Crucial Deliveries
On 30th May I ordered one stick of memory from Crucial in East
Kilbride which is local to me in Glasgow and opted for the "free" delivery .It shipped on the 31st and today Monday 4th June it still hasn't arrived . The webpage shows it was sent Special Delivery (?) I phoned this morning and when I asked if it had been sent First Class or Second the girl couldn't say .She just kept insisting it was sent "Packet Post" and didnt seem to know that could be either 1st or 2nd ..( Their website says it is sent First Class) She insisted that it could take up to 3 (working) days but that is what the website says My experience over many years is that First Class mail arrives next day ..very rarely otherwise . Anyonee had any recent experiences of orders from Crucial U.K. ? Stuart |

I wouldn't worry until an entire week had past, unless you paid considerably extra for special handling and upgraded postage fees. One thing you have to *really* watch out for, especially with things like parcel-post, UPS, FEDEX, or other package deliveries, is NOT getting it in your mailbox; but finding it on your doorstep or next to your back door, or similar places where the delivery man just drops the thing off ... right where *anybody* could pick it up. Just the other day (for example) the UPS man dropped off a package worth about $75 US, while the front door was open (screen door closed) and the wife and I were sitting in the living-room not ten feet from the door. He didn't bother to ring the doorbell or even say, "Hi!"; just dropping the box off outside the door. That's NOT supposed to happen, according to the company; but it does happen all the time. So, I suggest checking outside all your doors at least twice a day. You might have already received the item; and not even known it's there. ;-{ -- _____ / ' / â„¢ ,-/-, __ __. ____ /_ (_/ / (_(_/|_/ / _/ _ |

First Class mail almost without exception arrives the next day ( or did you miss that part above ) which would have been Friday ,then there is Saturday and now there is today Monday . So if you are counting Royal Mail working days t( days with a delivery) then it is three. Stuart |

Assume it shipped after close-of-business on the 31st, the first working day was the 1st. You're complaining before noon on the second day for something shipped post. Don't. -- If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? |

Crucial's working days has nought to do with it .It WAS shipped on the 31st ( in fact Crucials computer says it shipped on the day it was ordered ..the 30th) so ,repeating myself , by first class post it should have arrived on the following day which was Friday 1st and then there was Saturday ( RM deliver that day as well) and then there is today so I am perfectly reasonable by expecting it to be here by today. The time of todays posting was after the postman had been . There is only one delivery a day . I get loads of mail and I am well aware of how long things take to arrive . Stuart . |

If you wanted the thing the next day, you should have ****ing paid for next day. And yes, Crucials working day has EVERYTHING to do with it. Business collections are done by 5pm. Crucial work later than that so although it may have been packed and sent to "Despatch", it may not have made the post for that day. First Class IS NOT GUARANTEED NEXT DAY and hasn't been for quite a while. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak......... |

First Class IS NOT GUARANTEED NEXT DAY and hasn't been for quite a while. Do you start all your conversations with "**** sake" ? Where exactly did I say I wanted it next day . All I was saying that First Class mail ,in my experience,arrives next day ..and I do know it is not guaranteed next day .Anyone knows that . As for when it was shipped it might have slipped your attention as you were so busy preparing to write " ****s sake" that they have it logged as being sent for shipping on the 30th . Anyway when it does eventually arrive I'll check the date stamp AND To rub salt in the wounds I get an e-mail tonight which says . " Give Crucial Technology Europe Your Feedback on Your Recent Purchase & Enter to Win £25 Today! ------------------------------------------------------ Dear We hope you are enjoying the item(s) you purchased at Crucial Technology Europe on 30/05/2007.
