Windows 7 pre orders from PC World

Did anyone else pre order Windows 7 from PC World?

And recieve it before the postal strikes started?

They told me they shipped the pre orders early with Microsofts permission because of the postal strikes last week and that mine was shipped on the 15th. I would have expected it to arrive before the first strike day

Norty posty thort they would do something useful on their day off and upgrade their computer?

Sounds like PC World are lying if you ask me.

Mine came on the Monday19th before the strikes started.

you are lucky. I bought laptop from Dell with Vista plus the upgrade to windows 7. I have yet to receive any email or communication from them. I just dread the telephone call.

Don't answer the phone, then.

A lot of people did receive their Windows 7 from PC World before the strike, and before it was officially released, and I certainly think yours should have arrived by now. After all, there has only been one day's post missed so far (at least in my part of the country). I would be inclined to report it to PC World as lost in the post and ask for a replacement. If you're really lucky they might let you pick a copy up from your local branch.

Amazon took the more sensible step of using an alternative carrier.

Hve you registered with Dell for your upgrade. I did and it will be dispatched on the 18th Nov.

Mine came by Royal Mail on Tuesday 20/10/09, two days before the launch. Which was nice.

Have spoken to Royal Mail and PC World.

Royal Mail wont attempt to trace the package until they recieve an official claim and its 15 days or over.

PC World say they will make the claim, in the meantime they despatch replacement goods. Only the person at PC World Head Office only sanctioned 1 copy of Windows 7 it should have been 2 copies as per the original order.

Awaiting confirmation and asked them to try to ship via DHL who is the only other courier company they use.
