Thats all well and good, but what I can't get my head round is this.

I ordered 2 items, one on day 1, one on day 3. Let's number them 1 and 2.

Item 1 was posted. I then ordered item 2. Both from the same shop in Nottingham.

Item 2 reached me the next day, item 1 is still somewhere other than my house. How can that be so? Why wasn't item 2 delayed?

Fell off a conveyer somewhere, sitting in a sorting office/at the back of a van waiting for someone to notice it, postman liked the look of it...

It'll most likely turn up.

I could understand 1, but 3, from 3 different points in the UK? :confused:

Not bad mat, no where near steelseries quality though, its almost 1/4 of the thickness!

Considering there's probably been at least 500 pre-orders (can remember seeing the exact number somewhere, but can't really remember) a rate of less than 1% isn't too bad. I've waited a month for an item in the past, which was lost and then later recovered, these things happen.

I approve of the hook for the headphones ^^^ might steal that idea.

Just staying 'off-topic' for a bit longer, can I ask about the desk?

I think we may have seen a bit more of it before, but it looks like a good solid job, and I was wondering whether it is a bespoke, or an 'off the shelf' model, as it is the sort of thing I am currently looking for.

Could you tell me a bit more about it please?

Thanks!

It's just a coat hook that sits on top of any internal door.

Sure I bought it from my Mum's catalogue (Littlewoods) when it was on sale for £99.00. Check the site out and search for 'Melbourne Desk'

It came flat packed in 2 boxes and took a couple of hours to build.

Many thanks for such a quick reply!

They are currently asking £179 for that particular one, but there are quite a few similar looking ones which I shall now investigate a bit further.

It certainly looks as if it will accomodate this lage mat without any problems anyway!

Ordered mine yesterday, say it's been dispatched.

Packing wise OCUK could offer a few options, jifi bag it, one big un or 2 togther. Film wrap, i've used this stuff.

Mine came salvo. Packing was beating to a pulp, damp, riped! One was not amused. The matt however was fine! Had too roll it the other way so it would flatten out some. My keybord is a lot more silent on the desk now and the mouse is amazing

do these mats curl after some use?

rikky · 9 Jun 2011 at 00:37

Wow got my pair a couple of days ago - after the courier seemingly attempted delivery about 4 times beforehand. :rolleyes:

Question is why am I more excited over this purchase than say speccing, buying and then building my own £800 gaming pc.

TaKeN · 9 Jun 2011 at 10:04

Still loving mine too!

Although I'm wishing I'd bought 2 or 3 at £8.99 or however much they were. New price is a little bit arse clenching :eek:
