When is the 'cut off point' for next day delivery?

scotty32 · 27 Jun 2006 at 19:27

I ordered a DFI Ultra-D at 4.20pm today, to Doncaster, along with an Akasa cable tidy kit. I picked the standard next day delivery. Do you reckon the stuff will arrive tomorrow? I realise there is not an absolute answer, but I can't wait to get my hands on my brand spanking new Ultra-D!

I always figured it was 5:00pm, but I could easily be wrong.

it's usually about 3:30 just to be safe.

before 2pm almost 100%

3pm onwards around 70% imo

Next day is next working day in working ours.
8am till 5pm.
after that.
Tough.

I'm pretty sure at OcUK it's 4:30, if you're lucky sometimes you get nexty day up to 5.

Thanks for the replies. So it seems I have a decent chance of getting the stuff tomorrow, but it's nowhere near guaranteed. I'm getting Sky in my bedroom tomorrow also. AND it's my last exam (maths) before I get 10 weeks off. Ahhh, life is good

you need the email after that, the dispatched email.

scotty32 · 27 Jun 2006 at 20:58

Gah, I just have the 'received', and the 'accepted' email. No 'despatched'. Looks like I'll have to wait till Thursday for my goodies

It depends how busy the warehouse people are. But I believe it's often somwehere between 3pm and 4pm.

Getting orders in earlier is of course better.
