Pissed off with CC, and No. 88, SO F)(*&^* MAD

Sorry guys but I just got home, late night and its close to 1am in the morning here in Vancouver, I spent the last couple of hours trying to find a blank video cassette to tape the opening game of the World Cup. I just got home right now and I'm really pissed off.

Got home and my bottle of No. 88 just arrived at my house. I'm so F*&^%*(^ing pissed off right now. Sorry, I don't get mad easily but Cambridge Chemists is the worse company I've dealt with.

It all started with them cancelling my order because of a few recommendations I wrote in the comment box during checkout. I just gave them some hints to avoid problems with duties/customs because of the over the boarder shipping. Then I wrote back saying ship the bottle however you like, but you didn't need to cancel my entire order, I'm very flexible and we could work something out. 28.00 USD down the toilet for a piece of c*&p shipping. Got taxed another 40.00 CAN at the door. Overall, payed 180 CAN for the bottle. Just opened the package, they included some old man soap as an extra but some of the juice leaked on the side. WTF........... is going on.

I honestly don't know what to do, I'm going to contact them in regards to my leaky bottle, and those familiar with the bottle, the sticker around the neck of the bottle is all wet from the juice. F*(K!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although as I'm typing right now, I can smell it all over my fingers, smells amazing, really cold and dark. But it smells identical to my friends Playboy Night Cologne he used to have, plus guess what, not only do they smell similar, their bottle designs are the same

Sorry for the rant, late night, going to bed, I'll write something more sensible tomorrow.

UPDATE

First of all, I have to apologize for my first post. I just re-read it andWOW.what was I on or what was I not on and should have been on. I guess I really got upset and wasnt thinking straight, late night. Sometimes, I get pissed just because I live in Western Canada and I have to pay these overpriced crapping shipping costs. I just bought Geir at Luckyscent and the shipping alone cost me 25 USD. Id like to buy Sequoia as well, but I often get discouraged with shipping costs.

Anyways, the whole night was messed up to begin with. It first started with trying to find a store that sold blank VHS tapes so we could record the opening ceremonies of the World Cup the next day. We got back to his place and it took us hours trying to set up his auto-timer thing on his VHS. I kept getting these flashbacks from that one scene in Office Space. Where they finally quit their jobs and take out all their rage on the fax machine with a baseball bat. Anyways, I had to drive back and fourth between homes to get wires, etc.. I really wanted to get home but I decided to stop at the bank for cash because it was on my way. Gas prices are through the roof here, and when you pay 25 to 28 USD for shipping, you got to save somewhere. This one drugged up homeless guy asks if he can use my phone outside the bank. I had it in my left pocket but I didnt really trust the guy, I instead offered a quarter so he could use a pay-phone. He pretty much dropped the conversation, and when I finally got into the bank, this one guy took up the whole machine or two. The guy was still in his business suit half past midnight making some money transaction or something. He said one of the machines didnt work (or he screwed it up) and I waited for at least 20 minutes.

I finally walked out pissed and the homeless guys buddy, who was pretty much shooting it up before in the corner tried selling me some headphones out of a Best Buy plastic bag. I said sorry as those earplug headphones dont work well with me. Anyways, Id really like to help those guys but Id rather give them sandwich then money for a sandwich. I left a McDonalds drive-thru a couple days ago, and say this one guy going through a garbage bin, I rolled down my window and gave him my fries, because I never end up finishing them anyways. My friends will offer cigarettes if they see them picking up cigarette buds off the ground but I also shy away from giving cash.

Then I got home, pissed and tried and my bottle of No.88 leaked on the side with the 40 dollar customs damage. I was able to get back a 50 USD refund from CC, BTW there located in New York. I didnt buy it from C&S in London. A lot of BN members recommend CC for the cheapest price and best service. I guess it works differently if you live across boarders. Overall we started off with a bad foot, somehow through confusion my order was cancelled and I got pissed because I didnt even get a sorry, instead a one line response from of the SRs saying Give us your address. I guess something bad was going to happen, all this bad karma. Really sad, as I dont think Im welcomed to buy there anymore. I was going to make a stop by their shop in NY if I go there this summer, but Im afraid Id get shot on site, and thats just from asking if I could use their washroom. I really wanted to check out C&S Cuba.

I havent tested No. 88 yet; I went to bed at 4am in the morning and had 3 hours sleep. But from what I smelt on my fingers and the sillage produced in my room from the leak, I was really happy. I thought it would have worked perfectly last night, while driving through the cold, dark, empty and rainy streets of the bad part of Vancouver roaming with drug addicts, but it didnt work out. I went scentless today; I really didnt fell like wearing anything.

BTW: Ill write a short review later but it smells reminds me of Playboys Night Cologne that my friend used to wear and whats scary is the bottles look almost identical. I think Hugh Hefner might of done a ripoff of No.88. The only thing I got against the No. 88 bottle is the cheap thin metal cap. You can basically mold that thing with your hands.
