I ordered a mid-range GTK3 system on 2nd of January, but needed a Saturday delivery as I work full-time 30 miles from home. After 16 working days, I called Scan on Friday afternoon to ask if it was finished. They said it was ready for dispatch that evening and will be delivered tomorrow - someone will call me.
So I cancelled my plans to wait around this Saturday (26th), but received no contact from delivery company. Scan's customer support sounded stressed and annoyed that I was asking about delivery. She said there was a dispatch number but had no way of checking the progress, they weren't responsible. She wouldn't give me Netsolve's phone number although she gave me their email address (no reply yet). She said she'll ask someone to call me back ASAP but no one did.
I don't mind too much that is wasn't delivered today, but would have appreciated someone telling me not to wait around. After another 5 working days, I hope that it will definitely be delivered next Saturday and cancel more plans.
I understand if you are very busy with a backlog of orders, so why not adjust your estimated time of 10 working days to something more realistic? Or add the total dispatch days so customers can plan ahead?
Are the excellent delivery reviews for DPD, whereas all 3XS systems are delivered with Netsolve? I'm sure the system will be great, but the delivery company and lack of communication really lets it down, poor first impressions.
