Poll: Which working day did your PC go into production?

[MaltonSeadog]

Just out of pure curiosity, which working day did your PC go into production?

[Rakk]

I presume you mean building?

[keynes]

A PC may enter production but if items are out of stock it could remain there for a while, at least in my case. Wouldn't it be better to look at dispatch dates or testing?

Yeh Production - Building.

Not sure if this will reflect correctly on PCs personally. As the last few months have been busier which has been stated a good few times, and as most people who order now or over the last few months will be the ones on the forums it will be those votes that are counted and therefore I would imagine the results will be a little more one sided then reflect on a true rate.

Personally by the end of the vote id take the results with a grain of salt myself. At least till another poll or 2 are done at the end of the next yearly quarters. Just my opinion.

Agree

Just a disclaimer - I don't want this thread to become a judgement on PCS or a replacement for their accurate % table on the main website.

In my opinion there is no "perfect" time for a company to be judged on its performance. There will always be time contraints, supply problems and or problems due to staff shortages (holidays,sickness etc)

This poll should be taken for what it is, a mere snapshot of performance over a short period of time. Customers should regard this as such and not a total assessment of PCS ability over a larger time frame. More than this single poll would be needed to reflect that.

Perhaps you should limit this poll to orders placed within a given time period, I see none stated and therefore it is rather vague from a performance standpoint.

Yep, for instance I could easily click the 4-7 days for my desktop that wasn't fast-tracked, but then it was just less than 2 years ago when it wasn't quite so busy.
Though even if you do limit it to more recent purchases, it won't be anywhere near accurate, there are a lot of people who order than never even go to the forums, and these are much more likely to be the people that got them quickly with no stock shortages etc holding things up. People often visit forums only when they have a problem.

And the point of this thread is ....?

[HelBic]

Hmmm... one point that doesn't seem to have been made is that, if they are extremely busy then rather than have customers waiting; customers who have paid up front for their order, wouldn't it be better to employ more staff? That way they'd maintain their fast build reputation whilst also keeping the (punter) customer happy. My story is that my laptop is in production, awaiting a CPU which I beleive arrives today, so will be good to see final unit arrive, hoepfully later this week.
