Despite that I have been very excited and anxious for the arrival. Today they sent me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; an email<br>&#8211; a text<br>&#8211; a robo call <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These all came in during the same 60 seconds window and they all tell me the same thing: &#8220;IT&#8217;S TIME TO SCHEDULE YOUR DELIVERY!&#8221; Hell yeah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It specifically says I can schedule this online so I click on the custom link in the email and it takes me to a page with all my order details. It then asks me to click a button to send me a super secret code to my email so they know it is really me. I am ok with MFA, but you just made me send a super secret code to the same email address that had the custom link you sent me. (Seriously, WTF?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I do it. It takes me to the Schedule Your Delivery page. I click on the button to schedule my delivery where it tells me I have to call their customer care delivery people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I blinked my eyes a few times but it still says to call their customer care delivery people. <em>Goddammit. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I called in and I spoke to a woman who took my order number and started calling me Mr. James, which annoys me as it makes me feel like a plantation owner, but I don&#8217;t say anything because I just want to get this scheduled and go on with my day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lady tells me &#8220;the Manager is still doing the schedule, but I should be able to call you back in about an hour with the date and time.&#8221; Great. I thank her for her time and hang up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She does not call me back after 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She does not call me back after hours 2-5 either. Mr. James is getting annoyed. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I call back and get the exact same lady. &#8220;Oh Mr. James, the manager is still working on the schedule, but it should be done soon and you&#8217;ll get an email confirmation when it&#8217;s done. <em>It shouldn&#8217;t be long now<\/em>.&#8221; Not awesome, but I again thank her for her time and hang up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 30 minutes later, and all in the same 60 second window I get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; an email<br>&#8211; a text<br>&#8211; a robo call<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can see from the text notification it&#8217;s from this company, but I am in a meeting so I have to wait until it is over. But I will admit to smiling because finally I&#8217;ll know when it will be here. Eventually the meeting ends and I go check all these communications I have received. They all say the same thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;IT&#8217;S TIME TO SCHEDULE YOUR DELIVERY!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And&#8230; that&#8217;s it. This is not a confirmation of it being scheduled. It&#8217;s the same fucking email from this morning. They&#8217;re hassling me to get off my ass and get this thing scheduled like it&#8217;s my goddamned fault &#8220;the Manager&#8221; can&#8217;t get their work done in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please, next Tuesday at 9 AM, please schedule a meeting for &#8220;Stick Your White Glove Delivery Up Your Ass.&#8221; Send me a Teams invite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a delivery coming that I where I am being forced into using a white glove install.
