Yes, I phoned 458282. (Was that the right place to go, then? I assumed they'd either be able to send me a black box or tell me who I should be asking, but it wasn't clear which.) I don't know whether my somewhat confused message will manage to turn into an intelligible jobcard; it might perfectly well be my own fault if it doesn't.
Yes, that was the right place :/ The Helpdesk is in the same room that the Rangers are based in :p
FWIW phoning between 9 and 3:30ish will leave you most likely to get through to A Real Person, I think (8-9 has everyone faffing around and dealing with logs etc, and for the last half-hour much the same is true). So... hopefully, your message will get turned into a jobcard early tomorrow morning, and hopefully it'll get passed on to someone who'll deal with it in the next week or so.
*sigh* Well... I know it's not much comfort from your position, but I've witnessed at least two 30-minute turnarounds on such orders: they phoned just as we were dropping by the office (for a cup of tea. Um.), so we dealt with them almost straight away.

They *can* be efficient. Really.
(Argh. Far too many smilies.)
