I think it's pretty pathetic on their site, but given I've only seen that 26th/30th thing and it's coming true, I have no reason at all to think they've delayed or anything, as far as I care they've gone as planned.
I think it's a failure that they expect you to wait an extra 4 days, they should have it delivered for the 26th.
That said, when a new CPU/GPU comes out, you get it next day if there's stock.
The way I see it, there's no delay, but they've mixed up dates when they've E-mailed.
Although ;
I guess you're happy when you pay for next day delivery if it turns up within 28 days?
How on Earth did you extrapolate that? Your delivery was free, it's not the same situation at all.
If I paid next day delivery for something, if it didn't arrive next day I'd have rang up and been getting my postage refund, and then seeing on how long delivery takes, cancel my order.
