Well I’ve bought 2 recently… the first was a Kodak Zi8 HD camcorder thing which I either got pick pocketed or left on the train back from London a few weeks ago – either way, it’s gone and no one anywhere has handed it in.
So, I was looking for a good camera and found one, actually there were two, but the lower model number was far better bang for you buck than the top of the range. This was the Samsung ST500, and as Fenny described it – it went all 
the way to 11!
But what was more important, I got it an awesome price from Amazon. Also, if I signed u
p for the trail of Amazon Prime, I’d get it delivered next day for free!
I ordered it Wednesday night and cringed when I saw the courier was CityLink whom I believe to be the most useless courier in the UK!!
Sure enough, first thing Thursday morning I get an email stating it would be with me around Friday lunchtime… I tracked it anyway to the local distribution point and like with all things CityLink – everything turned to Sh*t!!! It arrived in Exeter originally at 05:05 am – this later changed to 05:55 am, more then enough time to get it to me…
It’s Monday evening, and the CityLink office has had it for 4 days and not once have they tried to deliver it! Heck, they could have posted it from there and I would have got it Saturday!!
So I’ve emailed Amazon, I’ve told them that I’ve unsubscribed from their ‘Prime’ until such time they removed CityLink from their courier list and told them no to deliver it under any circumstances! I also told them I expect a prompt refund of my money.
Of course, the reality is tha
t nothing will change, CityLink are a cheap company, Amazon rarely actually care and as such I see it as a simple parting of the ways.
But let me be absolutely clear about this, and I can back up what I say. CityLink ARE the worst courier in the UK and you’d do well to avoid any use of these people at all!!!!
