Little bit miffed now, whats the cut off time for next day delivery, looks like mine wont make it now till Monday...Ordered yesterday 14.59..
 
if you ordered yesterday, you will have received a shipping email if it has been despatched.

Or just check on the city links tracking page.
 
City link are great if your on the route (which i am) my friend on the other hand lives 150 miles from me and abit out the way , he out of about 10 orders (3 from OcUK) has had 2 come next day am and 2 at close to 5pm so keep hoping.

SO many reply's as i spoke on phone guess you know its not coming now.

Online retailers sometimes advertise stock that is actually still in a container at the docks. I had this with a Lian Li case that said 10+ in stock, then failed to come next day despite the order being placed in the morning the previous day. I needed it that day for a customer, so I had to drive 200 miles round rtip to pick one up from a competitor. When the case turned up the following Monday, I rejected it on the doorstep. Any system that lets you pick your delivery date with a price should roll over to the following day whenever the deadline approaches. If it doesn'tt, then they ought to take the feature off the website. Lots of online (r)etailers claim stock in the manufacturers warehouse as available for next day. Some even ship direct from the distributor, but I think it's sad that they are so desperate to get an order that they feel they have to bend the truth, then let customers down.

With OcUK, you get an order despatched e-mail so there is no point in blaming the courier if it hasn't left the building yet. Realistically, you only have two options - wait or cancel the order and get the item from elsewhere.

OcUK Website said:
4.2 Orders placed before 4:00 pm on a working day will be processed that day and will be delivered as per the requested delivery option provided no additional security checks are required and all stock items are available. (A working day is any day other than weekends and bank or other public holidays.)

I had the same problem when I ordered my case before, it didn't arrive until about a week or two later despite being in stock.
 
he ordered it on friday if he payed the extra cost for saturday delivery then he should get it today if not he will get on monday :)
 
His original post was on the 11th (Friday) and he says he ordered it yesterday. That sounds like Thursday for a Friday delivery to me, plus he said it still hadn't been despatched.
