Even if there was no strike, he still won’t get his Whirlpool until 2020.
The postie’s are too busy sleeping in the pillar boxes to actually deliver anything.
(And these are the same people who felt that the world would end at 2000 because of either the end of the millennium or because all of the computers would fail.)
Why bother with the vid? I figure that most 2012 doomsday nuts are going to automatically be made aware that they were idiots when they wake up on Dec 23.
Okay, you regulars… I’ve been seriously enjoying the banter in the comments over the last few weeks since I stumbled across FB. I will not try to keep up with you, and I expect a bat or 10 if I jump in at inappropriate times or with lame comments.
Er, okay. Welcome, URConfused. There are three “rules”: Don’t be a troll, be nice (when possible) and have fun! Oh, and the guy using my name in the next fail (without my avatar of Big Ben exploding in the epic move V for Vendetta)? He’s an annoying troll, so ignore him. So, without further ado, enjoy!
As an employee currently wasting work time on failblog I can attest to this kind of fail happening pretty often.. yay us!
P.S. the order shipped 10/15/09 and Joseph is currently enjoying his new Whirlpool glass shelf (I was hoping to see a return on the order for damaged during shipping, but wasn’t so lucky.)
I work for this company this is hysterical! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah our auto email program, sometimes…sucks. I last heard they are working on it but it could take awhile.
amedio3k is right…as i used to work with her there as well. and that is just a generic BO date assigned to the product by the system automatically. it never actually takes that long to ship. the worst i ever saw as a parts expert there was that the part would go NLA or no longer available.
I order parts for whirlpool and have to tell people all the time that the promise date is in 2020. It’s just a dump date for all the parts that are on backorder. It’ll get there eventually, and if not, just ask for a replacement (jk).
i agree. its not one of those deals where they tell you it will come a week later, and then after a decade of waiting it finally shows up on ur front porch.
First we’ll have to build the ship.
I will keep you posted.
What are you going to name it? The Titanic? The Mary Celeste? The Good Ship Lollypop? The Good Ship Venus?
LOL that sux
the failboat?
first we have to invent the device you need a part for. we shall let you know when the inventor is born
Aye aye see what you did there!
You’re eyesight must be … umm … 20/20?
Ooops – “your” fail. What a way to start the week
Sounds about a standard start to mine. Don’t worry about it.
*squeeze*
Wooo! Jammysqueezes … sweet
Erm … but now I’m all sticky. Can I get a Shamwow here, please? Anybody?
*hands Luminous a ShamWow*
*and some toast, in case*
*wipes with the ShamWow and cuts the toast into strips*
Thanks for the “soldiers”, Gerenal
Hehehe!
Better grab some popcorn this could take a while.
Quit your whining you got the part! It was received on the 20th.
*waits*
*still waits*
*waits even more*
I’m hungry, but it’s almost 2020! I can’t go make a sandwich now!
*waits too*
Say, want me to bring a chair and just sit there?
Well.. I suppose it will take some time till u can get a Whirlpool for $35.49
I thought there were eddies in the space time continuum, not full blown whirlpools!
What exactly is Eddy doing in the space time continuum? He knows he’s not supposed to be playing around in there
It’s not a whole Whirlpool, just some glass shelf:

And what does assy mean?
…
This would be quite normal in London, what with the postal strikes that seem to go on for 90% of the year.
true dat brudda
Even if there was no strike, he still won’t get his Whirlpool until 2020.
The postie’s are too busy sleeping in the pillar boxes to actually deliver anything.
Sounds like how long it takes when you order something from woot.com during a woot-off
Well, hopefully that person REALLY wanted it badly.
Who doesn’t want a whirpool REALLY badly?
Dear Joseph,
Just go outside, and look at your mailbox… and wait for it…. WAIT FOR IT!
2020? Who knows the world will still exist after 2012….
I do!
he’ll get them sooner- on 22. December 2012 :p
In case you don’t need your stuff after 2012, can you please leave it all to me? I especially like shiny things (gold, silver, diamonds, etc.)
Thank you.
Ooh! Shinies! I’ll take a few of them.
(And these are the same people who felt that the world would end at 2000 because of either the end of the millennium or because all of the computers would fail.)

Lol, i want one too.
Sorry for double post, but someone should order the exact same thing to see if they get it sooner than this guy.
i want a whirlpool!
whirlpool $35
that’s cheap, I’ll order one for 2021
just like the communist times, I’ll wait 10 years:P
Welcome to Soviet
Russia? Union? What?
In Soviet Russia, joke completes you!
Soviet Russia would have at least told you whether to expect AM or PM delivery, in case you had an appointment with the plumber.
Aw, come on. What’s a few decades between friends?
Haha ! “You shipment of fail will not arrive !”

I predict partstore.com will go bankrupt in 2019
You were off by about 9 years. Partstore closed their doors 2 weeks ago.
General called that one, one post later. Eesh!
What, the estimation doesn’t include a time of day? How unprofessional.
thats a fu8cking long wait, too bad if it was urg.

Where is it coming from? Outer Space?
mars actually.
omg lol omg
i guess it got lost…in a black hole…they’re too optimistic if they think they’ll find it till 2020…
Funny… the name of the person who wanted to order this is my name…
What is this I don’t even?!
I ordered a can of SPAM and they’re saying part of it won’t be delivered until 2020?!
So is part of it meaning the “food” or the “can?”
To save gas someone is walking to pick it up.
Walking at a snails pace innit?
lol
I work for this company this is hysterical! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah our auto email program, sometimes…sucks. I last heard they are working on it but it could take awhile.
yeah, IT say that they’ll fix it by 2049
When I worked there, it was common to give 12/31/2049 as the ETA for backordered parts. Things seem to be picking up!
amedio3k is right…as i used to work with her there as well. and that is just a generic BO date assigned to the product by the system automatically. it never actually takes that long to ship. the worst i ever saw as a parts expert there was that the part would go NLA or no longer available.
Quit your whining you got the part already. It was delivered on the 20th.
why this no win? thiz surely looks like win
But the fail of all fails is in 2012!
What did he order, a freaking flux capacitor?!?!?!

Your part will be available when time traveling is invented. You’ll be sure to have gotten it already.
Ya know, in 11 years hes going to look at it funny and say wtf?
At least they were honest
i agree. its not one of those deals where they tell you it will come a week later, and then after a decade of waiting it finally shows up on ur front porch.
Or keep pushing back the “expected date” one day at a time, every day, so it never actually gets closer. >_<
Dabs.com, I really hate you sometimes.
I can’t tell what he ordered, Australia or Duke Nukem Forever.
Did someone else think about water chips (Fallout)?
JOEY DEGRAW, IS THAT YOU?
This site is so freaking pathetic.
They put this pic up, when mine had the exact same clarity and premise, and mine didn’t even make it to the vote page.
Yes, I am bitter.
you shall receive your part on 2/7/2040
Sorry we missed you! we came by to deliver your part and you weren’t available! we will try again on 2/7/31.
With service like that i doubt they will be in service in 2020!
computer fail for this company!
