US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[MarioMark]

selix any update mine is now out for delivery after no update on the site for days

No mate, same crap, Still stuck in Chicago. This is the third day now without any tracking update and the 5th day it's been in the post getting thrown about.

[phorenzik]

bet it still works when it gets to you though Selix.

Well. I emailed the guy who I bought the Wii from, No reply so far. Does anyone think I will be able to get my money back through Paypal? it says in the dispute console that you can only dispute something that was not correctly described/advertised. The advert WAS correctly described as a Wii, so I may have no claim. Although, it was advertised as NEW, so you would assume that something new would work, right? Anyone on here think I have any chance at all of a refund? Thanks

Yeah, from what I've heard, PayPal almost always side with the buyer.

AndrewFee from this forum I believe had trouble when some scammer bought a fully working PSP from him then claimed it was broken - PayPal sided with the buyer even though there was no evidence.

My Wii is in Glasgow "Out for delivery" but I live in Aberdeen... Seems a bit odd.

[QUOTE=phorenzik]well I am the buyer, so would they should side with me.
Bet I get screwed over again.....somewhere there has to be light at the end of the tunnel. Has anyone inspected their Wii games? I was looking at my Zelda, and nowhere on the case or the disc does it state that is is NTSC. All I have found is a messege saying for Canada and US only. Am I being hopeful that the games could be region free? Even though Nintendo denied it? We'll have to wait and see until PAL units arrive. I'm gonna sell my USA Zelda for ?60 I know it's a bit steep, but I paid a fortune for it, and have to recoup my losses. If anyone is interested let me know, I'll do free shipping. Otherwise I'll put it on Ebay.

It was the same with the GameCube - no mention of the video standard.

do we know what queue number VG+ have shipped up to by any chance?

I believe this list to be up to date.

i'm number 11 and was wondering how far off i am

I can't imagine Nintendo shipping less than 10 Wiis at a time, so surely you're in the next shipment.

Obviously, I'm hoping they ship at least 16 (or realistically, 20) Wiis at a time, although there's a discrepancy in the quoted queue positions between orders 46933 & 46969 (I'm guessing due to a cancelled order we don't know about), so I might just squeeze in if the next shipment is of 15.

The big question is when VG+ will be getting their second shipment - I'm kinda on tenterhooks about that. Sydney said in his "Wii Preorder Queue Update" email that "we are expected to receive our next shipment of systems between Tuesday and Friday" - I'm gonna email him now & see if there's any update.

Stroller.

There is I cancelled, and could have kicked myself!

Just picked up my Wii from the Parcel force depot in Oxford.

Anyone waiting for Parcel Force (meaning non courier, USPS postage) should either go get their Wii's or pay the Customs charges over the phone as soon as it arrives. Parcel Force will seemingly just send you a letter to say that it's arrived and that they'll deliver it once you've paid.

Now to finish unpacking it and pray that it works

COME ON!!!

cheers stroller

i'm worried that my machine is sitting there and they aren't shipping it as they haven't got a zelda

thanks for being the one to mail them, i worry about hassling them

looking forward to hearing what they say

Cheers for the info mate. If it ever get's in the country then that's what I'll do. You've just saved me another day or 2 on waiting for it!

If you fetch your Wii's from parcelforce is that just the normal royal mail sorting office?

[chitotoro]

My wii left US 22/11/06 at 12.37 and parcel force are still showing "left origin country". I just spoke to parcel force (after being on hold for 20 mins) and was told that my wii entered the UK on the 23rd but has not booked into customs yet. Also no Saturday delivery, So it looks like monday is the day....C'mon. C'mon! For the love of God, how much longer?!
