Ordered a new DWD drive for my PC (thatnks to that nice Mr Rumm for
his help yet again) from EBuyer.

Their web site xmas delivery page said stuff ordered on Weds would be
delivered on Thurs, so i paid £8 extra for the service.

Tracked the order on City Link web site which said delivery Thurs
between 7.30 & 12.00.

Still not here.

Eventually got the local City Link depot to answer their phone this
morning - the parcel isn't even there!

"We have a backlog due to the snow".

Why do people tell porkies on their websites?

Another day wasted. PC it bits on dining room table. SWMBO not happy
with mess or me pinching her PC :-(

IMO City Stink are about the most useless delivery agents on the
planet. I keep telling on-line suppliers that if they send another one
via City Skunk it'll be the last order they get from me. And that
includes Amazon.

They sent my last book order via Glasgow depot, just as the snow
started to fall.....

Commiserations.

P.S. is a DWD drive like a DVD drive, but with a stutter?
