I had experience of DD last week and it wasn't entirely favourable.  I
orderd a 32mb DIMM and some CD-Rs on Mondya and was told it's be here by
Friday probably on Wednesday, it hadn't turned up by 12 noon on the
Firday so I called them (Couriers invaribably make their deliveries to
my house between 10-11am if they are going to deliver atall) and was
told it was sent ont he monday I ordered it was deffinitely on it's way
today.  Nothing arrived, I called Saturday morning and was greeted with
"We are currently closed for a stocktake, please call back in 1 hour",
so I did every hour up until 6pm and got the same message every time,
ditto Sunday.  On Monday it hadn't arrived by 12 noon so I called and
spoke to one of thier staff who eventually found the order and said it
hadn't been sent and she'd call back to tell me why.  They actually
called back and whilst digging around she finally found the order and
told me it had indeed been sent and would be there by 1am, Cash on
Delivery, I'd actually asked to pay by credit card and they'd taken the
details, she assured me I wouldn't be charged on the card (and I wasn't)
and could I pay COD which was fine.  Still by 1:30 no courier, I called
back and she confirmed all my details again and said she'd have a word
with the couriers (she had already said that the couriers they used were
as good as useless anyway and had blamed the delays on them) anyway I
finally got a call from the courier who gave my details only to find out
that DD had put the wrong address on the box, an hour or so later it
finally arrived, hardly what I expected from a comapny who charges 9
quid odd for 24 hour delivery.
If I was you I'd call DABS, they were a quid cheaper on the DIMM I
wanted and their delivery is cheaper too, it's a pitty their CD-Rs are
so expensive otherwise I would have ordered my stuff from them like I
normally do. 0800 680000 if you are interested.
