Wish DPD do same day delivery (order before 1pm) get same delivery! (wishful thinking)
In several years this will probably be standard with the way deliveries are becoming more efficient.
that would be logistically impossible in honesty

thats awesome! will remember this for next time I order!
Do OcUK have any plans to try reduce delivery costs to Northern Ireland?
At the minute I'm pricing up a lot of new kit for my rig and some perhipherals.
Prices are pretty close across the board but some of the competitors I'm browsing have free shipping.
Below are some of the postage costs I'll be looking at:
- GFX - £9.50
- Edifier Speakers - £9.25
- Keyboard - £9.50
- Watercooling gear - £9.50
Almost £40 in postage costs
You'll say combine the orders to save on postage but that's a poor way to look at it as the speakers needed to be ordered at the time they were needed, not when the GFX was ordered etc..
Just a thought because as a consumer looking around it makes it kinda suck that there's such a large difference in costs.

I'm sick of waiting for my package now. Ordered Fri and was told Monday delivery, so I took Monday off to ensure I could get it. It never shows, I ring up and apparently it's going to be delivered Tuesday and they made a mistake. I wasnt in Tuesday, so I tell them to deliver to a neighbor... "the driver didn't see the message" - 4 hours after the message was sent... Now Wednesday and I have no update on my package this morning. Superb DPD...
It's not the same for UK mainland, if I put in a mainland address it's free and it's next day, not 2 days shipping.
I'm just asking if there are any plans to change this? Not necessarily to free (but it'd sure be nice
)
As I said it's not always possible to order things at the same time for various reasons!

Contact us about it in the Customer Service section.

I mean in general without this promotion.
If overseas shipping gets any cheaper anytime soon then yeah I guess, but at the moment it costs more shipping overseas than shipping to the mainland unfortunately.
