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? |

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. |

I think they can bulk up shipments to make sure they get the best deal from the carrier's collection for that day. -- [Davism - a condition by which the sufferer experiences an inability to give concise answers, express reasoned argument or opinion.

That will depend on whether they've covered that in the T&Cs. -- [Davism - a condition by which the sufferer experiences an inability to give concise answers, express reasoned argument or opinion.

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. MK |
