Cass, they took forever to ship me seasons 3 and 4, but I got them a few weeks ago. I ordered something else from the WB store (a birthday gift for Polgara) and they shipped right away. So I'm guessing the extensive delay has something to do with the fact that it's cheap as shit.
Well I ordered them for Nephlet's birthday. Ship date was 8/18. If they'd said they had no idea, I would have never ordered. If they'd had any kind of customer service, I'd have known that when I wrote asking for an update. Instead I have run around for hours and hours today trying to get his birthday present because I leave tomorrow. And I've only got half.
I would have accepted them letting me know proactively. I would have probably canceled my order, but I wouldn't be this pissed. Because I could have ordered elsewhere.
It's just their total lack of customer service that is pissing me off and making me want to take to social networks to bitch.
I get they offered a good sale and got unexpected demand. But they've had my money for a while now and all I have is a lot of road rage because I am trying to cover my ass with the Nephlet.
I even found S5 for a good price. But I wouldn't buy it. They can't have my monies. I am only buying Nephlet the goods (well, S2 right now because I expect to pay more than the sale for S1 but I won't pay $50.) because it's not his fault that I loathe WB right now.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
God, it's the worst customer service and I still haven't heard back from them telling them to cancel my order.
God, I would vent, too. That sucks.
I caved and looked at some spoilery tweeted pictures (although they really weren't very spoilery) but I've not yet watched the other sneak peeks.
And I won't. For real.
::sits on hands::
I read The Tribulation of Chuck because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and the world could use more good Chuck fic, but man, what incredibly OOC Castiel, unsatisfying D/C, and weirdly flat SamandDean. I...uh...I'm going back to bed. That disappointed me.
tomorrow night!!!
I'll be staying with my BFF who doesn't believe in cable tomorrow through Sunday. Luckily I finally got TiVo this week (not just for Supernatural . . . entirely), so I'll just have to stay spoiler free until Sunday afternoon.
The TNT reruns included "Wishing Well" yesterday. I think that may be one of my favorite episodes. "Kneel before Todd!"
I stayed up too late reading a huge cloudyjen fic that posited that Castiel has known Dean since he was a baby.
Considering the entire first part was wee!Dean and NotMisha!Castiel, I actually enjoyed that part, was surprised at how not-creepy Dean and Cas' love was for each other, and enjoyed Cas' friendship with Mary. But, man, the second we get to going through the events we've already seen... I am so not a fan, not in any fic. I mean, here it was mostly just background noise, but to spend the entirety of part 2 waiting for Dean to be raised from perdition, and the repeated machinations as to why Cas has been unable to interfere this whole time, and knowing that it'll take all of part 3 before Cas takes Jimmy as his vessel... I coulda been sleeping. But there are glimpses of brilliance and interesting interpretations of canon and Zacchariah's devious machinations, and Uriel fleshed out as a multi-faceted personality.
It's just
long.
Reversebang art is up (you need to be a member to see). There's some great-assed shit out there.
Julie, is that the Soul Piece story? I couldn't do that one, because of excessive schmoop.
ita,yeah, there was much skimming involved, and way, way too many curtains. I've never been so relieved to read torture scenes.
I didn't get as far as any torture. Just the whole destiny thing put me so off. I prefer a Cas who wasn't really paying much attention to Dean until after he yanks him out of hell. If he chooses then to go back in time and look, that's one thing. But a piece of his soul? Nopers.
