Hi Guys,

I'm from over Rllmuk, but I'm also in the ImportMadness pool of fun.

No news on my unit shipping, even though IM told me on the phone last week that I'd have it by Friday (Last Friday that is).
I ordered on the 14th November

Order: 68203 (Wii + Zelda) Pending.

Ah, the ImportMadness fun parade transcends forum boundaries

I think a "Whuuuuuuh?" is deserved.

[Lazlow]

of topic but is every dvdboxoffice 'agent' on their live chat named chris or something?!

[Lyris]

"Chris" is probably the code name for "Customer Harassment Repremandal Intelligence System", the type of mainframe computer that returns delayed, realistic replies of "It's been shipped" or "Warehouse accident" depending on the question posed.

Wii has landed



Right, I'm off to hook it up and play

[chopemon]

i hate you so very, very much

[Dezm0nd]

congrats mayhem

[Synthesthesia]

Yeah, i'm wondering how mine's shipped and your systems haven't. Have you's tried phoning and asking derrick about it?

[Dezm0nd]

Not yet, very tempted to but i'm sure i'd get a vague answer and then my item status will get changed to shipped.

no point if someone else has already done it.

Yeah, just changed mine to pending there. Can't get on the site as of 5pm or so though... Oh and I ordered on the 24th October.

[Yorda's Saviour]

I'll call when I get home from work. It likely means one of two things, Synth:

i) They've been too busy packing and dispatching orders to send out emails or changing status alerts on the website, meaning that the majority will have a pleasant surprise within a couple of days.

ii) They've still not received many units from Nintendo and are telling people who call a number of times that their orders have shipped (but that they may get held up at customs) in order to buy themselves a few days, hoping that the units really will have arrived with them by the time we contact them again.

I don't want to think too hard about which is the more realistic of the two.

Who wants to call, make a fuss, and then see if theirs mysteriously becomes "SHIPPED" as well?
