Get Great Last-Minute Gifts From OWC

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012 | Author: OWC Jarrod

As we recently outlined on our Blog, it’s not too late to order great gifts from OWC and get them under your Christmas tree by Monday, Dec. 24. In fact, 2nd day air delivery still makes the cut for orders placed as late as Thursday. And if you order an in-stock item by Friday or even early enough Saturday with overnight shipping, you still can get your order by Christmas Eve. As always, ordering earlier is still better to protect against unforeseen weather or carrier issues.

So now that you know how to get the perfect gift in time for Christmas, you just need to decide on what the perfect gift is! Luckily, OWC has a ton of options to make your last-minute shopping that much easier. Article Continues…

In the three years that I have been an OWC Customer Service Representative, I have seen many… unusual… situations. I’ve heard about things like dogs eating hard drives, ex-spouses holding packages hostage and people backing their cars over their computers in the driveway. Nothing really shocks me anymore.

I got a call the other day from a gentleman that lives in Michigan and he started the conversation by saying, “Are you sitting down? I have something shocking to tell you.”

When a conversation begins like this, you never really know what you’re going to get. Considering all I’ve heard, however, I was expecting a good story, but likely nothing I hadn’t heard before.

Then the customer said, “I received an order today… from 2009. The mailman just dropped it off.” Okay… that was something I hadn’t heard before and the customer was right—I was shocked by this!

Two years ago—almost to the date—we shipped his order… and it didn’t arrive. After he contacted us, we shipped him out a new order and marked this one off as being a casualty of the postal service. It’s unfortunate, but the occasional lost package is just part of the online shopping experience; it’s is also why we’re prepared to offer options for customers dealing with lost packages.

Two years later, the original package arrives at the customer’s door. Where had it been? What took it so long? I spent the rest of the day (between calls, of course) making up ridiculous back-stories on where this lonely little package has been and its journey to the customer.

The moral of the story is if you ever think that your shipment may be lost, it might be and OWC will be glad to work with you to get it resolved. On the other hand, it may just be running very, very late.

Delivering Excellence One Customer At A Time

OWC Late Ship: Keeps your essential business and home systems running with new Late Ship hours.

Did you know that OWC now offers later order fulfillment hours and three new guaranteed “Late Ship” service offerings to our customers?

Recently, through a partnership with UPS, OWC has now has the ability to fulfill UPS Ground and 2nd Day AIR service orders same-day as late as 10:30PM, CST.

We even have a guaranteed Next Day service available to many of our customers in the Midwest and East and West coasts. This is a critical service for those customers the just gotta have their gear by the next day, or even next morning! Order Late Ship Next Day Guaranteed, and OWC will quite literally run a courier out to the airport so your package can catch that last flight out. Now that’s service!

What does this mean for OWC customers? It means you can be assured that critical replacement Hard Drive, that just failed on you at 8PM in Los Angeles, will be delivered to you by the following morning. Or that gear you needed to upgrade your rig for that big project next month, that just got bumped to this month (!), can be in your hands that much sooner. Just a quick call or online order makes it happen.

Oops! On the way home after working late, dropped your MacBook, and now your Hard Drive is now clicking away like a tap dancer on a case of Red Bull? No problem… OWC will get you that new replacement drive by the next morning!

It also means that you can order and be assured of same day shipping from the comfort of home in the evenings, as late as 11:30PM on the East Coast, and even 8:30 on the West. That’s convenience that’s tough to beat.

Even tougher to beat is customer feedback on this program:

“I placed my order for a hard drive and a NewerTech drive adapter at about 9:30 PM Monday evening.  Guess what was already sitting on my doorstep at 5:00 PM Tuesday?  Wow!  How is that kind of service/shipping even possible?  And besides the fast shipping, the order is correct, packed very well, and the ordering process was smooth, with lots of very informative details that made choosing which drive to order much easier.  I would definitely would recommend Other World Computing to anyone.  Thanks OWC!”
