Don't recognise this HDNL, maybe it only operates in England? In fairness to Amazon I have dealt with them from N Ireland past 6 yrs total value up to £1000pa and found them excellent. Most deliveries Royal Mail (maybe I'm lucky) a few DHL. Maybe VERY lucky as I do know about the dump&run brigade.

They use the Royal Mail for games and i think its TNT for the bigger stuff,you have a choice with the games when you order .........You can have first class delivery [free] not signed for or if you prefer you can have a delivery where you have to sign.[free also]

Like i said i can only go on my experiences and have found them to be really fantastic service wise and cheaper than a lot of other online retailers such as Game.

Game got complacent in my book as i used them for games for many years and i shopped nowhere else,but after failing to meet game release dates on many occasions i gave up with there service.

I have had a really smooth experience with Shopto.net and until they mess up which has never happened i will continue to use them.

its quite possible the Home Delivery Network have bitten off more than they can chew and logistically are finding its harder. Amazon have contracts with RM as well and so do alot of the larger online stores. Only recently had issues with RM due to weather at xmas but not fully to blame, just as well I have inside info tongue Felt sorry for joe public as its taken 3 weeks to deliver parcels in my area!!

My six year spend is a lot more than that.

HDNL has in the past being OK, most annoying thing is am pretty convinced the van I saw turn around was a HDNL (i.e. plain white which they seem to use) which meant any GPS log shows them coming to my address.

Refund is processing from Amazon currently, if they had wanted me as a customer then an expidited order on Friday via Royal Mail Special Saturday delivery would have kept me as a faithful customer.

royal mail are horrible they never deliver my normal mail before 3pm and recently they delivered a special delivery item to the wrong address and neither RM or amazon could have cared less had to go and buy the item in town.

if anyone knows a online store on par with amazon with prices for films and uses a decent carrier (dpd/ukmail) please post them, i am wary of placing expensive orders now, other items i would have bought from amazon (camera equipment, games) have been easy to source but there dont seem to be any decent sites for purchasing films

"royal mail are horrible they never deliver my normal mail before 3pm"

well got news for you its gonna get worse, the business want to extend the delivery day so expect mail to be delivered at night. Normal mail deliveries are not guaranteed or time limited. On the whole if you can find a better value mail service anywhere in Europe for that matter I`ll eat my hat laugh !! but thats not to say it can`t be improved!
