Free Shipping for Loyal Forum Members

Love this feature, makes things worth paying for via OCUK, that and the CS is excellent!
Plus who does like paying £10 for shipping. Not me!

Margins on PC components is terrible, surprised OCUK still offer this without a minimum.

Same here, I'm specing a new PC to replace my wife's iMac, and was trying to get the SSD on offer and no free shipping...

Log in to your account before putting it in your basket.

Nope, logged in, cleared basket, re-added them, and still shows the shipping. No hurry or anything, just reporting :-)

PS Scrach that! Just tried again, logged out explicitly and did it all over again, and it worked.

Ok so I decided to checkout using my previous method (paypal). I failed multiple times to do anything, I clicked the 'terms and condition' but 'checkout' would lead me back to the ... checkout page.
So I clicked 'change' payment option, (it was bizarelly now showing me the CC option, not paypal) re-selected paypal...
Then the next 'checkout' led me to the paypal login page... but that's it; no checkout... just paypal login.

I returned to the checkout page and tried again, and that time it worked...

PS: Do NOT send me 10 SSDs :-)

Not seeing any options to use my free delivery on an order anymore

Tried doing what PapaLazaru said, makes no difference for me - also tried 2 other computers and changing browsers so it must be something on the web site's side.

My last order was less than a week ago and I still qualified for free delivery then:

+1. I cannot see any option for Free Shipping also. Was working ok for me on the old site.

Got this in a message earlier today.

"The free shipping option is still valid however some customers are experiencing difficulties but we hope to get this sorted soon."

I was gonna buy a Switch for £15 and the free delivery option is for 2nd class Royal Mail, is that the norm now? Used to be 1st class.

platypus · 26 Oct 2015 at 15:34

Might be based on product. I just looked at a power strip and it offered free next day dpd.

I cannot find forums account, to enter my details within the new website.
I have used overclockers for over 6 years and only just thought to use this service.
Could anyone please help?

Not in my experience, although I think a lot depends if you live in a city or a rural area.

Here in deepest darkest, wild and woolly Herefordshire, I can almost guarantee that 1st Class post will be delivered to me the day after posting, while 2nd Class will take an extra day.

Mind you, we do have a very good postman... or in our case a post lady!

I've quoted you in the New Site Bugs thread.

You should let them know using Webnotes or forum Customer Service.

I can't seem to find where on account page other than "Account Nickname ", which I assume is my forum name, which I've filled in.
I've submitted a webnote regarding this also.
