| 732299 | 2008-12-25 01:51:00 | Since most bricks-and-mortar retailers are not allowed to open on stat holidays such as Xmas day, what is the story with online shops? Are they allowed to open? | somebody (208) | ||
| 732300 | 2008-12-25 01:57:00 | They're always open. It's just that no one will process the payment or deliver any items. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

Problem is the couriers are always ridiculously busy during this period every year. I waited for 4 working days for a couple of parcels that are supposed to arrive overnight or 2 days at the latest. And I'm still waiting for my Antec 1200 case from Taranaki which was given to the couriers Friday last week. I'm probably gonna have to wait till Monday at the earliest now. |

I waited 9 days on a mobile when it usually takes 4-5 days from Hong kong This is what happened Father sent mobile last monday from Hong Kong to auckland.It was delivered this tuesday. Father sent Nokia 5800 from hong kong to New Plymouth last tuesday.Delivered in new plymouth on saturday Bit puzzled here.Since when is new plymouth closer for delivery? |

I don't think it is a good idea.I like to see things crystal clear not muddy so compressing them would make it a bit hard for the eyes. I don't think you can compress media because converting a 4.7GB dvd into 4 episodes of 145MB is already compressed |
