Delivery

Whats the difference between the PCS EXTRA-CARE DIAMOND DELIVERY - MON-FRI, PRE-NOON (£9) and the standard delivery? other than the pre noon, and do you get told when the laptop will be delivered?

I think Diamond delivery means PCS send out a sniper (Gorman usually, though this has never been confirmed nor denied) to watch the driver, and if he/she so much as dents the thick outer box...BOOM!! HEADSHOT!!!

or...I don't know...not sure which tbh...

The only difference is that you'll definitely get it before noon.

And you get texted (on the day of delivery) the hour time slot in which it will arrive - though this applies to standard deliveries as well

That deserves rep, hilarious, just picture it.

Oh okay i might change it back to standard then, although its in building so will a £5 still occur? im hoping not as its just the delivery.

No, It shouldn't. It will not add any additional cost to change delivery methods at any stage of the building process as far as I know.

Its all that + they take extra care through the shipping process.

So is extra care taken or is it just difference in times like other people have said? im just clarifying.

Can you request for it to be delivered on a specific day?

 

[keynes]

I don't think they take extra care. That will be just a mess to discriminate between services, all parcels should be treated the same way. In my opinion the diamond service only refers to pre-noon with respect to time. I did choose the diamond service but because of work commitments, the usb ports arrived not working due to a mishandling during transit I assume.

Once your item is ready for dispatch you can delay the delivery, if it is Saturday you need to pay extra.

Just been to amend it but it still costs £5 to amend the delivery so im just gonna leave it.

Call pc specialist or use the live chatting. i had the same issue and I was not charged for delivery changes, I was only charge when I change a component.

Heres a quote on it from PCS: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forum...elivery-Services&p=92282&viewfull=1#post92282

The parcels are treated with more priority than a standard next day parcel. The parcels leave the depot on earlier scheduled lorries and are placed at the back, so are first off. They will be on the priority delivery list on the vans and therefore more likely to be delivered than the remaining standard parcels on the van. Basically they parcels are treated like a VIP.

This means that the "extra-care" is just related to the schedule of the delivery?

 

[Xoil]

Extra care get a priority through the DPD network and the pcs are last on the van, so first off for delivery.

 

[keynes]

Thanks for the link.

 

[grizzlybear]

Thanks good to clear that up, my laptop is awaiting dispatch so if its dispatched by 3pm today do you think i will get it for tomorrow?

 

[keynes]

It should, usually next day delivery if you get the "awaiting despatch" today

 

[Xoil]

If its awaiting dispatch today it will arrive tomorrow most likely

 

[grizzlybear]

It was dispatched at 1:30 today
