| 1274473 | 2012-05-10 03:52:00 | A while ago, I purchased some capacitors from RS Components . While they were coming from UK and took 7-10 days, after receiving nothing from them for about 2 weeks, I called and asked what had happened . They told me that they had been delivered and that I had signed for them - of course, this was not true . Interestingly, track-and-trace website showed not a signature, but a mess of random lines . RS told me they had lodged a claim and sent a free replacement . I received those a week later but they had been squashed and were totally useless . Meanwhile the courier had told me he'd delivered them, but someone had come around the side of the house and signed for them . I was suspicious of this as I had never even seen a courier van in the vicinity that previous week . On the third time I got lucky, I got the 2nd replacement lot of capacitors, no damage, and everything was fine . And that was the end of it . Or so I thought . Today, a plain white van, no courier logo, not even a rental logo or anything turned up and a package was delivered to the letterbox . . . Turned out to be that original capacitor order that was apparently given to someone else from the start! The best bit? I made that order 2 YEARS ago! So there you have it . NZ Couriers officially gets my vote as New Zealand's slowest courier service . :p |

This is amazingly good service. 2 years later they had not forgotten you and were still searching for the package!!!! |

| 1274482 | 2012-05-10 09:25:00 | Can they deliver this slowness with consistency and a high level of mangling? If they can, Swiss Post will have to look to their laurels (dictionary.cambridge.org). ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
