Orders placed Friday teatime with CRC, Wiggle and On One. I have just received the first parcel.

Sensational prize for anyone correctly predicting the correct order...

CRC, Wiggle, OnOne?

(Always found CRC to be rapid in my experience!)

An anecdote, in this context, is an account of a personal experience.
Presumably, in this example, to infer that the mail order service of one retailer is better than the others.

Data, would be to place a large number of orders with each retailer and record the average delivery time.

What have I won, and more importantly, how long will it take to arrive ?

Not really. To be honest, I'm amazed that anything has been shipped - let alone arrived. It was after office hours on Friday, so I figured they would be processed (at best) this morning.

To further complicate matters, the orders were for differing levels of complexity...this is just a bit of Monday morning fun.

(there is a really good prize though)

OK then, I'll go for CRC, On One, Wiggle as I think that's the only permutation not already taken.

No, hang on.
Wiggle, CRC, On-One has been done twice.
Can I have Wiggle, On One, CRC as well.
There's nothing in the rules about one entry per customer. ๐Ÿ˜›

I need clarification of the rules. Does the first Wiggle package to arrive count or does it not count until you have returned the incorrect item and received the correct one?

Is this the right place to mention that Superstar have been consistently the fastest online shop I've used, for ages? No?

On-one either first or last, depending on whether or not they had it in stock. CRC in the middle. And Wiggle never, because who shops at Wiggle these days?

CRC will be first, on-one and wiggle will arrive together the following day

Where are Tredz on this delivery timescale continuum?

Hah. For me, Tredz are- tell you it's in stock, never post it. Give you a refund. Then suddenly charge your card again in 3 months and send you the item.
