Because they CERTAINLY don't want me to have my new turbo jet engine blender to make smoother brown and/or green smoothies. I was very excited when my blender arrived (promptly) yesterday morning. I open the box to pull out 600 watts of shiny new smooshing power and, hey, wait a minute -- the cheap plastic lid that goes on the top of the swell glass blending jar is already smooshed. To little bits.
So I go online and go through the internet return/replacement process (which does not allow me to communicate either orally or in ewriting) to let them know what happened. And they very nicely etell me that they're sending a replacement, like instantaneously, and does this solve my problem? I etell them, no, not really, because now we are mailing two identical blenders through the universe unnecessarily, when all I really need is a lid. They erespond with a version of "sorry, we don't have the ability to open the box and just send a lid." So okay, whatever, I can give my mail lady the blender box with the return label. I'll manage. That was yesterday.
This morning, I am pleasantly surprised to find that Amazon has managed to get my replacement blender to my doorstep already. They're good when they want to be. Yippee! I'll be drinking the smoothest greenest smoothies ever by lunch. I open the box. Yep. You guessed it. The lid is almost identically smooshed to bits. Sigh. Someone does not want me to blend.
So I just went through the return/replacement process again. What do you think the chances are that they will (a) find a way to send me just a lid, or (b) send a blender that doesn't have a broke-ass lid? Will I have to return 1, 2, or 3 blenders? Please vote in the comments, as I don't have time to install a poll gadget this morning.
I think you may have found a way to eat peas!
ReplyDeleteAre smoothies replacing meals or extra supplements?
We had superbe herb & garlic laced heirloom bean soup made by Melisa, and had a nice green salad with orange segments, cranberries, almonds& reduced fat feta in acpeppery vinaigrette
Did I NEED a way to eat peas? I don't think so. No peas, not now, not ever, in my smoothies. The spinach works just fine. The smoothies replace meals and/or snacks -- don't need more food, just trying to fill up with better food. That salad is my standard, except that I use pine nuts. Love feta!
