    same here, had an independent seller sending from germany and a book from a book company through amazon, both arrived within a couple of days
  • Agreed, I ordered several things from Amazon and they all arrived well within their time frames - shame Play couldn't do the same... still waiting for a couple of bits.
  • Op, who delivered it ? shouldn't they get a mention as seen as they actually got it to you speedily and in good order ?
  • Everything ordered from Amazon sent by anyone other than HDNL to me has arrived in good time.

    Everything ordered from Amazon and sent by HDNL has gone missing or been late.

    Good to hear some success though!

  • Well, I ordered 2 DVDs on Monday 12th December as separate purchases. One dispatched from the UK arrived last Thursday. I'm still waiting for the one that was dispatched from their Channel Islands warehouse. If it doesn't come tomorrow it looks like I will have to visit a conventional shop to buy a back up then return the Amazon one when it eventually arrives. :mad:

    I ordered 3 items on Saturday (17th) afternoon. All 3 were delivered free of charge on Monday 19th. Phenomenal service.
  • Amazon always delivers stuff quickly and if anything goes wrong they're quick to fix it. I always order with confidence.
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    Smoke free since Jan 2014 :D If you want any advice on quitting please send me a PM. :)

    Yeah they seem to be alot faster around Christmas.
  • Amazon have been excellent with deliveries. Have ordered quite a few bits with free delivery and all came within a couple of days.

    I'm not altogether happy sending so much custom to one outlet, but equally I'm not going to shop elsewhere if the price is higher and the service less reliable.
