However, they are insisting that it is not their policy to refund the postage which I originally paid to...

I bought some bits from Ebuyer, and I paid for their 'Standard Delivery' which apparently takes about a week to deliver. I was told that the delivery was today, so stayed in *all* day. I did not go out once. At about 5pm, I received an email from Ebuyer informing me that I had...

That can be delivered by Friday. Anyone know of a place? Cheers Simon

I'm about to place an order, the quickest option for delivery (without paying £25 for Saturday) is the Standard Service which will get the goods to me by Monday. What are the chances of the goods arriving before the weekend? Cheers

I'm guessing this newsgroup is for people to post their tales of woe about lack of CS from UK computer vendors. So here we go: Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone? I purchased a Dell 19" Monitor on ARIA (www.aria.co.uk), 31st May (a holiday Monday in the UK). Turns out in my enthusiasm I...

Does anyone have any recommendations for the cheapest jewel cased Taiyo CDRs? I'm not averse to getting the media and cases separately if needs be. The plextor media at ebuyer seems the cheapest so far at around 23p inc cases. regards Paul

A new one on me..... A friend tells me his Epson printer stopped (in the middle of a lengthy and time-critical print run) saying it was due for servicing, and refused to print another page. He had to buy a new one....not an Epson apparently :-) Anyone else heard of this apparent wheeze to jack...
