    Christmas Delivery over this busy period!

    Parcels arrived on time over Xmas/New Year and all the bank holidays?


    I decided to treat myself and buy HL2 Collectors Edition....

    Hows this for service from Amazon/Royal Fail over this busy time of the year.....



    Order Date: 28 Dec 2004

    Items dispatched on 30 Dec 2004:
    Delivery estimate: 6 Jan 2005 - 8 Jan 2005 1 of: Half-Life 2 (DVD ROM): Limited Edition In Metal Tin With T-shirt, Guide, 2 Extra Games

    I recieved it this morning.... *shiney tin* 31 Dec 2004.
    Not bad considering they have the 6th Jan 2005 as the earliest estimated delivery date.

    *Thumbs up to Amazon*

    I ordered a radiator with next day delivery, it came the next day but it looks like City Link had been playing hockey with it in the van. They someone how managed to bend the shroud and badly dint the bottom which is galvinised steel! It'd take some beating to get it like it was.

    i've been waiting for an order since before xmas, and it still ahsnt arrived.
    City Link delivered a package containing alcohol here a few days ago, and he couldnt find it in the van, so was just chucking all the parcels out the way! if he'd missed our package and flung it, it wouldnt be in one piece, luckily he found it.

    Have you got the T-Shirt on? You MUST have the T-Shirt on!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    dabs are great ordered and it turned up unhardmed wo days later,

    also a parcel (my shuttle) was sent on a Friday a week weeks ago and turned up the next day, that saturday morning, and it was sent with STANDARD PARCELS!!!! amazing for once from those royal faders

    also parel2go have had a parcel since 13:47 yesterday at my local branch, hopefully my big monitor will be wih me later today


    im completely on the consumer side, but spare a thought for all these men who are working their nadgers off to get these parcels out on time, it must be a really busy time of year
