Unlucky mate i've had this happen to me a couple of times with saturday deliverys for things except i've had no story to go with it as to why grrr. One thing though, i would have gone for the 4890 myself as amd+ati is a sweet mix, but still if you can afford the lil bit extra the 275 is a great card.
 
When you are paying 22 quid it shouldnt happen, im still pretty mad but guess i just have to wait and see if my delivery costs get refunded like i was promised.

I went for the 275 basically because it was cheaper tha the 4890 and the plan is to go 5000 series after xmas when price drops
 
Not the gfx card m8 i paid 149.99 for the 275, i was looking at the ati 4890 xfx 155 from ocuk but thought the other deal was good so just took a punt + that powercolor did not float my boat brand wise or cooler wise.
