Which is presumably why Jessops haven't delivered it ::)

Only taking a maximum of a week to get stuff from the US, so you pays your money... And even the East Coast is open for another 3 hours ;)

Buy it from the West Coast and it will be shipped today..

Handy hint, buy it from somewhere near Memphis, TN or Erlanger, KY and it will probably be in the air tomorrow evening...  ;)

Oh, and call them just before you check out :y

Lots of stuff out of stock at the moment. Lounge dimmer switch packed up last week where the mechanical push on-off switch wouldn't latch. Lounge the only room in the house which I haven't upgraded to LEDs, where they are candle bulbs in chandeliers, so I thought I would price up a dual LED dimmer switch plus dimmable bulbs. All reasonably priced stuff was out of stock, so gave up & ordered a replacement dimmer module for £3.25 inc p&p which arrived yesterday & did the 10 minute repair job, so now all good. :y

Unrelated to this, but on deliveries, Costco seem to be making hard work of my order (which they clearly said up front would be 5-7 days).  4 parcels from Parcel Force so far, still waiting for more ;D. Can't be cost effective ;D

Must admit having had around 20 items delivered recently from on line purchase from eBay, amazon and curry’s it has all been good. A lap top from Currys  took just 2 days even on free delivery.

The laptop for my grandson came with Windows 10 s (for safe) - another thing to have to learn about.

Bought several things online recently, including several from ebay. Almost all have turned up several days before they were due. Just saying.  :D

This happened with Hermes, when SWMBO ordered a fitbit from John Lewis. Except they decided to deliver a mangled and empty box which they'd thoughtfully resealed with Hermes branded tape. Thieving c*nts. I very nearly went full caveman on the JL customer services manager when he tried to tell me there would be no refund or goods forthcoming until they'd "investigated the loss with the help of Hermes"

well if the bag rips open,quite possible ,that's 10 kilo of 5mm fish food balls  all over their conveyors  ::)
at least it will feed all the local rats for a bit  ;D
I'm covered by paypal and had a £10 off paypal voucher towards the cost of the £20 bag of fish food anyway  8)
on the same order I ordered insignia screen washer jets (for the Omega) ,they came within 48 hours

Now at 7 parcels from Costco, just awaiting one item :D.  Actually, its the one Parcelforce received on Monday, and ever since has been showing as in their central hub, so I do actually think that one might need a phone call.


In other news, my >£100 battery arrived from Jessops today via a 48 hour service.  So not only do they not post the same day (or same week) on their next day service, they don't even use a next day courier service.  Still no reply to email. Idiots.

Also arrived today was an overpriced, unreliable SD card, courtesy of Cisco.  Dispatched yesterday evening before 6pm in The Netherlands, here by 2pm.

Also arrived today a correct cable bought on egay, after seller had tried to fob me off with an incorrect one. And bills. I received lots of bills. They always arrive fast.

If nothing else ever arrives the bills will always get through.
