Zepto delivery times once shipped?

Does anyone here know how long it takes a laptop to get to the UK once it has been shipped by Zepto? My laptop apparently shipped on Monday and as far as i know items usually ship to any location in western Europe (barring certain remoter areas like the Highlands of Scotland) within 4 days. It still isn't here yet and i have a funny feeling that im not going to see it until well into next week (especially since its Friday the 13th today). Could anyone who has purchased from Zepto in Western Europe (preferably the UK) tell me how long it took them to recieve their laptop once the laptop was shipped? Hopefully it wont be something like 10 days, as a £35 delivery charge for a 10 day delivery service to western europe would seem like really bad value for money

 

I am not sure if it is the same for the UK but for Germany the laptops first get posted from HQ in Denmark to Zepto Germany in one or more big package. From there they get seperated into individual smaller packages and send out. This adds a delay of about one day, sometimes 2.

 

I live in the uk, it says on the uk site 11 days. GST shipping and "payment" add about £200 to the price. Seems way over the top to me.

 

Delivery is normally by TNT air, and takes 2-3 days, it gets x-rayed too.
but ask Zepto UK (Ian) tel number is at the top of the uk site.

 

On the order confirmation I got it said it would be shipped the 11th, 5 days after I ordered I think. But it was HERE on the 11th, superb work Zepto!

This was a 6324w.

 

GST is a tax (similar to VAT here in the UK). Not much you can do about that (unless you happen to be part of a company that can claim exemption ^^).
The payment is a bit harsh, however. Not many companies forward their payment overheads to the customer so obviously (most hide it in their product's price). Just something to deal with. All companies work differently.

 

Yeah, but zepto aren't THAT cheap to begin with, im only even considering them because they have a sale on. Theyre usually very expensive.

 

I actually find them very priceworthy, with or without the current sale. But maybe prices between manufacturers vary much from country to country.

 

Well which country do you live in?

 

Mine was despatched on a Wednesday and arrived late on the Friday I believe. It was very quick and they provided me with a TNT tracking number so I could see where it was. It's a shame you haven't got yours yet; did they not give you a tracking number?

[Edit: I live in the UK]

 

sweden...... (had to add dots or too short reply)

 

I agree with Frippo. The 6224w is definately the cheapest computer with similar specs you can get in Sweden, for example, a similarily specced dell 1520 would be ~$300 more. Without the online rebate they are running at the moment, they'd still be cheaper.

Not to mention no other manufacturers sell 14,1'' notebooks with 8600M GT GPUs yet.

Their budget offerings aren't the cheapest though, but still competitively priced.

 

Add to that that Dell is often considered a bit of a budget bang for the buck option with mediocre build quality. (unless you go for xps but they arent in this price range). And you are forced to get OS and loads of bloatware. Acer maybe can compete as well when it comes to price, but I'd take a Zepto over an Acer any day. Other than these, maybe there are some other compal or rizeon lappies but I've never seen any on sale in Sweden.

 

I ordered my 6625WD 2.7. and it hasn't shipped yet. How long u have waited before shipping. When I ordered, they had every part in their storage.

Thanks for the comments. Ive found out that my laptop apparently died in testing the day it was meant to ship, this is why it did not arrive. I have cancelled the order though as while what happened is totally understandable, i cannot understand why they can't inform you if such a problem arises. I had to go out my way to ensure someone was in to pick it up and if i had been informed of the problem by a simple email i would have been saved all the trouble.

Anyway i still think Zepto are ok and i have made an order for some accesories.

 

I ordered a 3415 on 25.6. via the Finnish Zepto site. I made sure all the parts were available before ordering. While I did get a confirmation e-mail it didn't say any est. arrival date, price nor my configuration.

So this is the fourth week I'm waiting, it better come soon. I tried e-mailing Zepto (Rj) but got no response, probably got lost among all the other thousands of e-mails.

I heard there has been complications with Zepto delievering laptops to Finland lately, maybe that's the main reason for the delay but they really could inform me about it. :/ bah.

 

ordered my 6224 on 31/May, changed some components twice on 14/Jun and 21/Jun. Now still waiting for it. Hopefully can receive it within this week, otherwise I will loose my patient

 

Wich countries do you guyes live in?

 

Yes, it would be great if there was a bit more contact from zepto. My laptop was picked up last week and delivered to the UK on Friday. There seems to be no information whatsoever on what I should do next. Will it just turn up? How long does it take? I have a tracking number from dsdftransport, but again this didnt make much sense. I hear people talking about TNT. Which one should i be tracking? If it arrived in the UK last friday, how long should I expect to wait? Yes, there is the "£35" delivery charge. You would expect a bit more information and less hassle for that. Should I just be waiting??? I have a couple of emails which havent been replied to and I cant find any info on the Zepto page.

Hopefully I am just being a complete moron here. It's been known to happen.

 

I'm in UK. May be go with Acer 5920 if cannot receive it within this week

 

Apologies to any customers who havent recieved a mail from IB as I had a short break and a software error, so will be starting to go through them today...sorry if your questions have already been answered by other means

 

It is estimated that 12-cell battery for 6224w should be shipped in September. I ordered it in may, so it is only 3-4 months..

 

My 6024W was despatched from Zepto on Monday afternoon and was delivered to me on Tuesday afternoon so 24 hours +/- a few minutes. Perhaps I was lucky since I live within a couple of hours of London.

While the shipments are handled by dfs in Denmark, the tracking number is for TNT, who will deliver in UK. In my case there was no activity in the on-line tracking system between the package leaving Copenhagen and arriving at the nearest TNT depot to my house.

I ordered a 622w last week and in the confirmation e-mail i got from zepto it said that the computer was supposed to be shipped yesterday. My question is do i get a notice mail from zepto when they've shipped the computer with a tracking number and so on..

note: I live in sweden

 

I'm not sure actually.. I called zepto today since my order was passed by 2 days.
They say it's been shipped today, but I haven't gotten a mail or anything
It should however arrive tomorrow (I live in Denmark, so no wonder)

 

I'm not sure if they automatically give out tracking numbers.

Chase the sales people (they will be going home shortly).

I send mine out when I revieve them, Im not sure about other countries...
