DrivingTheDream Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 How long does delivery usually take on items? I had an email last Monday saying my 4 items had been posted, I received 1 on Friday but nothing else yet. I think I'm more worried about the things getting pinched in the RM system than anything else as there sent in pretty stupid packaging which a thief would instantly know what it is. Anyone had problems in the past with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Used them a few times and always received my stuff within 48 hours, but last one took 2 weeks to arrive, even after receiving an email saying dispatched after 24 hours of my purchase.

Havard Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Surely they will send items on recorded delivery? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzC Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've always had stuff quickly from them. I'm currently waiting fir some items from HMV which were ordered a week ago and not received them yet. I think it's just a reflection on the quantity of mail in the system at this time of year so wouldn't worry just yet;. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ads Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Were the items different in size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've bought loads off them...averages about 3 days for postage, but as this is the silly season expect postal times to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 If it is small stuff it is via the postal service and is normally 2 to 3 days. I got my xbox (ordered saturday) today so they are pretty good with the heavy more expensive items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The only item I ever ordered from play.com got lost in the post. But, on the upside, they sent me another one eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I wouldn't expect prompt service from the UK's postal service, especially not at this time of year. A mate of mine has been waiting over a week since Amazon emailed her to say they'd sent some stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm still waiting for loads of stuff from loads of places. Royal Mail are the problem. Caught out again by the unexpected Xmas rush. You'd think they'd have learnt by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'll give it a bit longer than before emailing them then. There were 3 CD's and 1 DVD. 1 CD has turned up but the rest havent which I thought strange. I guess I just find it amazing that they send so many obviously packaged items "normal" post and trust the RM not to pinch them. I never send anything of worth without signature/insurance.

Supragal Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Don't worry about the fact that 1 has turned up and the others haven't as an incident on it's own, it depends which robot is picking it from the warehouse But the fact it's been a while and the time of year etc combined is a bit of a worry, they are normally a bit delayed. Usually 3 or 4 days tops though. You have NO idea how busy they are at this time of year either!! Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I buy stuff all the time from them - pretty much weekly, and usually things turn up within 3 or 4 days of the dispatch email being sent. Had a couple of things not turn up or the wrong item being sent though. They do send the more expensive things by recorded delivery, but all the little things like DVDs get sent out with a sticker saying what it is and the value of it, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few things get thieved by the post men...

creative Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 just received a few blu ray discs from them this week. Took a little over a week and the box set I ordered came through the following day. Over all not too bad for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
