SERVICE WITH ... AN EMAIL


One day last week I decided to act on a recommendation for a DVD and purchase it from Amazon. The film was the 2013 version of The Great Gatsby. Amazon being Amazon they had it in stock so I ordered it straight away. Standard free delivery was chosen which meant a wait of about five days. Imagine my surprise when I received an email next day telling me it was being delivered there and then. Almost immediately after that, I received another message:

Hello,

We’re going to deliver your order, containing the item(s) listed below,
today.

  "The Great Gatsby [DVD + UV Copy] [2013]"

If there’s nobody in when we arrive we’ll post through your letter box if possible, leave with an available neighbour or in your preferred safe-place, if you’ve previously provided us with those details.

Notice they said delivery TODAY. 

The next message was even more of a surprise

Hello,

Your order, containing the item(s) listed below,
has been posted through your letterbox.
        
  "The Great Gatsby [DVD + UV Copy] [2013]"

If there’s anything we can help you with, please contact Customer Service.
   
 
Actually, I heard the package being pushed through the letterbox so immediately went to collect it. That’s when I noticed the driver in a white van using his phone. Little did I realise he was sending me an email!

How’s that for service, or is it taking things too far?

ADDITIONS TO KINDLE

There is a certain thrill in seeing my books listed on Amazon, a sort of 'can't believe it' feeling. Even if the books don't sell I will still feel proud that they're up there for all to see. Yea, I now have four books on Kindle.  First to hit the publishing field were the animal stories, followed by a novel, and finally a volume of short stories entitled Fiction in Miniature. The stories are of mixed genre and represent the first in a series called Val's Tales

 Once Upon A Time ... a tale of two rescued dogs
Butch describes his new life on a farm. 
Feline Capers
Lee, the cat, shares the details of her daily antics and her new friend.
Trust Not The Vow
A full blown novel set in the fifties, beginning with adolescent infatuation and ending in tragedy.  

Fiction in Miniature
The first volume of the Val's Tales series.
