It's an amendment due to the new courier and the new way of people qualifying.

That's it.

 

[Spie]

Why does it exclude the Highlands and Islands?

Those destinations cost us more with DHL.

 

[Spie]

You do not have to pay £13.49 "for a few bits". We have Royal Mail 1st class, 2nd class and Special Delivery for small orders.

Every courier has it's good and bad points but it's the overall standard of service to the 1000's of customers we ship to every week that counts and that is my main concern.

 

[Spie]

My small order would have consisted of:

1x Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB (This Week Only)
1x Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo (This Week Only)

The only two delivery options available:

DHL @ Home Offshore Islands (Delivered Mon-Fri) £13.49

RMSD £25

That means your parcel weighs over 2KG which means DHL is the cheapest option. Sadly they charge us a lot more for the IOW. I guess there will always be winners and losers with any change in courier.

As for OcUK doing more we are financing out of our own pocket this week the 2.5% VAT reduction when it looks like some companies may not even bother to pass on the saving next week.

quick question: is spie the creator of the forums/site?

Original creator, yes, although lots of others - employees and volunteers (forums only) - do a great job of managing them now.

 

[Spie]

Enough to get free shipping so order just placed

Thank you.

 

[Spie]

Sounds like a great offer and definately something which will tempt me to use OC instead of another supplier, but the problem now is getting 100posts in before the next order I want to make without being banned for spam Queue paranoia style hypothetical questions/posts.

You don't need to. You're already in.

OcUK Forums members who have been registered for over 12 months and made at least 100 posts.

 

[Spie]

What happens to those who've donated their posts (and now have <100) for the poppy appeals?

Contact a Don and we'll arrange for your post counted to be adjusted

 

[Spie]

It doesn't work for me - I meet all requirements and tried to buy stuff and all I can pick is paid deliveries
I updated my account, been registered more than a year (above 200 posts) and still cannot get free shipment..

Looking into this now for you.

 

[Spie]

We should have a permanent fix for those that have had problems with free shipping later today.

 

[Spie]

Blimey, better getting posting! I've been a squatter around here for ages. Now need to get post count up to get free shipping, challenge accepted!
