Angry Overclockers next day Promise

I recently bought 2 hard disks on the 31st of last month, i paid 8.49 for the next day deliver option, making my total £105.17. I ordered after the cut-off time so i was expecting two days later, which was yeasterday, unfortunately i didnt get my package so i would like to know will they try again today?

And also, would everyone recognise thier delivery companies lorries; with blue writing down the side ending in .com/.co.uk? As i saw the lorry pull up and then drive away agin.

Thankyou..
Harry

P.S, this is a very important package, as i have someone to come round and fit them for me with xp and RAID at the weekned, and Amtrak don't deliver on sat's, so it must come today.

ah, Amtrak
... we won't say anymore.


One of the companies I deal with has a side note on delivery, in that it states, they do NOT guarantee 'next day' even though you can pay for it.

Is that overclockers.co.uk?

I've had a few disagreements with them, I don't use them anymore if I can help it.

And yes, I believe they use Amtrak, another cowboy outfit I've had a few arguments with.

I use www.overclock.co.uk mostly now, their stuff usually arrives next day.

I also recently used CCL for the first time in a few years, purchased a Samsung CDRW/DVD ROM (Black) from them. Not only were they the cheapest (£33.00) but their shipping was reasonable, I ordered it at 11am one day and it showed up here at 9am the next day. Only drawback was I didn't receive any e-mails as confirmation of order.

ooo, when i get mad i really do get mad, i sent a few letters into OCUK and Amtrak to find out how i can get in touch and find that package! And now i got OCUK sucking up to me and Amtrak telling me to ring them. They're not answering. probably chucked my drives into a bush down one of the lanes. Im getting my money back

Arrow Re: Overclockers next day Promise

Well for starters i didnt know overclockers.co.uk used Amtrak =/ . I've heard/read nothing but bad about them! I think they were partly to blame with my Micro Direct calamity. Though i have never had a prblem with OCUK, ive had 2 hard drives, 2 mouse mats, a graphics card and a pack of 100 discs from them with no problems.

I would bother with paying for next day delivery, it just ads more confusion to the matter when things go wrong.

Used OCUK many many times and stuff has ALWAYS come next day. usually mid morning - so i use them whenever i can.

It's really weird - i live down an unmade lane by a golf course and every company knows how to get to us BUT at my friends house in a biggish town he gets "pinpoint problems" and everything like that.

I know im posting into an old thread but the site to check your orders with OCUK is,

http://customer.overclockers.co.uk

Enter your order number into that and click the delivery link, should redirect you to Amtrak's website to show the status of your delivery.

Regards,

Chris

Still - if it's coming next day, it's coming next day. If it's not - it's not!

Not much you can do about it.
