Still haven't got my CT!!!!!!!!!!
« on: July 13, 2012, 05:51:40 PM »
I'm not sure what the swearing policy is on here so I'll err on the side of caution, so as not to offend.  When you see ## please imagine your favourite expletive (or a combo) inserted there.

I'd arranged to collect my CT tomorrow.  The guy said "If you can get cash, that'd be cool and save me a couple of bucks."  I went to the govi office and got a permit to pick up an unregistered vehicle, then went to the NAB for a cash advance on my MC.  When they told me it'd cost an extra 2% interest on the amount, I said "Don't worry about it then."

I rang the guy and told him I'd have to pay on the MC after all.  When he told me his eftpos machine had ** itself, and it was cash or a bank cheque only, I said ** and then **!!

It's a 3 1/2 hour drive one way to pick it up and if I hadn't called him it would have been for nothing!

** and **!!

Rant over!  Maybe next Saturday??

Thanks for reading,

Dave.

Can't they still do manual transactions like they used too. I thought the old swipe machines were still for backup.  :cheers:

yup, when i used to have an electronic terminal for my online business they gave me a manual machine, the only draw back was i had to ring a 1800 number to approve anything over $200 or we ran the risk of having it reversed on us (it happened twice in 3 year)

Thanks lads.  I don't really like the manual ones as there's a nice copy of your MC left behind.  I'll chill out and hope he's got it sorted by next Saturday.

I just hate waiting for stuff!

Yep, the wait really is painful.  You look forward to collecting a new toy, to have it sitting there waiting for aonther week.

But, you will have a great time when you do get it  ;D
