[OT] I dont understand the logic.......

..... behind Consignia

Let me explain....

Current Affairs are not my strong point but I do know the following

1. Consignia is really the Post Office
2. Consignia are in deep doo-doo due to loss of business
3. KAT5 is delivered by the Post Office

Why is this relevant, well, people who have already received KAT5 orders
will know that they arrive in a sturdy cardboard box with "Post
Office"
printed all over it. These are supplied as a sheet of precut cardboard with
origami instructions to convert it into a rigid and robust cardboard box, a
task at which by now I have become quite adept.

Now the problem......

The KAT5 production line has developed a slight hiccup, I've run out of
boxes. Not to worry said I, on Saturday I will go the newly opened Post
Office in the town centre and buy another stock of them. Now its bad enough
that the new Post Office is right in the middle of a pedestrianised area
unlike the old one where you could park outside, but.... the new Post
Office
DOESN'T SELL BOXES. What made it worse was the fact that it was the second
Post Office I had been in today that didnt sell them.

How the hell can the Post Office (or more correctly "Consignia'd to
the
dustbin") expect people to post parcels when they dont stock the boxes
to
put them in!
</RANT MODE>

I also tried WH Smith....zilch. Finally saw a similar box in Partners but
it
was a different make, slightly smaller, and not such strong cardboard. It
was like one I tried before purchasing the Post Office ones.

I didnt buy it though because I know a Post Office where I will be able to
get the "proper" ones, just have to wait til Monday or Tuesday to
get them.
I absolutely REFUSE to pay £2-49 for a box that is inferior to the ones I
normally get at 79 pence each.

This kind of hassle I can really do without :-((
