Battery and Alternator problems

I have a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T. I just had the battery and alternator replaced and the car ran great for a few days, now the car has died and won't turnover at all. Is there any other issues that could be affecting it?

I would get a current draw test done on the electrical system, this will help identify any system that is drawing excessive current with the ignition off, if you have a multi meter and know how to read it, i can walk you through it process.
