Same here, goodbye 2004 and hello 2005. We've offered a VERY expensive 'Before Christmas' delivery price this week, and 70% of people have paid for it.

You want it, we got it, then pay. Earlier price mattered and we got hit as the cowboys took the business, but over the last few days we've taken on good business previously we wouldn't have by making people aware that if they want something delivered in the last week they have to pay.

Sure, things have flattened out, but it seems to me for fast delivery people have been prepared to pay well over the high street price.
