The office chair I use for working at my computer broke a couple of days ago. (I'm using a dining chair at the moment, which is not a good solution.) Ordered a new chair through Amazon yesterday, and the company selling it have sent me an e-mail:
Your order is due for delivery
between 12:33-13:33 today
I wonder why the strange precision in the times.
Update
It arrived 12:40. The guy asked if I'd been warned it was arriving and I mentioned the times in the message. All done by computer, he reckoned, and the times were usually accurate.
However, when I came to assemble the chair, there were no bolts to hold it together. Went to e-mail the company that supplied it through Amazon, and my broadband connection stopped working. After half an hour, I phoned my ISP, and whilst I was on the phone, the connection came back. He said there were problems all over the south east today. Must be the weather.
The company replied to my e-mail and said they'll send me the missing bits.
