I ordered and received confirmation of said order (for a flyer) on the 11th.
I've heard nothing since. I don't do patience.
Should I start to panic yet?

No, don't panic. Things always slow down during the sales! I know it's hard but you'll just have to be patient! The next step will be when you get the dispatch email. CW don't do idle chit chat!

Wasn't there a 4 day Easter weekend holiday in the UK? This would slow down things a bit.

Shouldn't you be asking CWL this question?

Yes, Kip, 4 day Easter Weekend = Shutdown.

Rob, don't worry. I ordered a C60 pro 600 and a C8 flyer together 10th april.
First was shipped 12th april and it's just on arrival (in Italy), second was shipped today 19th april.
I think it's normal during Easter holidays and sales period. So... take patience. :wave:

It doesn't mean that an internet only retailer, with worldwide sales, shuts down over Easter. Conventional retailers have one of their busiest weekends of the year over the Easter period. You guys are always looking for excuses!

Well apparently it does Robin, as that is what CW did. Rather disruptive of them wouldn't you say? CW is not a conventional retailer. No excuses....just facts.

This world is becoming far too 'on demand' which leads to people working too long hours, too little time with families and too much aggression from over-demanding individuals who wouldn't themselves want to work the kind of hours, shifts or delivery schedules to ensure that everyone gets what then want in unrealistic periods of time.

If CW don't work weekends and choose not to force their employees to work Bank Holidays so be it, it's their choice of business models and probably keeps the costs down in avoiding unsociable hours payments. If you don't like it, buy something else from another supplier with guaranteed next day delivery if the time you get it matters more than what you are buying........ If not, suck it up & wait!

You guys need to be patient :thumbup:
CW were inundated with orders (c700) just on the 10th April alone :shock:
Not to mention the other orders that came in thereafter.
So they are going through them (in date/time order) slowly but surely :)

I ordered on the 10th and am expecting the order to be processed today or tomorrow.
