Ebuyer Woes
It is very rare for me to do a blog entry on the Real Life, however recent times have prompted me to talk about the technology store Ebuyer and how it sucks for first time users looking to make a quick delivery!
Now earlier in the week one of my uncles came to my house (he only lives down the road) and was looking to get an iPod for my aunt’s birthday (the birthday has not happened yet, but they don’t have an internet connection so posting this blog entry is a safe bet…). The iPod he was looking for was a pink one. Luckily Apple introduced a pink version a couple of weeks back so it was all good.
We decided to try out ebuyer. I had heard about this site before and I thought it was a trusted source for a quick order. The delivery was set to arrive on Thursday and I thought, cool we can get the iPod stuffed with songs for a week and everything will be fine.
On wednesday we get a phone call asking about added Identity Verification. So I sent over ID proving who I was over email and it took about 17 hours for a reply saying UTILITY BILL UNVERIFIED. So I send another one straight away and after 24 hours there was no reply. I cancelled the order over the phone and thought to myself that this is not a good way to do delivery. It is not really user friendly for a first time user who wants to get something Quick and Easy.
Maybe I was just an unlucky one. But today I got the nano from a store and that was no hassle at all. The only problem I had (this is just stuff that bugs me…) was them saying that you need to charge the iPod up when you get home blah blah blah… in my personal experience of using 4 iPods… NEVER has one had no battery life. It was not different this time.
Anyway heres some photos of the pink iPod nano 8GB
