. I gladly will.

Ah shite man! that sucks sooo badly! Honestly what a load of crock!

Fookin 'ell, lousy. Postman twat is right.

They break their new shoes in on delicate packages. Wankers.

It must have taken some whack to do that.
They have to send you a replacment.

feel free to remove the duplicate..pc had a seizure there...

Postman Twat....
