I pre-ordered my Wii from PC World, got an e-mail Thursday morning saying your order is being processed, await a third e-mail confirming dispatch. Later that day got an e-mail saying we are sorry blah blah blah your not getting a Wii tomorrow. Great. Then to rub it in this morning I got Red Steel which I ordered from choices UK, its been on my desk taunting me all day lol. Also PC World said they have dispatched my extra nun-chuck, so in a couple of days ill have not only a game, but a nun-chuck as well, woooo... they have a asured me though i will recive a Wii before chirstmas so im happy lol.
THEY SAID THE SAME THING TO ME!!!

turns out some motherfucker called chloe cancelled my order because my mother and i dont share the same name. how odd.

 

STUPID ****!! So i have to call back tomorrow to speak to a supervisor.

 

NEVER USE PCWORLD!!

 

Well I was fairly happy with PCWorld. Received my Wii and 3 extra nunchucks. Just waiting for Wii Play and 2 extra controllers.

 

ChoicesUK, however, failed to delivered Monkey Ball and I'm still waiting. Mind you, I don't mind waiting as I only paid £29 for it :D

Well, I've had the worst experience ever.

 

Ordered with Amazon, and dispatched Thursday evening. I don't have my Wii even now.

 

I was told at various points over the weekend that I would be getting it, but I was told today that it has been lost. I have had Zelda since Friday, but no Wii to play it on. With the current stock shortages, I won't even be able to get one until the new year.

 

Thanks a lot, Parcelforce, you've ruined my Christmas. :cry:

I have had the exact same problem, except mine came from Gameplay and it was apparently stolen by some Parcelforce employee - it didn't even make it onto the van on Thursday night. A call to Gameplay revealed that they actually had 5 others stolen, too.. out of thousands of preorders. What are the odds, eh?

 

Gameplay are apparently sending me a Wii from their latest batch which are supposed to be coming in sometime this week, so it may be worth having a go at Amazon for something similar. If this next one is stolen i'm actually going to drive to the Parcelforce depot and crack some skulls.

I'm still waiting for Zelda from HMV but for £28 it's worth the couple of days wait. I wish my extra remote was coming sooner though.

 

Did you get that Zelda from HMV? because Im still waiting for mine. I phoned them up and asked when the Zelda shipment is due and they told me shortlt, however they had no specifics and said if I didn't have it by the 15th it would be best to buy elsewhere.:weep:

 

anyone had any luck with HMV online?:hmm:

Well I tried with Amazon, but they wouldn't let me do that because they don't know when they're getting stock in.

 

I "preordered" (pfft!) a Wii today with Gameplay, so if by magic (it is Xmas afterall...) they have some stock left I might get one from there. Otherwise, I'll just keep an eye on Amazon.
