Holy moly, you guys - Christmas Day is just 7 DAYS AWAY! This time next week, we'll be opening presents, eating roast dinner, and watching a boatload of brilliant Christmas telly. How exciting is that?
Still, as the big day draws ever nearer, your opportunities to purchase that perfect present get fewer. If you are planning to purchase some gifts from
gadgetinspector.co.uk, today is your LAST CHANCE to use our standard UK delivery service - if you don't place your order
BEFORE 2PM TODAY, we may not be able to get it to you by Christmas Day.
Now, if you miss this deadline, don't panic. You can still get your gadgety goodies in time for Christmas; you'll just have to use our
Next Working Day delivery service to speed things along. The deadline for
these orders is 2pm TOMORROW - that's the 19th of December. See our
Delivery page for further details.
Right, now that we've cleared all that up, we're going to go and stare longingly at our Christmas countdown panel:
It's so CLOSE!!
For the last few weeks, the Gadget Inspector homepage has been home to our very own Christmas Countdown. Here's what it looks like at time of writing:
Now, if that's not cause for excitement, we're not sure what is. Nine days! Just NINE DAYS until we can stuff ourselves with turkey and unwrap our presents and watch the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special. We can't wait!
Before any of that, however, we've some business to attend to. It has been brought to our attention that some people still haven't completed their Christmas shopping, and if you're one of those people, you may want to take a look at our Christmas Delivery Deadlines. There's not much point in purchasing a Christmas present if it's not going to arrive before the 25th, so pay attention and make sure you get your order in before it's too late...
- If you are using our Royal Mail 3-5 working days delivery service, your order must be placed BEFORE 2pm on Thursday the 18th of December.
- If you are using our Royal Mail 24hr delivery service (i.e. Next Day Delivery), then you will need to place your order BEFORE 2pm on Saturday the 20th of December.
If you miss the above deadlines, we cannot guarantee that your order will arrive in time for Christmas Day. Any orders received after 2pm on Saturday will of course be processed ASAP, but don't be surprised if they don't arrive until after the big day.
One final thing: it goes without saying that Royal Mail are exceedingly busy at this time of year, and we would like to remind our customers that, sometimes, delays are unavoidable. Since your order is being delivered by normal human beings (as opposed to a jolly old man with a magic sleigh), we will accept no liability if your order arrives slightly later than promised. Place your order now to avoid disappointment!
We received some rather fantastic news today - our new website, which went live
last month, has received a perfect five-star review from Web User, the UK's leading internet magazine!
The review praises our "
huge range of products" and calls the site "
a pleasure to browse" - they even like the way we interact with people on
Twitter!
Here's the review in full, as it appears in
Issue 358 of Web User Magazine:
