I ordered a digital Panasonic camera at end of Aug from Ibood. It was stated 7 Day delivery, but only got it last week by 'An Post'.:(

I hope your monitor is delivered by courier instead.

iBood use TNT ... TNT are not just a courier!! they are the normal postal service in the Netherlands.

I never have an issue with delivery, usually take 2 - 3 days. I'd say An Post is the issue there.

God bless your eyesight but that's a ludicrous resolution to use on a 15" screen, icons and text would be minuscule.

Doesn't mean anything.
Some stuff I ordered in December of last year, and which I've had since early Feb, is still listed as being "in progress".
They don't update the status page (ever as far as I can see.....)

I've placed 16 orders with them since Oct 07- the longest delivery time was 10 weeks, the shortest 3 days. It varies greatly. If you're worried about your order you should e-mail them on: customerservice@ibood.com or call 0031-20-68-11-388 (quoting the order number in your confirmation e-mail).

I had a Philips 22" CRT which I acquired from the X-Ray Department in Vincents when they were upgrading their equipment. The picture is amazing on it- but its 72kg in weight- and needs a reinforced table (never mind 3 people to lift it).

IBOOD delivery system = A Mess.

I've already said it above but it really isn't worth the few euros savings you make with them.

Yeah, thats common enough with their delivery. It's to hide the fact that it is pretty awful. Blame an Post all you want, but when they hand out tracking numbers hand over fist that dont work... well, be your own judge.

Still, as I've said before, if you ring em up and talk to someone you can usually expect your goods to arrive within 2-3 weeks of the phone conversation.

Several times I've been charged, no sign of items for weeks. When I eventually ring, in these cases, it is usually a case of "Oh, your credit card didnt clear right but... uhmm... yeah, we still have one in stock I can send you".

Be patient with Ibood and you'll be rewarded; if patience isnt your deal, then just move along and pay the extra few quid on some other site. Its a pretty simple trade-off imho and one that has worked out for me pretty well, thus far.

Ah! It's worth it alright. Once you know delivery is slow. Have got a few bargains and they have always arrived. Patience is a virtue indeed.

Mine arrived via DPD this morning, thank god the local DPD lads know my workplace cause thats just about all that was on it, Their online ordering system constantly cocks up my address but ah well.

Mine hasn't turned up yet (despite an e-mail advising me delivery was imminent last Thursday)

At least its not urgent......

MunsterCycling · 06-10-2008 11:55am

Rang about my monitor, it is in th UK as of the 03/10/08 and got the tracking number for it with DPD, one thing to remember is to use the Netherlands site for entering your tracking code as the Irish site doesn't take letters in the code.

Happy days.

fatasspigleaf · 06-10-2008 12:53pm

Just to put some minds at rest, mine was delivered this morning to where i live in dublin. Didnt have to ring about it but did get an email last week saying it was on it's way. Hope you guys get yours soon.

Got that mail too, call them, got thru first time and they answered all my questions and gave me the tracking number (in 3mins 02secs) which I had to figure out you had to enter it on the Netherlands DPD site as the Irish one said the number didn't exist as it had a letter in it.

Number is 00 31 206 811 388, they will answer in Dutch but immediately switch to English when you start to speak to them. Bedankt...

teck-x5 · 07-10-2008 12:13pm

I rang them this afternoon, they werent able to provide me with a tracking number, but said that it has been shipped and should be delivered in a few days. Sigh!

iwhelan · 07-10-2008 12:38pm

Bought this monitoir, decided to cancel - called and they refunded me. My monitior arrived yesterday. Hrrrrrrm.

Placebo · 07-10-2008 1:28pm

my tracking says its out to be delivered today - dublin

baronflyguy · 07-10-2008 1:32pm

Collected mine today from DPD. It actually arrived yesterday, got a note in the door from DPD saying there was no one at home when they arrived.

Cant wait to try it out later tonight when I get home.

Make sure you install the driver CD that comes with it, before you mess around with your graphics settings. Also- I found the default settings best for regular use- but upped the blue/white and contrast for gaming in the dark
