Why is it you can order a pizza and have it delivered within 30 minutes yet when you order anything else over the internet you have to wait a couple of days??? Why can't they send someone round to your house with it straight away or within a couple of hours?
When I see something I want on the internet, I want it NOW. not "within 28 days".

So thats Friday to Wednesday then? Suppose the bank holiday caused some delay as I thought mine would have been here today as it was sent on Monday. Hopefully its here tommorow.

Yep I got it today, not there was a rush since I was going to save it for this weekend anyway, so I could catch up buy watching the original again.

A few do that.

You can get a pizza in 30 mins, thats because your likely to have at least 1 pizza shop with a 30 min journey time. Plus they send it to you specially. Think how much p+p would be if you had the same sort of service with a DVD or a game. Would be nice to order a game in the morning and get it with in a hour and be able to play it all day, instead of waiting a few days.

I saw Tesco and in store its £16.99 which I was annoyed about. Didnt think Argos or Dixons would be that cheap. I was on holiday so couldnt order it before I went and ordered it a few days after I got back from play.com. Think play.com would have sent it out early as I had the first LOTR about 9 days before release.

Play do it 15.99, when you could have ordered from XXXX for 17.99, which includes a free 12.99 value book, and paid 1.50 postage, and you'd have had it last Wednesday.

Alternatively Tesco does it 15.99 online, argos does it 14.99 in store, as does Dixons. Play aren't as cheap as they used to be.

Weekend thats why. Normally takes 2 days from being posted if say it was posted today. I ordered my copy yesterday and with in a few hours it was already packed and waiting, was posted last night. Looked at my order history and saw that most DVDs took 2 days to deliver so I should get mine tommorow. You should have got yours today but as it was a long weekend it may be delayed a day.

I'm still waiting for The Two Towerts DVD from Play, which was posted last Friday. Still I did order it from a site which is based in Jersey, so it was obviously going to be a little later than if I ordered it from in the UK.
