I just don't get this system. They wait until the last day then ship it
on a next day delivery :/

Ah, but they put your £2.40 in a special high interest account and in
the few days it's in there they earn...no, hang on..that ain't gonna
work is it!?

Yeah, weird!

Mind you - they managed to throw an MS optical mouse in with the
motherboard I ordered recently and they haven't got back to me yet on
whether I should keep it (top secret bundled offer??) and last year I
sent back a duff £10 MP3 player and received a £60 unit with colour
screen as a replacement!

Maybe it's a tax dodge?

If they are not saving on the postage i guess the cost savings must be on
the fact they dont have to rush with the packaging/labelling etc. For big
orders i can probably understand why they wait so long to ship but I also
ordered a harddisk on Saturday on the supersaver. Instead of just sending
the bloody
thing out today or tomorrow it's not being shipped until next Tuesday for
next day delivery on the Wednesday :/
The risk i think for ebuyer is if i were to see the price cheaper elsewhere
later in the week i'm likely to want going to cancel the ebuyer order.

Ahh but you can't . To quote their Ts & C's

"Order Cancellations - You may cancel any item that has not entered the
shipping process. Most items enter the shipping process 5 minutes after you
place your order. You may cancel entire orders via the Account section
within these first 5 minutes. "

I think they can bulk up shipments to make sure they get the best deal
from the carrier's collection for that day.

Distance selling regulations trump their T&Cs, even to the point of return
goods after receipt, within a time limit or 7 days.

Of course, but you may well have to pay the return postage. That will
depend on whether they've covered that in the T&Cs.

This is not my experience. I have had stuff delivered several days
earlier than advertised.

Yes, the shipping is usually "next day" but that is because the
couriers don't offer a choice. I suspect that they charge less if they
are not required to deliver within 24 hours.
