Sigh...
Disappointing... monday, I ordered online a knitting kit from a somewhat big company. When I still haven't had news from them by friday, I called to see what was up with my order. Their reply was not too surprising but still I was disappointed. They were busy preparing for the BIG Rhinebeck show for this weekend. If I could contact them again on monday, then they'd check if on my order.
Now I am not going to Rhinebeck this weekend but know people that are. If I knew that they couldn't process my order this week, I could have emailed a friend to simply pick up the kit I wanted. Sadly, by the time I learned and finally cancelled my order, everyone was gone for the weekend.
I am disappointed, all week I was hoping to start knitting on this project this weekend but then to learn that my order (however small it is) was not a priority, just didn't make me feel good. I didn't want to wait until monday to then learn they sold out the colorway I wanted and to please wait a few days to give them time to dye more yarn. Ugh!
Ya, I'm not going to Rhinebeck I KNOW! Does it mean, I am not worth having my order processed? I am sad, not mad but a bit peeved, they could have simply indicated on their website that all orders would be processed after the yarn show. Oh wait, there was the fact that they had computer problems and couldn't exactly locate my order but oh well. I was so excited... now instead I need to find a yarn substitution locally. Ha! It'll be hard to read about all the people that bought from them at Rhinebeck. Sigh...
