Min £20 spend for free postage. I assume to protect against postage writing off any margins.
 
Hmmm - I've somehow lost my link to my OCUK account and then somehow now that I've re-linked I can't seem to find the free postage option?
 
Need to spend at least £20 before postage
My basket is currently £30.

Also everytime I go to the profile page, the "account linked" section keeps resetting to asking me to log in. Like nothing is saving at the moment. I tried changing my contact number for example and the page just throws an error that "email already used". Looks like there's a website problem?

Hi

Goto https://help.overclockers.co.uk/hc/en-gb
Click submit ticket
On the pull down menu box there is an option of account queries
 
It depends on the value of the item and how big or small it is. Something like a single NVME might come by RM but a box of 3-4 items would normally be DPD or anything big like a gaming chair or monitor by DPD as well.
I don't think you can go by the size on three seperate occasions I have had it through dpd, One was a hard drive and the other was a OC mat and the other was a webcam.

I think as she says it's a matrix, probably size/weight/value and possibly "which service has capacity"/"which service costs more".

I've had HDD's delivered by both DPD and RM from OCUK, I suspect for a bunch of things with the way RM have been upping their prices and the volume discounts OCUK are probably getting from DPD these days that it may not cost much more to send DPD.
If it was a big OCUK mat it would possibly have been cheaper to have sent via DPD than RM due to the size when rolled up (if it's over 45cm on any side it becomes a large parcel or possibly tube, whilst DPD probably still go by weight).

Something I realised years ago was that sometimes as a consumer a courier/Parcel Force was cheaper for the same size item than RM.

The link it seems.......

Would it show up after a 1,000 posts?
No. The Terms and Conditions say....

WHO QUALIFIES

This offer applies to
  • OcUK Forums members who have 250 or more posts and have been registered for over 90 days, or
  • OcUK Forums members who have been registered for over 12 months and made at least 100 posts

I joined in January 2007 and have 599 posts.

Anyway, way back in 2017,I purchased many components and received Free Postage!

Does anyone know how to fix this missing link? Free postage is needed, because it makes a difference when shopping using goooogle as your friend for large items such as a new case.
