DSC03737.JPGThe inconsistencies of some places drive me mad.... I've bought a lot of stuff from many places overseas and sometimes it's a piece of cake and other times it's near impossible. And often from the same dealer.

Morons working at some places are also a problem.... As some of you may know I own a bicycle shop and am constantly purchasing spare parts for servicing and repairs. One of the items I have to change a lot is brake cables, so I buy them in a box of 100 from one of my regular suppliers. I ordered a box a few weeks ago along with some spokes for a pair of wheels I'm rebuilding and was really surprised when the parcel turned up a few days later. In the box with the spokes was a single cable with a label wrapped around it stating that it was "Dispenser Box - Box of 100"!

Now what idiot could be that stupid to put a sticker around one cable that says it's a box of 100?

Then what other idiot grabbed that and packed it in my order without realising it?

Then what idiot checking the order would invoice me for 100 when there is obviously only one in the box?

I emailed them and it's sorted out now, but how many other orders were stuffed up by these idiots?
