big +1 to OcUK

vincent1989 · 2 Feb 2009 at 22:13

as it says really, even on this, apparently one of the worst days of the last 18 years there were people working hard to ensure the components i order make it to the courier in time for next day delivery (just up to DHL now!

).

i'm in a good mood and thought i'd give some love to the hard working barstewards at OcUK.

Even if it were, OcUK would get it shipped.

You should really be thanking DHL - they made it to OcUK, picked up your parcel, and managed to get it to you.

The weather doesn't really impact on OcUK's ability to pack a box in a warehouse.

It does impact the box packer's ability to get to the warehouse in the first place. Surely you don't think OcUK employees live at their depot? lol. Only joking.

Do you work there?

Nope, just a long term customer who has faith in their despatch and sales order process.

You do realise the courier collects the parcels right?

i heard part of the warehouse is sectioned off into a big lan where the staff live on games and microwaved food, all the bgrade stock is from when they upgrade the comps

i think you will be sorely disapointted if you ever got a job there arknor

no, i thought a magical fairy did it. there still had to be enough staff in to cover all the orders, but never mind **** you OcUK staff as some people seem to think it goes magically from courier to courier without any outside interaction :rolleyes:

There could be a full hurricane, ash raining from a nearby explosive volcano, and ocuk would get your £3 order to you WELL below competitors price and within 24hrs of purchase!!!

Could I have a new graphics card?

I'm sorry, but it was the courriers who got it their on time. OcUK just packed it, and yes I do think warehouse staff can get to work.

People who work in low tier jobs rarely have to travel far to work. Do you know anyone who travel would long distances for a warehouse job?

OcUK did what they usually do. The DHL drivers were the guys who had the harder job. Thank them and stop being such a brown nose.

We have a good 3" of snow here, literally just down the road from OcUK.

About 2" of snow now here in Stoke, been snowing since 2pm and hasn't stopped.

Main roads are clear though.

i'm sorry, but many people on low paid jobs do end up on a long commute, owing to the fact they'll take work wherever they can get it, i'd have personally had to walk a 5 mile round trip today had i had work due to buses not running (which doesn't sound like much, but it's hardly 'local' and certainly not pleasant in todays icey conditions).

if you're not here to be nice then go spam another thread, if i'm pleased with the service, i'll say i'm bloody well pleased with the service!

and why is it the idiots who are quick to post saying 'OMG LOL!!!!!1111!!!!1!1one1!!!! COURIERS' haven't actually read the original post, i haven't got the items yet, if the courier upholds their part of the contract it'll be here tomorrow, and then i'll be pleased with them too.
