I have spent around £10k over 5 years with eBuy3r and I still have to pay £9.99 for next day. Suffice to say, I haven't used them for 2-3 project/builds now, plainly because they don't offer any loyalty deals. They haven't caught on, like sc4n.. Maybe i'll post 250 posts soon and become a loyal OcUK spender.

You have over 100 posts and have been here over 1 year? What would getting to 250 posts achieve?

Free delivery..

I haven't been a OCUK customer that much, maybe £300-£400, but just because I signed up on a forum ages ago doesn't mean anything really does it buddy

But you do qualify, read the notification at the top of the page carefully...

Ah, yes! I do. Cool man, cheers for pointing that out.

when i found that thread [about free delivery] i was kinda disappointed, a lot of people [inc me] come here about a first build, prices are good, but delivery often puts them higher than others, and you dont want to wait that long when you have the money to spend,

i for example want a new keyboard, but with the delivery price it ups the price to high, if i dont end up getting it until i qualify i will get it here

And as I don't like spamming like other people do I will just have to wait until I have been a member for a full year before I can take advantage of free delivery.

The day that delivery is free I will order loads of stuff from here.

so i was looking at getting the OCZ Alchemy keyboard which is like £9.99, i was thinking nice but why is the delivery nearly as expensive as the keyboard !?! its like £8.25 just to get it delivered - now that is way too expensive just for 1 item

Just like phone them like and like ask like for like free delivery like. If like they don't like give you like free delivery like, find it like somewhere like that does like.

I got a cheap keyboard and mouse from a local shop
once i get the free delivery then i will order the Keyboard and Mouse i want from here
i might also look at getting different LED fans - Maybe white

Looks like I'll be waiting for free delivery before ordering!
I like the idea, keeps people active and a good incentive

Im still working towards that magic 250, youll be surprised how often you will post and help others out.

One thing i found when looking into free delivery was i had to set up my overclockers.co.uk profile to match my forum account (doesnt change anything for me as i am no where near to free delivery yet)

kellaway225 · 19 Mar 2010 at 12:51

you have to have been a member for 3months+ and have over 250posts to get free delivery i believe

MoRT489 · 19 Mar 2010 at 12:52

@ OP just post in the OcUK Customer Service forum http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=116, let them know ur previous spending and point out ur active involvement by post count and i wouldnt be surprised if they sort u out.
