WOW, I could not believe my eyes!

Had my shopping basket ready to buy:

Intel Core Duo E6600
2GB of OCZ DDR 2 6400 800Mhz RAM
Asus P5W DH Deluxe i975X

And here is the culprit, Albatron GeForce 8800GTX.

Decided to leave it for a bit as it was way past delivery deadline. When I came back it had reset its self so I did all the shopping again only to find that the graphics card had gone up by around £30 pounds within 1 hour, all because there was less of them! Now that is nasty supply and demand trading. :x

I'll check the price logs

hmm, £412.35
it may be due to an error in the intiial pricing
or someone felt we need more bubbly for the xmas party :wink:

I'll see if I can find out

Thanks, it would be helpful if you could put it back to its original price tomorrow. I think the original total cost came to £956ish and the new inflated price was £989.78.

Thanks for checking the logs, can it be restored to the original price for tomorrow?

OOOW :cry: maybe a 1 off? just for me? since I’m wanting to buy a system :wink:

Thanks for the welcome and the curiously seemingly late customer support service.

I can't really do much with the price myself

Thanks for all the work you have done. I contacted the person you told me to and all got sorted and bought the kit.

Just one thing. I ordered the stuff at 3:50pm and the person assured me that it will get shipped today without fail, I have received an email that it’s been dispatched at the warehouse, but I am still waiting for a consignment number, current time 6:10pm, does that mean I won’t get it on the 30th?

Thanks

Should be ok, there can be a delay with the Consignment number email sometimes

if you have your order number you can track it with the customer Ref feild on City LInks Site

http://www.city-link.co.uk/track_parcel/track_parcel.php?jobno=&custref=


Order number is in the format

SOR-T12345

Thanks,

I do have an order number like that, then when I do punch it up it replies to me with no order exists under this.
