Not only the Pink paint in bad supply...

The one that must be obeyed (her-in-doors) Eventually, after weeks of faffing, decided on a Dell laptop in Tuxedo Black, and was told delivery would be by the 30th July (Three weeks!).

Having spent so long deciding she decided to wait... The 30th came... and went... then she called to find out what was going on, she got a revised delivery date of 14th August (another 2 weeks)... No apology...

When the 14th came and went, she called again to be told of a newly revised date of 7th September (three more weeks!), this time they explained that some "parts" were in short supply.... She eventually cancelled the order on the 20th August. Again, no apology for the delay, no trying to "keep" the sale...

Is it just me, or should a laptop take less than 8 weeks to build?

A call to say the XXXXX is out of stock be we could substitute YYYYYY and have it with you next week is obviously too difficult...
