Waiting (rather anxiously I may add) for my Saint groupset to turn up from CRC... it was shipped yesterday according to email, at 3:12pm.

Tried to track it on CRC webby with the tracking number they gave, but it's not coming up with anything!?!? As usual! :evil:

    Did you go for next day delivery?

    I hate waiting for stuff... i've taken a day off uni waiting for parts, only for them to arrive a 5pm :evil:

    Its even worse when your retarded flat mate doesn't get the door.... "oh I herd the doorbell go, but I didn't know who it was so I didn't go open it" - yea you gotta open the door to ind that one out love.

    Oh,,, AND the postie round here is a tit.
    He rings the bell and immediately starts walking back to his van. If you're not opening the door before her gets back in his van then he'll feck off and you've got another 2 day wait for your parcel!

    That's why it's called 48 hour delivery... :roll:

    And if it was only shipped yesterday (and going off your OP that would be a Friday) you can forget it being delivered today. Tuesday's probably the earliest you'll see it. Especially if they've sent it Parcel Farce.

    Well obviously I know it's 48 delivery= 2 days.... :wink:

    BUT, normally when I have ordered something on a Thurs/it's shipped on the Friday it turns up Saturday, historically that has been the case.

    I have things I could be doing today, but bet yuor bottom dollar if I go out it will turn up - Sod's Law... :twisted:

    Now we're talking........ :wink:

    Just get your hopes up, was going to work on the rig today, but then realised that wasn't going to happen, then though "well if it turns up later, that will be a nice way to spend Sunday afternoon"... but oh no, now NOTHING to do!!!

    I have to at least strip the old kit off as I have sold it, but wanted to get shiny new things on there as well..... :cry:
