I ordered a camera flash gun from Great Deals via Amazon yesterday at 10:43. "Standard" delivery - quoted as 22 to 26 Sept.
Informed by e-mail at 13:58, item despatched.
Item delivered by Royal Mail this morning at 10:25.
Well done everyone involved !

Always great to read of excellent service and id say it was the same for most people with RM. Unfortuantly its only the bad press and how horrid they are that you ever hear about.

To be fair, standard post with amazon is first class which is 'meant' to arrive next day anyway. They know that, that's why they give at least 4 days for delivery. When it turns up next day you are even happier, they play mind games with us which is why we all love amazon.
Good stuff0 -
If you buy something from Amazon itself then they take ages to post the item but Royal Mail tend to do their job properly once it is in their hands. Traders who sell through Amazon marketplace are usually much faster than Amazon itself and next day delivery is very common.
I wish more traders would follow CPC's example - if you order before 8pm you'll get it next day. I've had 100% success rate so far.

I have never had an issue with Amazon deliveries - even using the Free Super Saver option :j“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0
