Yup. Common story. :sad:

I had bit similar story when I was ordering my computer parts. When I ordered my gfx card it was said to arrive Dec 20th (larger shipment in store). Around 18th they changed the info on their page to Dec 31st. So I called them and asked is that date verified, how many do they get and am I among those who get it that day. Answers were: "no", "no idea" and "we'll see" :taz:

Didn't want to wait and ordered it from other store. I probably should have ordered the other parts too, because it was bit same thing with the HDD - wanted WD, but had to take Samsung or I would be still waiting for it. :sideways:

If you can, order it from another place.

I'd have taken Samsung in the first place, been great little drives.

Some sales support is appalling to be honest, from a number of places. It's nice when you find a place that's good, like I've found Specialtech to be.

I make use of my free shipping from Scan so I tolerate their sometimes wayward delivery and stock estimates.

And buy a wheel!

Oh, you tried:doh:

Blimey! You managed to actually speak to a real person :blink:

I used to deal with the company in Doormans link all the time, but after a couple of friends had big troubles getting stuff replaced :rant:I only use them when I have to now.

I won't use WD drive's after I found out that some have hardware DRM on them, and the Samsung Spinpoint drives are excellent. :thumb: my last few drives and purchases for friends have all been Samsung.

Sorry to hear of you troubles.

Never had any trouble with Dabs, ordered a hell of a lot of stuff from them too. However, i'm still waiting for two CD's i ordered from play.com before x-mas...

Only one issue with Dabs. Similar issue to those already posted. I ordered some memory, looked to be in stock when ordered, it didn't arrive, Grr.
I rang them and they said they would ship some when the next batch came in......but with the newer more expensive price. ***.... so I cancelled.

I haven't used them since.

You only find out how good a company is when you have a problem. Anyone can shift boxes.

Dabs used to be excellent. They got successful and BT bought them.

I now use Scan, yes I've had probs with Scan but they do try hard to sort it for you (in my experience)
