...when I order parts and I get the shipping notification and tracking number. Then, when I check said number I get back, “the shipping label has been printed.”
Fuck it pisses me off. Two different retailers have done it this week alone.
I used to work for a sleaze in the SuBaRu (<- that was an auto correct, lulz) world. He would have the shipping guy print the tracking slips a week out to make the customer think we were timely. Then tried to instruct me to tell customers that it must be a problem with FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL and most certainly not that we haven’t even finished producing the order.
It’s shady, it pisses people off, and it makes me not shop with those retailers again.
