Missing TV box from quickstart
Moved into my own place and ordered a Virgin package - TV and broadband (and landline I guess - it was much cheaper to include it than not). It was supposed to be delivered by Yodel on Saturday. This went fine - I received emails notifying me of this and a parcel was delivered.
However, inside the parcel was just the broadband hub - no 360 TV box.
I phoned Virgin to explain this (after quite a while figuring out how to - I seemed to come across a lot of references saying to phone the number in your quickstart pack - there was no number in the quickstart pack).
The customer service person appeared fine, stating they would get the box sent out to me and it would arrive on Tuesday. Great - slight hiccup but problem appeared to be solved. (side complaint - I responded to the customer service survey positively about her, but despite the initial message stating text replies would be free, have now found I am being charged for them).
My parents kindly volunteered to stay in the house Tuesday as I was working in the office. Nothing came. I was slightly suspicious as I had received no email confirmation from Virgin or Yodel about it but thought maybe that's what happens if customer service order something instead of you.
Phoned Virgin on the evening - after a frustratingly long hold got through to someone. They understood the issue - could see that I had phoned on Saturday, but it turned out no TV box had been ordered at that time. They then said they would order the box for me, and repeated that it would take 48 hours for it to be delivered. They clarified that I should receive emails from Yodel about the delivery.
It's now (almost) been 48 hours, and as I haven't even received an email about it, am fairly confident nothings coming.
I don't really want to face another lengthy phone call and have no confidence that would resolve the issue as the previous two times haven't despite the reassuring and genuine sounding customer service people. Is posting here a way to get Virgin to send me the TV box or could anyone recommend another route that might have some chance of success please?
