    Fast mail order service - blimey!

    Yesterday afternoon, about 13:00, Mrs BI placed an order with Cult Pens. Within the hour the confirmation email arrived saying "Order despatched".

    The postman delivered it (1st class post) about 10 minutes ago.

    From placing the order online to delivery, just over 22 hours!

    I didn't know anyone still provided that level of service.

      Who was the supplier? You can kiss all that goodbye if Gordon has his way..

        I ordered tickets from the trianline.com at 16:00 and they arrived next morning.

        They were sent from Edinburgh and I live near Bristol.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Amazon Prime is brilliant. Although I do get a little 1-Click happy sometimes.

          I've ordered stuff at 6pm, and got it the next morning before.

                    I order tickets from the Swiss railway system. I paid by credit card and printed the tickets.
