(UK) Windows 7 deliveries?

[piattj]

Seems that, in the UK, a postal strike is set for *** 22 Oct ***! Seems we might get a late delivery of our lovely new OS !!!

Anybody any insight...? eg I ordered (as many will have done) from Amazon to take advantage of early discount. I see conflicting news about Amazon's strategies to cope with Royal Mail strike...

Well, I am in the know to know, lol, that another well known Parcel delivery company will getting a lot of work from Amazon, so I wouldn't worry too much about items like that, your post however is a different story, which I don't know anything about btw.

I ordered mine from play.com so not sure what the situation is with them.

Yup, 2 24hr strikes have been scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd

I've just emailed Amazon to ask how they will be dealing with this, I'll post again if/when I hear back.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns.

I wish to take this opportunity to assure you that Amazon.co.uk will be doing everything it can to ensure that customer orders are not disrupted as a result of Industrial Action at Royal Mail. This will include routing orders through our other carrier partners.

Once it has been dispatched, we will send you an e-mail message confirming the date, contents, and method of delivery.

So fingers crossed.

I'll have to check as I ordered mine through Tesco so will have to see if they have any plans.
Mind you they could always deliver it with my shopping which will be the 22nd anyway

Ahh...Unions..gotta love em.

Just phoned Tesco and they are aware of the situation with the strike and said they will do their best to get it delivered on time or as soon as.

So it's a case of keep fingers crossed and hope for the best

I've just checked my Amazon account and it's now saying "dispatching soon" and "We are preparing these items for dispatch and this part of your order cannot be cancelled or changed"


So hopefully it will be sent out sometime today for delivery tomorrow

Can't wait
