Aloha everyone,

I'm out most of the day rushing around.

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone. I am waiting in for the cooker repair man today. It is such a shame they can’t at least say am or pm

Have a good day everyone.

 

Well just had to say he turned up before 2 replaced the elements but has to come back with 2 new fans.! He has got the fan in the main ovengoing again, a bit slow but going and he should be back next week with the parts..! So not complaining.!

 

I think I've mentioned before that I don't stand for undefined times for workmen or deliveries.

Workmen get a two hour slot but I usually ask for the first slot of the day and get it. With workmen/repairs I only employ local people and ones that need to keep their reputation. I find recommendations from the local web forums and if they haven't done a good job then people say so on the forum. I've recently had a plumber, electrician, new boiler installation and, currently, a decorator from that site. All of them were good as they know that they would get a bad report if they weren't.

Other organisations like the electricity company also get a two hour slot to come and read the meter. They tried to tell me that they could only give me a day and not a set time. I replied that if my doctor, dentist, chiropodist can give me an exact time then a meter reader can. They tried to ignore me with it until they found that I wasn't there on the three occasions that they gave me days they would turn up - after I had given them a time limit. They tried to argue that by law I had to let them read the meter and I replied that I had given them three opportunities to do so but they had not taken me up on it. They turned up on time after that!

 

Well this was my fault really @shiney as I booked it on line as I was in a bit of a hurry.. In future I will phone as I normally get some idea of time that way. .

I have been with this company for years and they really are very good.. It was me trying the online booking in a bit of a rush thinking I could get a time slot, but turned out it was greyed out and I couldn’t. As it was I had just finished my work and was just thinking “hurry up” and there was a knock at the door..!

 

Yes, I also prefer to book by phone and don't do online booking. I'm a bit of a dinosaur that way, if I can't talk to a person I don't use them. Emails are fine for sorting out details but arranging appointments etc. I always do by phone. I like to hear the tones in their voice to see how good they are at customer service. This must go back to when I trained my staff in how to talk to customers .
