Hi Priya, thanks for getting in touch, and I am sorry the blender you ordered arrived with a cracked lid. I checked order 7340 and I can see it was delivered on Tuesday afternoon. I have sent a new lid by express post today, and it should reach you by Friday. You do not need to return the broken one. I have also refunded the delivery cost of 9 dollars and 95 cents to your card, which can take three to five working days to appear. If the new lid does not fit, or if anything else is wrong with the blender, reply to this message and I will sort it out straight away. Until then, the blender is safe to use without the lid for dry ingredients, but please keep it covered for anything hot or liquid. You also asked about the travel cup that goes with this model. It is back in stock in white and grey, and I can add one to your next order with free delivery if you like. Just tell me which colour you prefer. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you have a lovely rest of your week. Kind regards, Jamie from the customer care team.

How it's scored
- Words per minute
- One word is five characters, spaces and punctuation included. Only correct characters count, so speed and accuracy go together.
York University text entry note (opens in a new tab), text entry speed
- Accuracy
- The share of the characters you typed that match the passage.
- What employers ask for
- Each employer sets its own pass mark; there's no single standard for BPO or remote jobs. US government clerk-typist jobs ask for 40 words per minute on a 5-minute sample with three or fewer errors.
