Glad everything went well.

Yep, that's eBuyer for you. They must have a big warehouse somewhere where they hold everyone's 5 day orders until they are ready for dispatch!
When I used to live in Nottingham they used to use Sh1tty, sorry CityLink, as their couriers - CityLink's "Nottingham" depot is based 8 miles away in Ilkeston Derbyshire (half way to Derby)!
Not only that the card they put through my door one day was with the Leicester depot address and contact details on it - Doh! Luckily I phoned them first and confirmed it was actually the Ilkeston depot giving out incorrect cards.
Oh, and one order (not from eBuyer but still delivered by CityLink) never arrived and got returned to the supplier. Excuses were "we couldn't find your address" the first time, "left a card" the second call (obviously NO card) and as proof said "You've got a white door". Yeah right - Just like about 75% of the rest of the houses in the country.
I suppose we can't really blame them for their choice of couriers, but despite their good prices I've now decided not to order anything from them if I want in a hurry...
