I placed a couple of online orders last night.
One was with sears as they had a 15% off sale if you ordered after 9pm. But the 15% only worked with a coupon code that they gave you on the start screen. (Why they couldn't just automatically calculate it, I don't know). I went through and did my order and entered the code and they said it was invalid.
So I called the phone # they listed on the screen and said I was having trouble with an internet order. 'Kenny' told me that they only did catalogue orders and gave me another number for internet orders. I called the number he suggested but they were not open.
So I called back the original number and got "Kim-yo" and told him the the 15% off code was invalid. He went and asked at the helpdesk and they checked and sure enough the number that was posted online was off by one digit. He gave me the correct number and fixed it online. And I placed my order.
But with all the problems getting this in, for some reason my order switched from a pickup order to a delivery order. Now I don't mind this much as long as Myron answers the door. If I have to go and pickup the delivery I won't be very impressed! Sears has a new order system and I think it has a few bugs!
My next order was for Christmas cards. I tried to order at SDM as they had a very cool frame card for the picture I had. So I went through and was almost completed the order but on the last step I had to hit 'continue' and it would just refresh the page I had. There was no phone # to call. I have had problems with SDM processing my cards before so I gave up and ordered them at Loblaws instead. The frame around the picture is not as nice, but their ordering system works better!
Rustle tidbit
Because these things happen.
When Al finished his sermon, Robert leaned over to Madeline and said that she was cold because she didn't have enough blubber on her bones.
Gloria on over hearing this, turned around and said to Robert "You're impossible!"
I found the exchange rather amusing. Rustle is never boring.
James is currently waiting for AJ to arrive and they'll play for a couple of hours. Then we'll have dinner- chicken and mashed potatoes. James wants to go to the Church down the road this evening. We went last week and it was their 20th anniversary so that was a fun evening. I had some interesting talks with James today that I'll write down if I get the time!
