    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.

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

    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.

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

    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
