Well let's hope I'm at the house when my package arrives, we don't have to pay for the delivery do we?

nope you dont :)

No idea why the parcel has been shipped all the way back down to Leeds though :S usually it just stays at the service centre till next day.

What on earth is going on :S This seems like alot more travelling that is required for a fragile machine like a PC....

BTW I went to Inverness :D

It wouldn't have been, it probably just stayed in Leeds all day, and possibly the thing from Inverness Service Centre was just a notification that all deliveries to there were delayed and so it stayed put.

True Rakk, didnt think of that. Yeah the tracker lies alot

Rakk has read this right, the tracker speaks the truth. All it says is that the package is in Manchester as the Inverness branch is not accepting goods, probably due to the white stuff.

I would be very suprised if this arrives today, unless the tracker has since been updated.

Dont worry, DHL are well known for the old "delayed adverse weather" trick lol. Google it youll find an account from some guy who had that message for well over 2 weeks!

Still not quite sure how InterLink managed to deliver my parcel to my address when we had 7 inches of snow still? It was the Thursday when it had fallen overnight. I recieved an email in the morning sayig it would be delivered between 13:39 and 14:39, I said to myself, nah theyll be a bit late with this weather but ill forgive them.

But NO! They turned up at 13:41 on the dot! Now THAT is service for you. Before you ask, my parcel came from up north somewhere so it DID travel through most of the snow right to my very doorstep which still had a very modest 7 inches of snow.

2 weeks? :O I paid for 5 day fast track, and the £19 extra because I live in the North of Scotland.

dam!!!!!! arrived at depot on 3rd (leeds to chelmsford is now clear/safe - bye snow!) . BUT i never new they deliver on SUNDAY!!??! I left saturday night for ipswich and arrived home just 1 hour ago to find DHL card. It bascially says that if they do not hear from me then they will redeliver the next working day. I am asking wether they actually do this??- so am i right by saying tomorrow (monday) i will get my delivery (ofcourse anytime between ther working hours).?

Yes - you should get it. I'm pretty sure they delivered on Sunday due to snow, better to try and deliver on a Sunday that not at all, right?

Didn't really have much snow here, and the roads was fairly clear, maybe an inch of snow at max...

From my experience of couriers their trackers are less than accurate. For example i had an order from the usa shipped by UPS if their tracker was to be belived it went from the local office to a hub, to their international hub, back to the hub, then to the international hub, then flew to midlands hub, back to us hub, back to the midlands then my local hub then finally to me lol.
However with Parcel Force if it says it's shipped from North Wales (my company) going to Southampton and it appears in Scotland it actually is in Scotland. They did that once to often so i now use a different courier.

Haha tell me about it. It's like when you order a computer game and you know it'll arrive by release date, I mean it always arrives on release date. However you spend the whole day pacing outside the front door freaking out if it'll come or not!
