    I decided on the Pakuma Choroka K2. Looks decent and much less than the crumpler cheesy disco - Worth a go at only £36.00 from red sub.

      That is the opposite of what normally happens isn't it?

        Well you may recall me saying I had ordered a bag from laptopstuff.co.uk...

        I ordered it at lunchtime on Thursday, paid extra for next day delivery and NOTHING. I expected it on Friday (next day...) or even Saturday ....nope...NOTHING.

        Well...it looks like I will go elsewhere........

        Am I being too harsh but I wonder how many other people have paid for next day delivery and not got it. The company say they cannot guarantee next day delivery...so why do they charge for it?

          Has it actually been dispatched? When I ordered my laptop it sat in their warehouse for three days before I rang up and they tracked it down. It was still sitting in their warehouse!

          I've never had an issue with delivery that I can recall. I like the home delivery network - their depot is just around the corner from our house and they manage to deliver before 8am everytime, excellent.

          Most of my issues have been with royal mail. the post man would sign for the package himself and then stuff it into the recycling box. Great system. I've complained on numerous occaisions, but he still does it.

          Oh BTW, next day often means next working day. Saturday is not a working day.

            My issue is that I have paid for next day delivery and they say they cannot guarantee it...well I know that because I didn't get it so I have told them to cancel and I will get from somewhere else.....it's the principle!!!

              Great system I know. I've stopped sending stuff first class now as well. Who is their courier company? Is it just Royal Mail or whatever their courier arm is?

              They don't call this "rip-off Britian" for nothing you know! I've paid £6 for delivery on my bag, and it will take a week to get here. In most countries..I that much would get me express overnight to your door by 8am.

                Well I mailed them and told them to cancel it. If it arrives, they can come and collect it and give me a refund...sounds picky I know but a man has to have principles!!!

                  Have you checked the T&C? In most cases you won't get a full refund once the item has been dispatched. Unless the item is faulty in some way, you may incur charges - those famous "restocking" fees.

                  I'd ring them up and have a polite chat. From experience e-mails and letters are often ignored.

                    From their website:

                    Cancellation Right
                    Under the distance selling regulations you have the legal right to cancel your order within seven working days of receipt of the goods. Where goods are delivered to a third party you will only be able to exercise this right if you are able to return to us the goods you ordered.

                      Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that.
