My bro ordered a new upgrade from o2 at 7:30pm last night, I know it was this time as I was there.

The phone arrived by DHL at 11am this morning.

I don't understand.

Ask a silly question, get a sensible answer

I had it happen with Dell, ordered a new battery late one night, it arrived early next morning.

Guess it depends on how quickly it gets out to the depot, assumming the Courier doesn;t do all the logistics, so didn't just have to take it out their own warehouse.

I think some places have 24h automated stock control warehouses, so the order is passed through, a box is pulled from a shelf, letter and address printed, and picked up by the couriers in the early hours.

Picked overnight and chucked on a sameday delivery wagon at 0700 to arrive pre1200.

Standard procedures for a 24 hour facility.

Put the parcel tracking number into the DHL website and see how it happened.

Then wouldn't it have arrived before he placed the order? Duh

Meanwhile at O2's HQ....

It's not a real war-zone until DHL are behind schedule.

This is what they do. It is what The Post Office should be doing.
