The Time Has Come

Anyway to ask PCS to not ship with DPD? My PC is in build and I'm extremely worried about PDP delivering it, heard nothing but bad about them on here and in personal life, they're like Hermes and would prefer to have someone else deliver it, even Royal mail as bad as they are sound like they'd look after it better.

Me too! NI perhaps are different, but we have experienced nothing but poor handling from them.
Judging by the banana shaped PCs on here at the moment something must be going badly wrong! It takes seriously substandard handling to dent a PC when they come packaged as well as they do from PCS.
Yeah you would really have to put the effort in to damage them the way some of them have been damaged, I've got 5 PC's from PCS in the past year and a half and all of them we're delivered pristine. Might be a case of having a driver who genuinely cares though. I know he handed me my personal PC into my hands without it ever touching the ground

Realistically, in a forum setting you are going to have a disproportionate amount of negativity. I'm sure that in reality the vast majority of PCs delivered are actually fine. It doesn't change the fact that I'm dissatisfied by my DPD driver in this case though, but I genuinely believe he is an exception as opposed to the norm.
That's what I hope my driver will do, I will wait on the street and hunt them down if they claim they tried to deliver it and couldn't haha

In an effort to seem more balanced:
DPD were actually brilliant with the delivery of my PC, and the RMA for the replacement part I received last week. My local DPD driver is excellent, and yes, I did my good deed and gave him 5/5 stars and a little message telling him he had earned a noddy badge.
The trouble is that people presume that everybody is capable of doing their job properly and never give them any thanks for it. Sadly it's a totally different story when it goes wrong!

i was waiting by the block front door when my delivery arrived as I live in an apartment and the door buzzer system for my flat is partially broken. i had to ask him if he would carry it up the stairs for me as i'd recently had surgery and couldn't lift heavy objects. he was perfectly happy to do that for me.
it can depend on the driver and the mood they are in...

I’m also incredibly lucky with our DPD drivers, I use them an awful lot, and will pay the extra for their service if it’s offered. We’ve got 2 regular drivers who’ve been the same for years and they’ve always been absolutely superb, never a problem.
That was incredibly nice of them! Always nice to hear of a little human kindness.
And as you of all people would know, ‘once they drop, they can’t stop’

I might have missed something earlier in this thread, but are we presuming that this is a GPU problem? Couldn't they just send a replacement part out?
Edit: My bad case was fine, just couldn't isolate the error so had to be sent back. Mixed this up with another RMA

There we go. This thread got real long real quick!
Yeah it's because we all like @MrWilson and just want to see him happy with his new PC. All of us are keeping an eye on it in a sense

This is going to be a true saga once it ends. From speccing the build, to sorting out peripherals, to delivery time, arrival. Then the plot twist, with the boot issues, the RMA, the "drop", and hopefully the happy ending when I receive my fixed PC.
