I waited for 16 days

The best part of shopping online is when the goodies arrive. This time, I waited for 16 days. I was still excited when the parcel arrived though. But I remembered to drop a note (below) via the ‘Hubungi’ form, as a constructive feedback.

Assalamualaikum,

Saya telah membeli beberapa buah buku daripada Bookcafe.com.my pada 23 Jun 2009 lepas dan baru menerima parcel tersebut hari ini, 9 Julai 2009 (16 hari). Pada Nota Konsainan Bungkusan Pos Malaysia tarikh bungkusan dipos ialah 3 Julai 2009. Saya berpendapat 16 hari adalah tempoh menunggu yang agak lama. Saya bertujuan menghadiahi seorang rakan sekerja yang baru bersara beberapa buah buku yang dibeli itu, dan hampir-hampir sahaja tidak sempat berbuat demikian 'by person' (mungkin terpaksa pos) kerana hari ini hari terakhir beliau di tempat kerja.

Apa-apa pun, saya seorang pembaca dan peminat setia PTS.

Terima kasih.

Anyway, the retired colleague (now ex-colleague) mentioned above cooked lunch for us that day, and it wasn’t just a simple lunch. There were at least 10 delicious dishes! The department administrative executive (also known as the secretary) already indicated interest that she would like to order food from her for future department events. As had several other colleagues, for personal events. And I told her, “Saya dah kata dari dulu kak, akak memang boleh buat bisnes catering ni!” All the best to her :)
