Current turn-around time for UK books?

I've ordered a couple of books in the past which have usually printed within 2-3 days of uploading them.
I ordered 2 large soft-cover books last Monday but they still seem to be printing, despite it saying 3-4 days on the estimate. I realise that it's only a single working day beyond the estimate but with the typical 7-10 day postal turnaround and coming from Germany with the Christmas post, every day is making me more nervous of whether it will arrive pre-Christmas or whether I need to go out and purchase an emergency IOU gift!
Anyone in the UK (or Europe) ordered a book in the last couple of weeks and seen it ship or arrive yet?

I've sent feedback to Apple suggesting that they give some idea of last order dates for Christmas for the iPhoto books in 2006.
Photobox.uk, Boots etc all had dates in early December for their book printing services hence why I hurried to do mine by 6 December.
But when the turnaround time says 3-4 days, there were probably orders going in over this weekend with little chance of them arriving; people don't go and read the help section which comments on the postage time.
I'd also like to see an option for express delivery as they have in the US. The postage for UK books is already pricey (particularly for multiple hardcovers) and not particularly fast but I still wouldn't mind paying an additional fee to guarantee it arriving within 2 days of shipment rather than the usual 7-10. Unless of course, this new '1 day'/'4 day' shipping is the new norm!
Good luck with your books arriving Chris.

  • What is the usual turn around time for MacBook Pro repairs?

    I took my Early 2011 MacBook Pro in for service at an Apple Store last Saturday (10/12) and they decided to send it to the repair depot, so I paid the repair costs and gave them my MacBook. I was told that it would be shipped out that night, over-nighted, repaired, then shipped back to me. They said it's usually a 3-5 day turnaround.
    I've been checking my repair status frequently for any updates, but "Shipment to repair center pending" has been the only thing it's shown since Saturday (I do understand that shipping estimates can be delayed). Yesterday (Mon.) I called the store to ask why this was showing and to get an update. They told me that shipping services don't run on the weekends or Columbus day, so the computer should probably reach repair by Tuesday. First, this isn't accurate unless it's specific to the Apple Store because all shipping services besides USPS run on weekends AND Columbus Day isn't a recognized holiday. Second, Tuesday has passed and I'm still only seeing "Shipment to repair center pending".
    This is pretty frustrating. I'm already behind on work and school work because of this (which is fine because I expected the 3-5 days), but I can't afford to be in this situation much longer than that.
    What I'm wondering is, what is the usual repair time that others have experienced? When should I start to investigate this more and who do I contact? I'm worried that the store will keep giving me the same response.

    I made a super simple tool for tracking repairs done by Apple/Genius bar so users can get text message updates on their order status.

  • Turn Around Time to convert a Prospect into a Customer

    Hi All,
    We have implemented Oracle Teleservice module. We have a client request to develop a report which gives them the Turn Around Time for converting a prospect to a customer. For eg: A prospect called up at the call center inquiring abt the various products, he is logged into the system as a Prospect. Later in the week, the customer buys the product and TCA API uploads the customer information into the system with an account number and the product details. Is there anyway, that I can track the total time between these two events? We dont have Sales implemented.
    Any help on this would highly be appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Amit

    I guess you can get this turnaround based on audit fields available in prospect master table and account master table
    To be specific:
    - When a prospect is created in the system, a records gets created in HZ_PARTIES table. Prospect is also known as 'Party' in TCA.
    - Normally an account is created for a party and account is created in the table HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS
    you can join these two tables based
    so
    HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS.creation_date - hz_parties.creation_date
    where HZ_CUST_ACCOUNTS.party_id = hz_parties.party_id
    should give u this time

  • Turn around time

    We are ordering a book for one of my daughter's teachers, and we need it back before May 19. What do you think is the latest date I can order by and still get it in-time?

    There are two book centers in the US....one on the East coast and one in Elk Grove, CA (outside Sacramento).
    SInce I am near SF, my books come from Elk Grove. I created my most recent book (27 pages) on the night of 4/28, placed the order around 3am 4/29. It was shipped on May 1, Standard shipping, and I received it yesterday, May 5th.
    It was my first order in iPhoto 08.....too busy making movies/DVDs The book is great, and the photos on the cover are great also, not too dark, as some have reported. It was of my husband's recent birthday dinner and he loved it!
    I can't speak to how long it takes for the East coast, but I am very happy with the turn-around times here.

  • RMA Turn-Around Times?

    Anybody have an idea how long MSI's turn-around for bad motherboards is?  They have had my P7N in the "In Processing" status ("Your RMA has been received and is now in replacement, testing, or repair process.") for nine days now.  Based on the problems I had, I'm assuming this should be a no-brainer replacement. I can only guess that it's sitting on a shelf somewhere awaiting initial checkout to verify the defects.
    So again, what's the average turn-around (assuming replacement and not repair)? ???

    It will vary depending on your location, In the USA its not very long I think, europe now has a centralized repair center which used to be in NL but is now in Poland so in europe it depends how long it takes the regional office to forward the RMA to the service center.  For fastest turn around it is recommended to return the product through the channel so dealer/distributor etc.

  • CASE function in determining turn around time

    I am working with a customer that submits work for processing that must be accomplished on very short turnaround. There is a submission date in one table and in a joined table there is an accomplishment date. I can use the CASE calculation with a simple "like" condition to compare submission dates with accomplishment dates to answer "yes" or "no" if they match or do not match. How can I report a turnaround time of 2 days or 3 days, where the accomplishment date is 2 or 3 days after the submission date. Can I use a variation of the CASE calculation to derive a "yes" or "no" answer to these variations?

  • Delivery time for photo book

    Hi, I want to order a photobook for a special occasion and can't find out how long it will take from order to delivery? Anyone know? I live in the Uk and want the book before mid Feb.
    Ta.

    Hi, I bought my imac in December and have ordered about ten books so far. Delivery is very quick. They seem to arrive within a week or ten days. Much quicker than Photobox, and I'm really impressed by the quality.
    However, don't leave ordering til the last minute, just in case you need to make an amendment and get it re-printed!
    And it's worth printing off a pdf proof so you can check and re-check for typos.

  • Nano Repair Turn-around time

    I was just wondering if anyone had any recent experience with how long it is taking to get a repaired/replaced Nano (i.e. how long after your support ticket has gone to "Replacement Ordered / Order Created" to when it actually ships and is received).
    It's true you never fully appreciate your iPod until it is gone and you have that hole in your soul that just isn't replaced by the car stereo . . . . .

    Bruce,
    It should take about a week, unless it is engraved, which could make it take 2-3 weeks.

  • SAPScript Logo Turned Around

    HI!!
    My problem is with the images in my SAPScript, When I see them in screen they have the correct position, but when I print them they leave turned around.
    For example, we imagine that the "A" is the correct position of the image. But when I print it I see it turned around  "V".  
    What can I do?
    Thanks, regards.

    Hi,
    Ask your desktop folks to update 'driver' software to the printer in which it's printing upside down. We have had this issue, it vabnished once we updated printer drivers (latest available version from the manufacturer).
    Hope this helps.
