    I ordered a black one, size 14 at 11am on Sunday and it has been despatched.

    It seems to be coming by Royal Mail, "Tracked" service I think which is reliable and usually takes 2 days.

    Do you know if "tracked" service requires that you be in to sign for it?

    It doesn't require a signature but they will leave a card if there is no apparent safe place to leave it. I'm not absolutely sure it is "Tracked".
  • I ordered a fair few things (Christmas pressies) and mine came in a giant, and i mean giant box. Delivered by courier and required signature. hth

    I think the bigger the package, the more likely they are to actually require the signature. I have found small packages that said "signature required" laying under my mailbox or up against my door, which is fine with me as it is all inside a secure building (flats with mailboxes in the hall). My asda order is small, so maybe he'll leave it if he doesn't feel like knocking on my door (or if I don't hear him!).

    Hmmmmm.....I ordered on Sunday at about 6.30pm and got confirmation of order, confirmation of payment and I still haven't had a confirmation of shipping even though they should be delivered today or tomorrow :confused: Having said that, I haven't had an e mail saying my orders been cancelled either.....

    I ordered mine on sunday morning, had them delivered today but didn't get an email to say they had been dispatched. Fingers crossed you get yours tomorrow.

    Yerh I ordered Sunday evening to, and I have mine down for store collection, but I havent had anything either. And I ordered some non sale stuff too!

    EDIT: I logged in to my account on the asda website and it says Status: Fully Despatched, so I have my fingers crossed. Says estimated collection 12/11/09, it will notify me by text e-mail when my order is ready for collection, so fingers crossed.
    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    Was instore last night and managed to get loads of bits in the sale, Inc the purple coat, size 10 (my actual size) fits like a dream :D

    They had about 6 purple ones and 6 black ones, I was only there for about an hour and they were all gone :eek: when I went for a second look!
    I got lots for DD but only 1 top for DS. never much in the boys section when I go :rolleyes:.

    Now im off to hide a few of my other coats before OH realises the coat cupboard is actually full of my coats ;)

    Thanks OP
