Just got that from the DHL website, my wii should be here tomorrow

[Crocski]

Crockski, I had one coming from my brother.That fell through. Ordered from Play Asia last night. Woke up, and it had shipped. I imagine you'll have yours by Saturday.

Nice one. Yeah, they're 8hrs ahead so hopefully it'll be shipped when I get up in the morning. How much you expecting to pay for customs? I'm thinking about ?40 tops (Just ordered the Wii + Zelda).

Moved to the 27th place in VG+ queue. I really hope that they will get more than 30 consoles in the next shipment.

My Zelda has finally shipped from VG+

[Strolls]

... So, from peeps who've already received from VG+, how long does arrival take?

About 2 days from past performance, unless you get stitched-up around a weekend.

I've also added a graph. Sorry.

Stroller.

USPS/ParcelForce are bloody USELESS. My package was sent on the 21st, and the tracking info STILL hasn't been updated since it left America. Why didn't they just throw into the sea and let the waves bring it here, it surely would have been quicker ft:

I'm in the exact same position as you. Another day with no change too.

Remember paying seventy for my N64 -so **** knows, really.

Mine shipped monday, it's in the uk now and should be here tomorrow morning.

You really are just killing time till you get your Wii aren't you?

Wii and Zelda and extra controllers all shipped from VG+. Excellent.

Hopefully here for Friday! Just need a component cable by then, is it possible?

[chopemon]

i'm still on the Wii Processing No Cancellations status

no mails or shipping confirmation

i guess that means it isn't shipping today

i don't understand why all of your's have shipped and not mine

kotatsu is after me in the list and his is marked as shipped. i'm getting fairly unhappy about this now. not unhappy with VG+ mind, they seem to be doing a stand up job on this, just unhappy i haven't got one

[dataDave]

So has anyone actually got any solid proof of Import Madness shipping out anything at all? Or is everybody still pissing against the wind?

I'm just obsessive AND compulsive.

Since the data is already in Excel it was actually pretty quick & easy to produce that - I spent far more time this evening going back through the 10 pages of posts made in the last 24 hours & updating all the queue positions I could find posted.

Oooooh! Now it's showing:

Is it possible your mail program or ISP could have filtered your emails? The email I got at 28 November 2006 18:23:46 GMT was marked as "To: undisclosed recipients" and had basically no body text, just a dodgy-looking Word .doc attachment. I wouldn't have opened it if I'd been using a Windows PC.

kotatsu is after me in the list and his is marked as shipped.

Is his confirmed as shipping? I've still got him blue-grey coloured, meaning "tentative" (I was using a question-mark before I added the graph). Black shipping dates now pretty much mean "showing in DHL's tracking system", rather than "some random change to an update status on a website". Please don't take my list as gospel!

I'm sure yours is on the way, mate - either that or more Zeldas are expected in the next couple of days.

Stroller.

I cant actually believe how **** Import Madness treats its customers, no emails saying whats going on, no mention of it on the site, having to browse internet forums with other customers to try to find out wtf is going on with an order I have made with a shop, having to phone about 40times before I get an answer, and then am fobbed off with a response that now appears to have been absolute lies, they can GTFO, seriously, wtf. I think they are quite possibly my worst internet shopping experience ever, and I dont actually shop anywhere but the internet
