I have a feeling ever since Ebuyer started selling all kinds of electronics they have taken a hit in terms of everything.

Pretty much, and the sad part is, OCUK have seen more of my money than Ebuyer lately :/ Either OCUK are getting waaaay better or Ebuyer are becoming truly awful.

I think this is the best way forward imo, but they've already taken my money and shipped ONE of the items from my order which means they are in the process of picking my order.

thats cloes to £400 if not over £400 thats gone out of my account, If i was to cancel now i think i would need to wait for the cash to be refunded before purchase lol, so depending how it goes i might get my order by Friday at the latest unless their quick with processing refunds.

I done it with £250 worth of stuff, however slightly different. I ordered next day, it didn't show on the Friday. phoned up in the end cancelled, money went to paypal straight away (refund) and then I ordered it fresh with next day and payment cleared in time.

she gave the excuse once the orders been sent to warehouse it cant be changed but cancelled?! if I didn't cancel would been 3 day delivery instead of next...

Actually checking on my orders - this is true... you can ask for help or create an enote but it doesn't allow you to cancel orders. I guess its to draw you into calling their premium rate support number...

Ever since Caseking bought them out they have been doing rather well imo. Good prices (during discounts), and good deliveries (for the few packages I bought). Previously I would use ebuyer as my first stop for online goods, now Amazon takes the honour. A bit sad really.

I'm still chasing a refund through PayPal from a seller who i asked for a refund from. They said I'd get it in 24 hours. 4 days later I'm still waiting for my refund, so I had to put a claim in through PayPal.

haha I used the house phone, and it was several calls.

she seems pretty moody and doesn't want to help but then you got tell her what to or ask certain questions to get it done.

I agree OCUK must have seen comments about prices, everyday theyre doing better. and we get SWEETS!

Honestly, I dont understand why more retailers dont do this with their deliveries. I mean, imagine how cheap those things are, but it sure as hell makes unpacking your hardware that little bit more exciting and fun!

it literally is the small things in life that get noticed and we like. a small lil gesture of sweeties is the best.

I often just order thermal paste from there and get sweets!

i remember when i made my first order with OCuK earlier this year, finding sweets in the box totally confused me, I was thought someone in the packaging dept might of had a sweet tooth and dropped some in by mistake but it is a nice touch - Its definitely something different

I should have found you a london link, that's for hull :S

Its cool - I got the UK one for 2 of their sorting offices.

They employ over 15k people over xmas I believe. I enjoy it, would love a full time job with RM

Yeah never for a long period though they cut their Xmas employment down to 2 & a bit weeks whereas previously it would have been at least 3 months.

Im happy to say i was with them for 5-6years part time though I did pick up a lot of over time when i was allowed to which pushed it close to full time hours.

I ordered 65g of mx2 thinking id be chomping on haribo while removing antecs formula 7 and replacing it, so imagine my heartfelt disgust when the parcel turns up and its only got mx2 in it!! The rotters! I may have to lay off pc purchases for a bit anyway as I think my firm's boss is coming down to sack us all next week :/
The xinrullians turned up and they are well quiet at 12v, its not even worth taking them down to 7v..

I can attest to the awesome that is a Xinruilian 1650RPM fan. So quiet, so effective!
Also as for boss, just be awkward and give 'em hell. They cant just sack a load of people without being served papers.

Cool story,

I might switch out my GTs and see if those fair any better at a later date

Well... I was right about ebuyer - they are totally ignoring my Enote and just started dispatching stuff.

Instead of everything arriving all on the same day, deliveries will be broken up into 2 or 3 lots the NAS and 1x3TB hard drive are still outstanding but i doubt they will bother to check the Enote now since 2x3TB HDDs & USB3.0 dock has been dispatched.

Fingers crossed most of the kit should be here friday/saturday but ebuyer have quoted me monday so its down to parcelforce or whoever they've partnered up with to do their deliveries - If its parcelforce then theres no guarantee of my shit arriving even on a monday lol....YODEL gets a lot of flack but parcelforce are equally as bad if not worse.

at least the giga switch is here so i can get a head start with putting the cabling in and getting it all ready to rock n roll when the rest arrives.

Yodel are good but only if your parcel is coming from a sub contracted courier. Yodel do that for amazon prime deliveries (which I am signed up to). The subcontracted courier is usually from your area, and leaves their mobile number on the slip. Last parcel I had missed, I called the number on the slip, the courier answered and drove back to my house an hour later to deliver it.
Dedicated Yodel drivers however are total asshats.

Is Amazon Prime really worth £49 per year?

If you buy more than 10 packages a year, probably

In that case.....

It seems Ebuyer have switched back to using yodel - Good news i suppose. my NAS is out for delivery!!!
