Free Shipping for Loyal Forum Members

No free shipping anymore... :(
I guess Aberdeen has moved to the highlands in the last month or so. :rolleyes:

Check competitor shipping prices before this one goes through.

Edit: Not sure how they can justify such a shipping cost, when it's far cheaper elsewhere.
Massively disappointed that they've reclassified this address.

It would seem that i am also classed as Highlands and Islands now even though i was'nt before. <Snip>... so i just went elsewhere where i do get free shipping or they cost the same or less than here including shipping.

This is the issue I have, can get free at home address but that would mean taking a day off work and DPD are comically unreliable to that location, so I'd probably be left with a 50 mile drive to the Perth depot.
At £230 + free shipping the order was just competitive, not so any more.

What free shipping should I be getting? At the moment on a https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-060-LG Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse I can only see free Royal Mail delivery, but when I ordered a GPU from here I think I got free DPD next day?

So yeah, has things changed or is it because of a bank holiday and all that? Or is it the product I'm trying to buy isn't valid for it?
 
The free delivery depends on the value, as it is a small item and cheaper than the graphic card it will go with Royal Mail, however a graphic card is a lot larger and more valuable so tends to be sent via carrier.
 
just to confirm the web only daily offers dont qualify for free shipping do they??

cos that 1tb drive today is calling if its free p&p
 
Some do allow it, and some don't. They usually say if they don't, but the easiest way to check is to add them to your basket and try to check out. You'll soon know.
 
It's worse to have had it and then have it taken away.

I assume this is a DPD issue?

Have to pay nearly 3 times as much as competitors here now for a similar shipping option with OcUK. It's a bit of a shambles.
Competitors 4TW!
I'd prefer to order from here as it's always been good and even before free shipping, the charges were reasonable-ish. What happened?

Aww man, I thought that might be the case. Last time I bought a new MB, ram, heatsink etc etc and got free shipping with DPD...

Well, I am 30 miles west of Aberdeen anyway, so I was expecting it.

My work address is in Aberdeen and we're still classified as Highlands...
It's pretty disappointing, especially with the amount they attempt to charge for their highlands shipping option. A mainland UK city, and we have to pay as much as N. Ireland and Isle of Man? :confused:
 
I hope the cut off time for delivery next day is 4:30, just ordered some more goodies with free delivery. ^_^
 
I used to have free shipping from here, brought lots of stuff from ocuk to some how or another my free shipping has been taken away who would i need to contact to have it re-instated

You need to make a certain amount of posts I believe. could have been a bug which allowed you to get the free delivery.

You have changed your account since then and don't meet the requirements anymore. AFAIK you can't get it reinstated until you meet them again.
