Where did you read that computer shops are open?
Posts from Splinter in thread „Covid-19 and online shopping“

The trick I always use is to see if the vendor gives any hint as their identity (you already know where they are) and if you really must pay through ML, select 'collect myself', then jump on the bike.
Alternatively, hire a friendly bike courier so you know you will definitely receive the goods.
-
To be fair, the tobacconist has nothing to gain by screwing their customers, but ML's alleged normal delivery is a fucking joke. I kept receiving messages saying 'your order will be with you today' etc, but today didn't come until five days later.
I'm not risking another ML delivery and will collect stuff myself from now on, in that at least I can trust me.
I also realise that baccy is not essential, but once you're addicted...
-
What bugs me is ML saying that deliveries are normal, which they are not. It took five days for my baccy to travel 11kms, which was before I got the certificate.
It's also the first time ever that I've had stuff delivered as I always go to collect, bypassing ML if I can.
Here are some recent comments about this on the Tabaqueria Inglesa advert.
-
From Olivos to UK Man's place (and back of course) is about 340 kms and if I use the most economical bike courier rate of say $10 per km, you're looking at a hefty price.
I'm not sure what ML robots are quoting and it would be interesting to know out of idle curiosity.

ok I help u kids....
The country is in lockdown.....most services not working as they used to.......might be delivering services work in capital, but I doubt that the frequency of transport hundred of kilometers away from capital is as usual......
So a map would have told u , Splinter lives closer to the city.....much closer....
It would also work the other way, if someone wanna order eggs from the farm next to UK Man , delivery in capital, I guess would also take a little longer!!!!
Are both of u drunk at 12 noon????
That (using a map) doesn't tell us which delivery services are working and which ones aren't. Anyway, with the correct authorisation - ddjj - any delivery service can operate almost anywhere.
-
are u guys trolling me?
Doesn't a map explain it all????
No it doesn't.
Why don't you put us out of our misery and explain yourself @JAN ?

Tabaqueria Inglesa use MercadoEnvios, sub contracted out to a delivery firm, but it wasn't a motorbike service.
You can use a Mercadolibre filter switch when searching so that it only shows products that have normal deliveries.
No idea what
@JAN is on about. -
On ML they are selling 3M facemasks for $1680 each.
-
Miraculously, the package turned up a couple of hours ago.

It's a universal troll smiley.

It’s happening everywhere. My US doctor is still waiting for medical supplies overnighted (ha!) via FedEx on March 25 from a pharmacist just 400 km away, Anticipated delivery date is now April 15.
If your ML delivery takes that long, Splinter , you’ll have kicked the habit by the time it arrives!Five days to do 10 kilometres?
Hmm, kicking the habit?
-
My baccy was sent last Wednesday and cost $350 for delivery.
It still hasn't fucking arrived.

@JAN
Clearly, Friday was a total cock-up by the government who should have foreseen it, bearing in mind that so many pensioners insist on cash and queue up at banks anyway. They already knew this and couldn't or wouldn't recognise it.
My point was that, if everyone does their bit, it all adds up. Even one person fucking around puts hundreds at risk.
-
On the other hand, when I put this I relation to what happened friday, I find it quite unimportant!!!!
It's not unimportant at all, because it all adds up.

In my local Coto it's practically the same. There are no controls over the number of people that enter, the staff DO NOT practice social distancing with each other and the shoppers don't either.
Of course it's possible that one customer would complain in the face of such apathy and in fact, she did call and the implication is that she created a target on he own back as a troublemaker.
There's also the implication that the police are in cahouts with the staff.

serafina you know the news and link is from pagina12?
Hahaha.......
Just the way it's written I need to laugh.....
I refuse to comment on the credibility .....
But I would be really happy to see the security cams documenting the whole happening......like the two lesbians that got arrested for being lesbian in the subway..... hahaha
As far as it goes for the customer service, efficiency, products, prices etc. etc., I don't think COTO is different than any other supermarket.....not better not worse..... just Argentinian!
I don't know any supermarket here in Argentina that is not "Argentinian"......if there was one, I would go there.....
I see no reason to believe that this woman is lying and neither do I believe that Pagina 12 is, either. I'm well aware of Pagina 12's reputation as a K publication, but judging from my sometimes hostile experiences in Coto, this come as no surprise. The police? It does still happen, but we never hear about it.
-
@JAN, the Trump supporter now backing Coto.
Cool.
-
Whilst I applaud Mr Coto's achievements, it's about time he tackled his staff attitude which is apathetic to say the least and often verges on 'I could give a fuck'. He should also look at the cleanliness of his stores and the meat selection is absolutely shit, being bottom of the pile most of the time.
Shopping at Coto is an unbearable experience and the only reason I go is for the 40% booze discount and its proximity for emergencies.
