Amazon + DHL

I purchased a printer from Amazon on the 8th of July which was last friday. It had 24 hour delay before shipping.

Chose super saver delivery. So 3-5 day wait for the goods after despatch.

Got an e-mail yesterday (12th July) to say it had been shipped. 3pm this afternoon (13th) DHL delivered the printer.

:T Brilliant service

As they had estimated delivery from 14th-18th July. Just hope the thing works when I plug it in now. :rotfl:

Yours

    I ordered a wireless router, a network card and a sound card on the 11th July, they were dispatched on the 12th and delivered the 13th by DHL even though I had picked free super saver delivery - very impressive.

    I don't think this is always the case though, might depend on how many orders they have or something as I have waited about a week for other orders on super saver - even then I don't mind waiting a few extra days in return for free delivery.

    They were probably trying to get the orders clear before the onslaught of Harry Potter! :D

    That's excellent service though. I've always been pleased with Amazon in every dealing I've had with them.
