Saturday deliveries by dpd.

[Ashman UK]

Hi all and have a new gfx card on the way for my system today but am wondering has anyone else recently had anything delivered from ocuk via the courier dpd(as it says on the tracking page) using the saturday delivery service as nothing has turned up yet?(gone 2pm here).

On dpd's website ive looked and they say stuff is normally delivered before 10 or 12 pm on a saturday so im thinking i hope this aint the case and mine aint been delivered as obviously ive paid more for a sat delivery(plus aswell waitin to go down the pub lol and cant atm not knowing whether this is gonna turn up today or not!..)

Yeah thx for relpying and tried contacting dpd but of course there offices are shut after 1pm and the last thing on the tracking page was the item was "recieved" at a hub early this morning and no more updates since and it was ocuk's next day saturday parcel service so hopefully as ya say it will arrive before 5pm.

Have took my pc apart and fully cleaned it aswell in prep for me new card and the dust that i got out of it was shocking tbh!.

Yup hopefully and its bound to be the last drop of the day for em at around 5pm..so i get less time down the pub later lol :-s.

Nope still aint turned up and and had no delivery note through the door so id be shocked if it does turn up in the next half hour

If this is the case not happy as its stuffed my afternoon up aswell as have no way of finding out if its actually on a van or not due to the fact that there office is closed after 1pm for calls and enquiries and ok as peeps say between 9-5pm so ill give it another half hour but aint optimistic at all.

Yep ive just rung and got someone on the phone from ocuk and hes more or less said thats whats happened basically as its set for a monday delivery..:-s...so i told em nah im at work monday so you will have to re-arrange it for tuesday but they have refunded my whole delivery charge back and set the delivery day for tuesday.

What can ya say..beware of saturday deliveries in this case im afraid and for the record the item is a bfg gtx295 aswell!.

Yeah again pretty much thats whats happening after speaking to ocuk before they shut at 5pm today.

So it should be getting delivered on tuesday. As the poster above you said it looks like they put it through as a normal next day delivery yet on the email and order it clearly states its a dpd saturday delivery so god knows.

Yeah mate ill ring em again monday to make sure although again, the chap on the fone earlier said hes refunding me the whole delivery charge and has rescheduled it for tuesday, fingers crossed.

Time to hit the pub methiks lol.

Hmm well ill be getting me new card in a day or two and it made me take my pc apart/re-seat the cpu/clean out drive trays of dust which is good but again, the amount of dust that came out once i had taken my pc apart properly to clean it was shocking!.

Typically am at work tommora but off tuesday so as long as they dont try and deliver it tommora as ive stated to ocuk yesterday that im at work tommora n off tuesday.

Yes and finally got me new card and installed only a few mintues ago.

At first when i booted up the pc i got no video and i started to brick mesen and thought oh hell but then i swapped the pci-e connectors about as im using a 6-8 pin adaptor and voila its up and running all good now with the newest drivers installed from nvidia.

Now of course time to test games out etc, especially crysis to name one!.

I did also get my delivery refunded from ocuk as dpd said they had tried to deliver it yesterday even tho it had saturday delivery plastered all over the parcel..:-s..and finally got the card today.
