goonieman Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Came home from work looking forward to playing my lovely Sterling SB14, delivered by a certain courier company. ...turned out to be a chrome heated towel rack / radiator. New Radiator Day. Can't figure out where or how to plug it in, but it sure doesn't look like the SB14 I ordered. Courier co. have no idea what's going on. Good times. TBC...

uk_lefty Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If it happened to me I wouldn't find it funny... But thank you for sharing, it made me chuckle a bit. Hope your bass appears soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonieman Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 LOL. Yeah, Can't imagine drying oneself with a mildy rusty, gene-encrusted piece of stainless steel and polyurethane is going to be satisfying. I shan't reveal the courier co., but I will say it won the 2015 Which? best delivery company in the UK. You do the math. To their credit, the updates and service (up until that point) was probably the best I ever received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goonieman Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Glad we can all laugh about it. Good news is they found it in the end: a wonderful SB14 sterling! The radiator has been returned. All is good again in SE London, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
