My sister is so lovely and i often wonder how this woman is related to me but her kid has been banging on about how he wants a switch all year so they bought one for the whole family for christmas and hes cottoned on that it might be coming and hes been living vicariously through switch unboxing videos on youtube in the meanwhile and in a stunningly cruel manoeuvre that reminds me of the young girl who once tied me to a tree and threw eggs at me because i dobbed her in for smoking, shes filled the switch box with his stocking stuffers and put the switch in another box that theyre bringing out once theyve demolished his dreams. Its a classic move from dads playbook that he pulled on us with the mega drive.

I tried to get a customer's SSD RMA'd through Samsung. All the warranty info says "Call 1300 blahblah or visit samsung.com.au". There's no link to contact support on their website, at all and it just tells you to call them. Their phone menu doesn't have ANY choices for computer parts or laptops, the closest thing is Galaxy Tabs. Ended up having to use the chatbot to call a support member in and they gave me an email address to get it done through Samsung Enterprise.

Absolute loving joke.

I would gladly pay $2 more for an otherwise identical product if it clearly lists the support number and IVR options to select for the warranty team on the box.

I'm stuck in zen desk hell at the moment because the chatbots just log a contact form ticket. Typically it takes a couple of days to get an actual response, which never actually helps, and then multiple more back and forth exchanges each taking a couple of days before maybe I get the information I want.

gently caress everything about Centrelink.

Been absolutely hosed around for a month, and I still haven't been paid.
Former employer withheld page 2 of my separation certificate, so my initial claim was knocked back, and I've only just gotten it.
Spent 3 loving hours on the phone trying to get documents to them, in the absolute perfect pristine loving order that they want it, and just constantly put back on hold for 15min at a time while they check uploads.

Now been told it'll take another week to assess, and I can't afford to get anyone presents for Christmas.

Just absolutely dehumanising.

Feeling this, I'm currently on hold to their business services complaints line because I am dealing with them as a business, but because it's regarding a jobseeker claim, they're throwing every hurdle imagimable in front of me. Just reached the operator who pulled up my details and even she remarked that this claim has been "bounced back and forth between departments a lot", the DEWR are powerless to assist me because they can't step in until Cenno is done deciding if this payment I'm mandated to receive is valid, never mind DEWR requirements that I receive it. Hoping I have more luck on this number because the support robot in every other phone queue just parrots that a letter was sent to me 10 days ago (still hasn't arrived) and hangs up on me if I don't want to transfer to the self service system.

Getting transferred to the jobseeker team now, apparently they were waiting on a document (last said it was a phone appointment I'm still waiting for), but it's all good now and nothing pending or required, fingers crossed once someone picks up again.

Couriers Please is the one driving me particularly nuts. I had two parcels sent from the same supplier a couple of days apart. One arrived on 14th but the other one has no tracking information since 16th when it was processed at their Sydney facility. Their tracking tool says it's due for delivery today (it keeps getting moved back), the chatbot says it's not a valid tracking number.

The other two are less important, but I'd still like an actual response before the Christmas shutdown.

Over an hour later, no luck! Complaint lodged, receipt number for it etc, but the most she could tell me about my case was that it can't proceed until I get that overdue contact from the compliance team. So, she put me on hold while she went and dug up their direct number, so that I can call them myself. Surprise! It is the phone number from the most recent letter! The one I called, and explained to, who said I will receive a call from someone I can explain to! Sorry, everyone, cenno says no Christmas this year!

Anyone know a source for ordering reliable actually good usb-c cables that don't skimp out on half the spec or support and won't melt, and also aren't hideously overpriced? Australia's hell for finding sources of that kind of thing.

Amazon is very much not trustworthy, that kind of stuff is just full of fakes.

Oh, yeah. We got the Sonic 2/Quackshot bundle Mega Drive 2 one Christmas and dad pulled the game boxes out of the box to make it look like we got more presents. Too bad for him I'd been learning to read lol. "Dad there's supposed to be games with this???" "Uh..well let's keep opening presents then"
