What is the IQ of the average person at a mail-order place?
Recently I purchaced a hard drive from MacWarehouse. This was
the phone conversation:
Me: I would like to order a hard drive.
SP: What drive would you like to order?
Me: The MacBottom HD45 by PCPC. What color does that come in? The platimun
or the brownish color?
SP: It comes in Platinum or Beige.
Me: Great, I'll take it in Beige.
SP: OK, that will be one MacBottom HD45 in Beige.
Me: Yep.
... Credit Card numbers ... etc ...
Four business days later (not bad, I was happy with the time), my hard drive
arrived for me to play with. I open the box, and (you guessed it) platinum.
I thought I would get used to the color, and it is not worth returning just
for a different color. However, the difference between beige and platinum
is just enough it be very irritating. After a while, I hate looking on my
desk where everything is beige except one box.
Does MacWarehouse screw up orders often?
