I’ve just had a note from Amazon to say that the gift I ordered for Secret Santa will not be despatched in time for Christmas, and that I’ve been awarded a £5 gift token as compensation.
This is interesting, as five days ago I had a note to say that it had already been sent. This means one of the following must be true:
- the gift has been despatched and yet I’m £5 to the good
- the gift has been despatched, I’m £5 to the good and the recipient is going to get a second one which they can then sell, although my credit card may be debited twice
- the gift has not been despatched, the recipient will think they’ve been ripped-off by their Secret Santa and I’m £5 to the good
- the Amazon system is totally borked and yet I’m £5 to the good
We shall have to wait and see.
I was £5 to the good last christmas for a late Moulin Rouge DVD…
YEAH…WHATEVER!!!
