"Recently ordered" LOL

Ordered back in February, delivery estimate 2nd week of June.

Factory delays meant the car didn't reach the dealership until the end of July.

Wanted it registered with a cherished plate (which I was assured wouldn't be a big deal).

Found out on Monday just gone that the dealership still hasn't completed the registration forms.

Fml.

Huh. Weird. I was talking to someone in a car thread on here who's having a similar issue. I've never had an issue with a custom order Mercedes. Though, incidents such as yours and the other guy's makes me wonder if that's why the bulk of purchases are done off the lot these days.

That was also me :D

I was feeling frustrated at the time, so posted it here too. I guess most people would be frustrated given that as of today, it's been approx 7 months since I ordered my car.

7 months. For a frickin' diesel E-Class with 3 options ticked off. Fun fact, I've seen more powerful, better optioned versions of my car going for sale for less than what the dealer wanted for mine. Wow!

**** Mercedes Benz.

I haven't ordered them per se as they're not even available in Australia but someone in the UK has ordered for me.

Not forking out the cash for the Apple ear buds and my current set just died. I have been wanting to try out the completely wireless experience though.

Wife's iPhone 6s died suddenly and she didn't want to buy a new phone. I've been wanting to upgrade so i bit the bullet and ordered an iPhone 8 64gb space grey. She's happy to get my old iPhone with way more storage then hers had.

i am thinking of buying LG OLED55B7P! why didnt you go for LG? i have heard LG Oleds are the best tv out there!
The answer is very simply price. There was a really good deal on the Philips TV this weekend so I decided to go for it. If they had both been the same price I would have chosen the LG B7.

Picture quality wise they are extremely similar, as they use the same panel. The main difference is that the image processing should be a tiny bit better on the Philips (although I'll probably turn that off) and the LG supports Dolby Vision, which I'm a little sad about not getting. However, I figured I could bank the difference in price and upgrade again a little earlier than I would with the LG and then get something much better again in the future.

There are also other differences between the two TV's such as the industrial design, which way the ports are oriented, OS and so forth where they each have their advantages, but all of that more or less comes down to personal preferences.

Wonder if/when the US will get that model. Seems to currently be UK only!
My guess is that it has something to do with how Philips works now. AFAIK they have sold a large chunk of their business, and TP Vision bought the rights to use the Philips brand in Europe, which could explain why it is available here and not in the US.

Thanks :D

A whole house worth of this kind of laminate. Install date is still a bit away, but I'm moving furniture around the house now so that way when the install date does arrive, I'm not scrambling at the last minute. We've decided it's worth it to basically just have a bed in each bedroom and nothing else for a bit until this gets done, then we can put everything back together.
