grrr… no overnight shipping for me
I mentioned yesterday that on Friday I ordered a MacBook from Apple. Later that evening, I called back and asked if I could upgrade the shipping. The Apple representative that I talked to (I have his name and e-mail, but I’ll keep that to myself for now) told me sure and gave me the price. I gave him the credit card number and we hung up. Problem solved, right?
Not so fast… I called back a few minutes ago because I still haven’t received any type of order confirmation or receipt. Since this was purchased on a company credit card, I sorta need that. This time, I spoke to a helpful woman named Emily. Emily pulled up the order and let me know that the representative who took my order was “an idiot”. Apparently, the MacBook is coming from overseas and, according to Emily, there’s no way they can ship it overnight. In addition, due to the closings of various schools (I work for an .edu), they’re “putting a hold” on their orders until after Christmas.
I’m not sure what that means entirely, other than it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting familiar with the new MacBook over the Christmas holiday. That kinda upsets me, to be honest — probably much more than it should, but I want my new toy now! =)
I’m gonna close my office door and cry now. =)
