Xmas Posting Nightmare !

[Hotshot]

Hiya everyone,

I been waiting for two other computer and it still havnt even arrived yet but I got another computer which is CELEON 1.7 GHZ(Bought for Ã,£50!) but when I plug the monitor and power main then the PSU went BANG because I have notice that AC Main is 230 V where my power main plug is 250 V !

So I will try find the 230 Power Main plug. Sigh.

There is one things that I have learn is NOT to buy anythings during xmas on ebay because of the POSTING NIGHTMARE!

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE

The postal system is a nightmare any time of the year if anything at all goes wrong. Bunch of idiots.

Hope you get your stuff Hotshot.

I work as a parcel courier myself and you really wouldn't believe the delays and problems that some people are having, fortunately my route isn't too bad.

Indeed, I'm waiting for a comic book to be delivered, and it seems to be taking its time. Ah well, I'm sure it's worth waiting for. Any comic that has a pirate pushing a random kid in front of a car on the first page has GOT to be good.

I sent 6 packes over to europe and they are still not there. HMMM. The problem is here as well.

I ordered a new digi cam online a couple of weeks ago, I got the camera but the memory card was sent separately and they attempted to deliver it while I was out and they left a card saying it was returned to the depo. When I went to pick it up they told me it's status was successfully delivered somewhere in devonshire!!! (in a different country from where I am).

That's not a problem.  It's either 110/120 or 230/240.  Nearly all PSUs these days are autoswitching.  Even if your mains is 250 it wouldn't blow the PSU.  Perhaps it got damp in transit or something?

This may need to be combined with the rant thread

I went to maplin and took the power plug. They found out the fuse blow out and I put new fuse in.  I put new fuse in power plug then I put power plug to computer and I switch it on. The PSU went BANG and it got me thinking ....the PSU must be FUCK UP for some reason....it look like I need new PSU.... SIGH....bloody COMPUTER NIGHTMARE ( I was making joke to my mate saying I should be on TV called "COMPUTER FROM HELL!" LOL)

I Still havnt got ANOTHER Two computer( one is 1GHZ AMD and another one is 1.7 GHZ INTEL)

The citylink courier was going send the computer LAST FRIDAY and I Still havnt got it. So I complain to ebay man saying that citylink courier ISNT Quick enough to send BLOODY Post but it is totally understandable why XMAS POSTING is Totally Nightmare. One things for sure...I wont be buying ebay stuff during XMAS(I go to internet library every now and then)

sigh
