i mentioned in my previous post that we recently sent money over to the province for my mother-in-law's hospitalization. well we used the courier service which dubbed itself as king of courier.

we have been using that company so many times in the past. however, last month, the money arrived late and we shrugged it off. but then, we found out this morning that the money which was supposed to have arrived yesterday was still not available.

considering we paid a ton of money just to get that sent, it was really annoying when it doesn't get there on time. on other days, it would have been okay. but not today. nu-uh. my mom-in-law is due to get out of the hospital this morning and naturally they needed the money to pay the bills. we made several calls and they told us the money would probably be available by 4p.m. what??? aren't they under some obligation to deliver the money within the timeframe we paid for.

what if it were a life and death situation?

so. joks and i decided to use banks next time. ugh. i hate it when companies don't deliver what they promise. it's false advertising, that's what it is!
