They use red vans and bikes
Most of them probably do, and some even have weird trollys. But I worked part time as a temp a few years ago at XMas and they used to drop us off in some god forsaken massive estate at 7am and we had to sometimes do 2 rounds, if the 2nd round was elsewhere it ment getting the bus and we could claim the money back if we kept the ticket.
Aye couriers today are down the swanny, colleague from work ordered a Wii from Germany and (DHL) put a note through his door without knocking, and to make matters worse they didnt put a reference number on the slip so he had a hell of a time trying to track it. Eventually turned up a few days later.
Absolutely !!
About 2 weeks ago I was awaiting the delivery of a mobile phone from 02, I was tracking the online and it said 'out for delivery', it never came during the day. went to lock the door at about 10.30pm and noticed a DHL card in the door. It said 'attempted delivery at 9.55pm
. It had a hand written mobile no on it so I called it and spoke to a woman. She said she didnt get an answer at the door and she was on her way home now so couldnt re deliver, I asked when it would be delivered, she said she wouldnt be back in the area for 2 days (probably the next time she went to the shops)I was furious and called DHL next day who told me they often use home couriers and would sort it out.
I recieved it the next day by the same courier I assume as it was left with a neighbour.
This was a brand new mobile phone ...
unbelievable !!!

You must be close to the depot. In fact, maybe not. I live a 5 minute drive away from my depot and I always get my stuff about 2-4PM lol.
The citylink depot is 20 min drive from me, i wish i could go it get now
Hmmm, the closer you are the longer you wait
. Should I move? 
.Mad_Jay, live up to your name and break in and free that card from the nasty non-knocking delivery guy's company.
Cammo'd up, full SAS gear. Or get blind drunk.Hmmm, the closer you are the longer you wait

Image quality
Hi evrybody I bought 8800gt and it has terrible image quality. I swaped from asus 1900xt and the difference is huge. Especialy reproduction of colors is so poor that I can not even watch movies.
The colors look as somebody would put dirty glass on my screen, does any body also see the diffrence?
And second question how to make color profiles for games in riva tuner>?
Cheers

Thats news to me.
You swapped it for a 1900XT, are you mad
It was almost certainly a driver issue.
8800GT walks all over the ATI offering in every department im afraid.
I bet whoever you swapped with thought his boat had finally come in ..
edit : I just realised, I read your post wrong ... U swapped FROM a 1900XT .. phew !!!!
are you using the latest forceware drivers ??
