    Shipping

    Hi fella's

    Just wondered what shipping is like from Microdirect, I usually go there but since im that desperate for 1gb ram, I thought i'd order online. So..what are delivery times like, I ordered this morning around 10am and paid £4.70 delivery, when am I likely to receive?

    Thanks.

    Microdirect are normally 2-3 days, I think.

    I've only used them for Shuttle buying nothing too small.

    Certainly not next day in my experience (about 5 orders, last on in Feb)

    They say order before 4.30pm online to get next day shipping.

    The shipping type says 1-3 days.

    On my order tracking it say's "Pending Administration" any idea's as to what that means?

    I guess I am overdrawn til thursday but have a limit to borrow x amount, that shouldn't get in the way should it?

    Cheers

    If you have a limit to borrow x and the cost is y then as long as you current overdraft is less than x-y you're fine.

    So even though everything will be going well accounts wise, my gear won't have left the premises?

    Such liars, they need to sort their html coding out and tell the truth.

    i've only every ordered off them once,

    i ordered a pc case over a bank holiday weekend so gave them a week or so before i started wondering where my parcel was, called them and they hadn't dispatched it, was dispatched right away, they used amtrac (who were new to the city), and were given the wrong post code on, 4-5 days later amtrac called me to comfirm my address as they hadn't been able to find it on previous attempts, gave them my correct address but offered to pick it up from them on my way to work, got there told them the situation and they couldn't find it so said it must still be on the van, decided to try again next day as couldnt wait around for van, got there next day after calling to make sure package was there to find it was there all along but the guy on the day before looked for it according to where it would be in relation to the original incorrect postcode they had from microdirect before. put straight in my car and drove home. opened up the box to find the case they sent me was not the one i ordered, they had sent a cheaper version of it that didnt have the spec advertised. called microdirect and they assured me they had actually sent me the right case. i pointed out their blatant mis-advertising of the product as i'd bought it for the spec they had written not the spec i recieved, they offered to refund or exchange it. asked for a refund and informed them i'd want a complete refund of my costs including what it would take for me to return it to them, sent it back royal mail special delivery as they instructed which cost £10.12ish, heard nothing from them to say they had received it or any money back in my bank, so called them again (taking several attempts over several days due to their lack of answering their phones in their refunds department when it's nearing the end of the day, the only time i had chance to call due to full time education and then going straight to work) and was told they'd sort it, within next few days found i'd been refunded for case, my return postage but not the original postage of around £5-7 they charged me as it says "not refundable" on the invoice. at this point i'd had enough and decided it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to contact them again and left it at that.

    so all in all,

    i had to wait about 2 weeks for delivery, had to pick it up myself, waste my own petrol on 2 trips to amtrac, lost my day off, was classed as the customer is wrong until he proves himself write or they simply knew they were sending out below advertised spec goods, had to take time out to arrange sending it back, pay for sending it, and then had to get on to them so that they put my refund through.

    and it only cost me £5-7 for the privilege!!! what a bargain!

    suffice to say i wont be ordering from them again


    i just hope for your sake that they type your postcode correctly and send you the right ram, if they do then who knows you may get it within a week

    Are the Amtrak vans normally marked with the company name on, as a transit van with windows all round came on the street unmarked with sacks of stuff in what looked to be goods, the driver stopped and looked around and then drove off

    According to the website it say's despatched, I ordered early enough yesterday to be entitiled to next day delivery, nothing so far

    Grr. Just come off the phone to the very same people. Order was "promised" to ship yesterday so I would have it today. Guess what isn't going to turn up till at least tomorrow?

    And I now have to call customer service to chase up the 3 quid delivery for next day that never happened.

    Not using these muppets again.

    There's nothing you can do mate, other than request your next day charge back.

    At least they have a phone number that you can use to shout at them with, unlike dabs...!
