Is Sendit.com a good, reliable site?

[stargazeruk]

I use thehut.com and zavvi.com and never had an order ship late and always had it early.

The other sites runned buy thehut group (that is including sendit) have been hit and miss as to weather it is shipped early or late.

Play.com, tesco-entertainment and hmv.com are reliable sources I order from as well.

Amazon jersey partner ships early and is reliable (using the supersaver free shipping) but when it states shipped from amazon.co.uk I never order unless the price is to good to be true cause they never ship ontime unless you select their first class or amazon prime and I refuse to pay to have it shipped and on my door step when I get that a standard from else where including their partners.

Possibly used to be. They used to be a lot cheaper with faster service, but it's seems to be going the other way these last few years.

As far as general ordering (I'm excluding pre-orders here as I rarely, if ever pre-order), I'd say Amazon are the king, definitely. They even give you the Amazon Prime delivery trial every year or so for a whole month free too I believe (I've had 2 months free over the last couple years).

I've only ordered from Zavvi a few times but never had a problem, and always received the item in under a week.

The only online retailer that I'd genuinely recommend avoiding is Bee as they seem to just reseal second hand copies and pass them off as new - albeit at great prices, but if they're going to dupe people on their items, then I don't want to know what their customer support will be like.

I'd say The Hut group, Play and Amazon are all reliable online retailers. The Hut do seem to take an extra day or two with their delivery, but as long as it arrives in new condition and is as cheap as many of their items then I can't really complain.

Play.com once posted a digital camera to my mum in a flimsy plastic bag... relying solely on the cameras box..

Yeah, this is blu-ray.com not Digital Camera Discounts.

It's a discussion about the reliability of the sites and companies in general, go eat a Kit-Kat.

In that case then. The next time you buy a digital camera and find the cheapest price, don't expect it to be sent in a gold casket couriered by an armoured guard. MEEEOW!!!
