It was literally only yesterday lunchtime when I ordered from Dabs some shiny new bits for my aging, yet trusty work horse of a computer as I finally caught up with my other fellow pimp geeks in getting a DVD+RW ATAPI drive and an A4 scanner. The bits I plumbed for were a Lite On SOHW-812S and a Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 respectively. Also got a box of 10 blank DVD+RW media plus an InnoVision EIO Combo IEEE 1394 + USB 2.0 PCI Adapter, the latter replacing my Belkin PoS card.
So later that evening around 8 o’clock, I get my order confirmation from Dabs saying that everything had been dispatched and I should expect it in “1 to 3 working days”, so I thought it’ll probably be Thursday if I’m lucky and more likely to be delivered Saturday. We are dealing with Royal Mail after all… whom after the fire at their Northampton sorting office in September last year, are still suffering as performance results recently published show Northampton has the worst service levels for all of Great Britain. Yaay!
You can imagine my surprise when I arrived home from work to find the parcel had already been delivered, packed with the goodies I ordered about 24 hours ago at the time of arrival. Certainly a heck of a lot faster than a certain 1st class letter my father received in about October 2003 sent just 3 miles from where we live but had taken over a month before it finally arrived… Now that’s Snail Mail™!
Can’t let exception work be gone unnoticed, so well done Dabs & Royal Mail, you’ve got one happy customer!
Anyhow, the new toys are installed and all seems to be working well. Certainly feeling rather smug with how good the kit is, so I can certainly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for such parts of that price category. :D
