the DVD fiasco

lately i've been trying to order my movie/game DVDs from online (m'sia) delivery sites and my latest attempt using Globla2.com din seem to work out. they did send me the customary mail noting my order but it's been hanging there since last month.

so i tried using Da-tou.com a week ago and.. tadaaa they sent me the confirmation mail within an hr, then called for verbal confirmation the next day. that;'s fast. i was fairly impressed, and made a mental note to use this website preferentially in the future.

then yesterday, during tennis lessons at abt 9am, the Da-tou guy called and said that the delivery would be from 3-4pm at a location of my choice (NUS, obviously). looks like i'll get my stuff without much hassle this time, i thought.

at 3pm, the guy called to confirm my location again and appealed to me to rmbr to pick up my HP when he arrived in a short while so his trip wouldn't be in vain. i assured him that i too, wanted my DVDs and would be there promptly.

the white car appeared in view, the man dispensed to me a blue plastic bag and collected his payment, thereafter zooming off into the distance. all in all, a speedy transaction. i then browsed thru the contents in mild curiosity. hmm? seems like i got less DVDs in total. and some which i din order. weird. then i saw the movie "benjamin button", which i hadn't ordered, and i kind of realised what exactly happened.

i called the guy and asked abt which company he belonged to. Globla2.com was his answer.
