My pans arrived yesterday. I have cooked with them twice and I am now a Domestic Goddess

Tortoise · 01/12/2011 06:46

I'm sad to say my poor doggy is coatless! It's tracked as delivered but left in porch. Not at my house though! Amazon are investigating with delivery company but I have to wait until 3rd before they will send replacement Sad

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 01/12/2011 16:51

Oh I wish my pans had arrived. Do far I've had my prof cox books, scribblenauts and a memory card. The best stuff is still on the way.

Sorry to hear your poor doggy doesn't have his coat. Amazon are normally great at sorting that kind of thing though, it's just a shame they like to use rubbish delivery companies to start with.

given it a name & everyfink

Jux · 04/12/2011 00:39

I saw yesterday that MY PANS ARE THE PANS ON MASTERCHEF. I shall have to send them back.Grin Theirs are the stainless steel finish which has so much less class, so I might get away with keeping them Wink

Impy, have yours arrived yet?

ImpYCelynAndTheIvy · 04/12/2011 10:24

Pans arrived yesterday - Yodel delivered them to someone else who very kindly brought them round.

They're luffly. But I'm not sure why I need a sauté pan and a skillet. I need to think of some new recipes :)

And if I really like them I'll abandon my dreams of an induction hob.

Jux · 04/12/2011 17:03

I have a massive massive massive (saute?) pan with lid which would do paella or risotto for at least 6, possibly 12! I can't actually imagine when I'd use it. I also have a skillet which is lovely and much more manageable; it's been used almost every day since they arrived.

sb6699 · 04/12/2011 17:18

Is anyone else still waiting for their order?

Mine has been with yodel since 24th November and it keeps saying there is a delay due to further carrier processing. It did leave the depot on 30th but went back on 1st December but they hadn't even tried to deliver it. Now there is a further delay due to carrier processing. They were supposed to arrive on 29th fgs!

Tortoise · 05/12/2011 18:31

No sign of dog coat. Wonder who yodel delivered it to. I assume I have to phone.up again to say still not here!

sb6699 · 06/12/2011 18:32

E-mail them. My order was still sitting in the warehouse today and I emailed them this afternoon telling them so they've sent out a duplicate order first class at no additional cost.

Now scheduled to arrive on 8th - we shall see!

Tortoise · 07/12/2011 00:14

Sent email earlier. Yodel confirmed delivered and left in porch! You would think whoever got the parcel would try and get it to me. It's a small town so not difficult plus address is on it!

Tortoise · 09/12/2011 18:23

Dog coat finally arrived! Very cute, slightly big but will be ok.

sb6699 · 09/12/2011 19:10

Got my original order today - eventually! Unsurprisingly the new order didn't arrive - don't think I'll be risking ordering any more Christmas presents from them so I'll be braving the high street on Monday.

Jux · 09/12/2011 19:38

That's odd, though. I read on another thread here (but can't remember which one, sorry) that an MNer's BIL worked for Amazon and they weren't nearly as busy as they would normally be at this time of year.

I've just ordered a load of books for presents, so hope they'll deliver them quickly, esp. as I think I've got a load more to order now.

Tortoise · 09/12/2011 20:18

I'm waiting for another order but only placed it Tuesday morn. All say been despatched so hopefully arrive soon. That's if yodel don't leave it at the wrong address again!

sb6699 · 09/12/2011 21:47

Jux, amazon dispatched my order really quickly - the problem was with yodel, the courier.

Every time I tracked it, it was saying it was delayed due to extra processing and ended up sitting in their warehouse for a fortnight after it was due to be delivered.

Tortoise · 09/12/2011 22:52

sb6699 Yodel left my parcel in someone else's porch! Luckily only a dog coat and amazon did send replacement (by royal mail this time!)

sb6699 · 09/12/2011 23:04

Did you never get the original one back?

Imagine stealing a dog coat!

Tortoise · 09/12/2011 23:21

No, I didn't. And being as I live in a small town that I have lived in for about 25 yrs, I thought it might have got to me somehow! I will be keeping an eye on local dogs clothing!
