Default Why is ordering from CPC/Farnell such hard work?

Strangely, both are still marked as Processing today, which is rather
unusal - normally they manage to get the goods out of the door the same
day, even when you order at 6pm.


I've found that is often just that they forgot to update the system...you
may still get it today.


You are spot on - both turned up at lunchtime, even though it still
says "Processing" on the website.

The 8' aerial mast raised a smile with the delivery driver.
