Ebuyer - Still cant deliver

I placed an order late Friday afternoon and selected a Saturday (next
day delivery)

Today, half the stuff turns up (from their drop shipper) but the stuff
direct from their warehouse never emerged.

Lame, weekend plans scuppered, faith in ebuyer finally gone, next
supplier please!

Not the best idea anyone ever had - placing an order late Friday and
expecting ebuyer to deliver by the following day! Obviously a newcomer to
uk.comp.vendors?

I have managed to place an order late Friday with microdirect to deliver on
a Saturday and it turned up. I only did this because no-one locally had what
I needed and (surprise, surprise) ebuyer had failed to deliver on Friday.
But, I certainly would not recommend this to anyone - far too chancy if you
want to order Friday and MUST have by Saturday. Use a local supplier. Though
I hate to say it, ****yWorld are reasonably competitive now if you order
online to pick up at store - though the choice is very limited.

Agreed. I would never place a next day order on a Friday, even at 2am,
let alone 3pm. In fact I always order (for van delivery anyway) on a
Tuesday or Wednesday in the hope of avoiding the backlog from weekend
orders, but with plenty of time before the weekend. I can't remember the
last time this strategy didn't work.

The exception to this is anything which might come by Special Delivery,
which usually turns up pretty reliably even on a Saturday. Shame the
rest of my post isn't so reliable. :-)

Ive used ebuyer before and yes i was nervous, however its a touch
annoying that ebuyer keep the order window open right up until 5:59 on
Friday for Saturday delivery's when obviously they cannot fulfill these
orders.

Its the same old thing, of course its my fault!

Anyway Ebuyer are hoping to have the rest of my stuff with me tomorrow,
place your bets please! Is this really the way online shopping should
be?

If you want the sort of prices that Ebuyer charge, then it is, sadly,
unrealistic to expect better service. They probably pay their warehouse
staff the legal minimum wage and then use the cheapest courier they can find
(****tylink). This keeps prices down but does not ensure top quality
service.

If you need stuff urgently, your best bet is to shop locally and pay the
extra. Alternatively, a bit of forward planning may not go amiss ;-)

Yawn.

Next post please..
