I went on ebuyer on Wednesday and got the bulk of the parts for my new computer, but they didn't have the graphics card I wanted so I got that from Play.com. It's been marked as "Order Taken" since Wednesday whereas the stuff from ebuyer arrived in 2 days (and that was with super saver delivery for next thursday. Anyone got an idea how long it will take to get here? +rep for help.
All I can say is that I had an order on play.com myself, which was before Christmas and when I rang up they said that there wasn't enough people buying the product. Therefore I can't give you an idea how long it will if they are bought many a time, but if not read above.
Usually I'd get stuff from play 2 days after ordering it, so if I ordered on Wednesday it would come on Friday.
A couple of days, not long.
yeah that's the same with me the longest anythings taken for me from play is 4 days :)
I got a parcel today which I ordered on Thursday :) Depends where the depot is for you. I beleive I am quite close to it and the despatch place. Glouster (from my knowledge of a friend at uni there) is pretty average, so about 2-4 days most :)
Make sure it's in stock, play.com have always been superb for delivery for me except one item that went out of stock just after i hit order so im waiting on that. But its never taken more than 3 or 4 days.
They despatch from Guernsey AFAIKQuote:

Not to mention its my first ever time using Play.com, do you think I will get any compensation? I looked on their ToS and FAQ and it says if it hasn't been dispatched within 21 days then contact them?
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Due to a combination of me being sick of waiting and I can get the same card cheaper and quicker from ebuyer, I'm gonna cancel the order.
I'd contact them when their phone centre opens at 9am like I'm going to. Good luck to you mate :)Quote:

Monday - Saturday - 2 Days Tops.
Christmas - 4 Days Tops.
Weather (Now) - 7 Days Tops.
TBH you will get it in like 3 days maybe even 2, if you order it tonight you will have it by tuesday.
I ordered the bulk of my computer on Wednesday, got the free 5 working day delivery and they arrived on Friday. This morning I ordered the gfx card from ebuyer with next day delivery and it arrived at the local post office this afternoon, but it was still cheaper even with £9.99 extra for postage lol. Just gotta wait until monday morning then I can go pick it up :DQuote:

Play.com is also used & new and if you buy it from a playtrader it all depends on when they dispatch it.
Two dasies.
Mine still has not been dispatched. :rolleyes:
3 or less business days for every time I've ever ordered anything (10 times, ish)
