Delivery debacle

I'm hoping that this will be the only blog post with the word debacle in it! The hardware wallas managed to send to of the four orders (there is a seperate order for each department), on the wrong days. The sheet materials (gyprock and weatherboards) arrived on Friday 16 January at Cargo wharf. The barge is not picking them up until Thursday 22nd Jan. I didn't find out that it had been delivered until yesterday - so they've been sitting there uncovered, unsecured, and leaning at an angle against a wall. I checked it out yesterday afternoon and a lot of it was badly bowed. A few urgent calls to H&G and (so far so good), they have accepted that it was their stuff up. They'll pick it all up again today and re-deliver a new batch tomorrow (I'll be checking closely!!). The other shipment they got wrong was the gutter and roofing. That arrived yesterday. It looked to be in good condition and complete. I grabbed the small box of guttering brackets, ends and nozzles as well as the roof insulation because I could carry it home (with the help of the community vehicle). The rest would stay until H&G could pick it up today. Major disaster averted (I hope)!
