Still very grateful for the free delivery and like supporting OCUK when I can! Ordered a few bits this past month and considering the COVID situation it's all arrived very promptly. Just waiting on my X570 MSI Tomahawk hopefully this week! Keep up the good work guys!

You don't, northern ireland isn't part of the UK apparently. Royal Mail think we are, but nobody else.

Royal mail are required by law to provide a Universal Postal Service to all parts of the United Kingdom.

Private companies can differentiate their service by, for example, charging more to deliver to Northern Ireland. OcUK presumably don't include free delivery to Northern Ireland because the cost is prohibitive.

Doesnt seem to apply to MANY other online companies though.
Besides having to pay a high price, I would preferr Special Delivery, at least they deliver on weekends.

Does the free shipping appear with different items?

Link the items you had in your basket and I'll see if free shipping is there for me.

My free shipping option seems to have gone, i'm only getting DPD next day for £8.70 as the cheapest option. I placed an order about a week ago that was only £5 or so i got free delivery with that so i dont know what the problem is.
