Free Shipping for Loyal Forum Members

Is the DPD two day service the only option available for Northern Ireland?

I am logged in, and when I go through checkout I get all the DPD services listed:

DPD Next Day Parcel
DPD Two Day Parcel - Scottish Highlands, N. Ireland, Isle of Man & Channel Isles
DPD Next Day Parcel Before 10
DPD Next Day Parcel Before 12
DPD Next Day Parcel Saturday

However the two day service specifically states N. Ireland etc, the others don't, leading you to believe that you have to choose that one.

If that's the case, why are all the other services listed at all if they aren't even available to this region.

If they are all available, why does the two day option specifically state the region, unlike the others?

Also, before 10, before 12, and Saturday are all the same price? I'd have expected Saturday to be the most expensive, followed by before 10, with before 12 being the cheapest of the three.

God this is confusing :p
 
I'm probably hitting the wrong buttons here! But when I go to shipping I get no option on free?

I have a hard drive sitting in my basket. Can anyone please advise!!

It should become free on the next page when you choose your delivery options. The postage is always quoted at the beginning of checkout.

Strangely it doesn't do that! It gives me the price (including shipping) then I have the commit button! I'm a bit hesitant to click currently!!
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the quick delivery. It was next day using royal mail due to the fast despatch time, most other places take a few days to despatch when you choose their free delivery option.

Just wanted to let you know that offering free shipping for forum members really does sway people. I don't order much but ordered a monitor yesterday and it really swung my decision.
Keep up the good work :)
 
Errm, is that free DPD delivery to NI finished?
I was looking forward to using it as I was going to order some parts on Monday :(
 
I think it's a great incentive, and works for me great because I won't be buying my parts for a month or two anyway and in the process I get to look at other peoples builds and comment on them!

WIN WIN.
