Friday evening I ordered a new car door handle off of a trader on Ebay. £9.99 free postage.
Items I buy are delivered to the works address, there's more likely to be someone in to collect or sign for deliveries.
I expected it to turn up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Been to the works address this (Sunday) afternoon to fetch our taxi's ready for an early start Monday morning.
I unlocked the door and it made a scraping noise as I opened it, there's a parcel on the floor for me.
It's from Amazon, I'm intrigued, I haven't ordered anything from them ??
I opened it, it's my door handle. Gobsmacked is not the word.
Free courier delivery on an item bought Friday evening delivered in less than 48 hours at the weekend. Unbelievable MD
Here's a link to his Ebay shop. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Doctor-Auto-LTD?_rdc=1 (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Doctor-Auto-LTD?_rdc=1)

Very impressive mate.
Funnily enough I was thinking about this subject when I went to order a shirt online last week - the website quoted 14 to 21 days delivery... :o

It was a few years ago,on Ebay I bought some clips to repair our vertical blind - 'Posted same day if ordered before 3pm'. What it didn't say was - '...and delivered the next day' but they were. They cost about £4 including postage, incredible service; both by the seller and by Royal Mail. Since then our post delivery has drifted from 8.30am to 11.45am and of course no second delivery, cards left when we're in and without the bell being rung...
