Amtrak....

Well im sitting here, bouncing around because my new pc has left mesh.... and im not sure if i should be posting in general but its not hardware related..... its being shiped by amtrack and im watching the progress online, it was shiped today and so far...

Collected 27/04/2006
Arrived at Hub 27/04/2006 21:42:51

Now i live in Lincs, but this is suppose to be next day delivery.... it was sent out at about 6 today, and im just wondering.... do Amtrak work overnight? and how likely is it that it will come to me tomorow?

If it dont.... i wont see it till tuesday :mad:

Fairly likely, it'll probably arrive at the local distribution point early tomorrow, then get put on delivery truck for delivery tomorrow lunchtime/afternoon

Courier firms do their distribution at night, it will probably hit the local station around 6-7am.

Matt.

Well so far:

Does this mean with it being on the van that i will defo get it today?..... seems late and its not here :confused:

It's looking good, but not guaranteed.

Iv'e had stuff delivered well after 6 before now on next day delivery :) fingers crossed

That really should mean it will be with you today mate but curriers normally delivery from around 8.00AM til 6.00PM so it can be any time between.

Hope all goes well for you : ))))

I can try and arrange that ^ ^ but the big man can be a bit busy sometimes so it may take some time :D hehe

I have to say that CityLink have tendencies to delivery very early sometimes O.o i think ive heard as early as 7.30 one day :shocked2:

Ummm this was near lunchtime.... 11.30 in fact, ummm like i say i was poorly :p

I had a nightmare with amcrap about a year back, took about a week and a half to get my next day delivery. Made about 6 or 7 phone calls (Including head office), was guarenteed it would be with me same day 4 or 5 times.

They then added a note on the online tracking saying they attempted a delivery and a note was left (They failed to realise the date was a bank holiday)

Then they said it would come on an agents van who wouldn't go back to the depot until it was delivered.....guess what....never came. Then eventually a van came about a week and a half after the guarenteed date.

i love pre-08:00 parcels, u get to play around with them before work :D

QFT. My CityLink driver always delivers to my house at around 7am. I think I must be first on his list :p.

my delivery from overclockers the other day was a per 8:00am delivery, luckily it was delivered to work as not to disturb me. Id rather all deliveries came this early - i waited at home until 3:20pm last week (got up at 8) for a Royal Mail Special Delivery parcel my mum sent guaranteed before 1pm, wasnt happy

W00T It came :D Sitting here now staring at Hexus fia my 20" TFT and my dual core cpu...... i got this pc to stop jerkness in games.... alas Oblivion still jerks so i have no idea what the problem is?.... But ah well with a X1900XTX Its certainly eye candy... i loaded up and said woah :D
