Best ever dispatch email?
« on: 29 September 2016, 16:20:48 »
Ordered something from an indie automotive company today, already on it's way, this was the dispatch email:

Hi tunnie,

Your product has been gently taken from our shelves with soft cotton gloves and placed on a cushion for its journey to the packing area.

A team of 4 packers thoroughly inspected your item and polished it to ensure it is in the best possible condition before beginning the packing process.

Our packing specialist from Sweden lit a scented candle and demanded silence from everyone in the office. A perfect ambiance is required to allow him to achieve packaging perfection.

Once completed, we all had a wonderful celebration and the team marched to the delivery company, waving and spreading good cheer as we journeyed through Swansea. Everyone applauded, shouted Bon Voyage! and hugged one another as the van left.

Your parcel is being cared for by DPD Carrier Service. It should be with you within 1 working day.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, in my experience DPD are absolutely brilliant. You can set your watch by their delivery times.

Seriously. I get an email saying "James or Fred or or whoever" will deliver between 13.32 and 14.32. I wait on the doorstep at 13.33 and the van pulls up. Every time  :y

Have to agree there, excellent service. As you say gives you an exact slot, you can see on a map exactly where their driver is too. Never had any issues personally, but I will prob regret saying that now.

Exceuse me gents, but this is OOF where we are morally obliged to slate all courier companies.  Any praise of one is in breach of the site rules I am pretty sure ::)
