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".


I placed an internet order on a site that said the company was closed
until next Tuesday and on Tuesday placed an order with Amazon for
software that it said would be delivered next week. Both orders came
today. You can't rely on anyone.
