    Nice one.

    UPS SUCK :D

    Indeed they do - I am still waiting for a Dell laptop ordered on 20th March - when I phone UPS they say I must contact Dell, when I do, Dell say contact UPS. :( I was in for 2 of the 3 attempted UPS deliveries - first one, the UPS truck turned up, I though 'great it's here' , next minute looked out the window and the guy was driving away - he didn't even ring the bell! :( Next day I got a card but I was in all day and nobody rang the buzzer. Useless.

    Damn, that's quick. When did you first place your order?

    LOL, not that quick! Order was placed last Thursday 06/04/06 circa 8:30 in the evening. Kept showing in pre-production from 07/04/06 and then yesterday went through all the other stages but still showing each date as 07/04/06 until dispatch last night when it changed to 11/04/06!

    Just checked my one again, aparently it has been dispatched from KOELN (COLOGNE), DE, it arrived there at noon (where ever that is) today, now it has been dispatched to MOI! :D fingers crossed ... and I may get my one before Kilty:j no big deal though (almost), I expect that if the new offer is good, I'll be going through the cancellation thingy to get a better deal :D
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!

    Just checked their website, and the same spec laptop is now £399 instead of £339 - result!

    I ordered mine through the Employee Purchase Scheme, so with the extended battery it cost £326. Someone did phone and asked me for information about EPP in a thick Indian accent. When I asked what EPP was he said "ok, it is nothing". The invoice is still £326, so he obviously couldnt be bothered to explain!

    Whilst this is true I am also looking at a newspaper advert this very second entitled Easter Extravaganza (in the London Metro) that says £339 (next to £399 crossed out, and Easter Special), evalue code NPUK5-N04135B so expect them to fix this in a couple of hours on the website.

    Oh, if you've bought one of these because of my original post, a thanks wouldn't go amiss! :o

    HAPPY EASTER! :j

    Arrrgggghhh!! sodding UPS!!! I got a knock on the door, just about heard it, got up to get to the door, took me all of 10 seconds and then heard something come through the letter box and it was a delivery attempt notice ... opened the door and shouted LOL and not a sausage :( You'd think they'd hang around long enough for me to open the bloody door ... like maybe 20 seconds or is that asking too much! Called UPS right away and told them to tell driver to come back ... the answer was "sorry, no, we can't do that" got a little pee'd off and told him to advise his drivers not to just knock the door and post the paper through, but to actually do whats normal and WAIT a little for the person to answer the door .... arrrggghh UPS!

    Gonna find out where their depot is and then call back to go collect it ... don't want to wait till tuesday!
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!
