anyone heard anything from IM on shipments?

[Ken Evil]

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?!

Have you just got a USPS tracking number?

I'm in the exact situation you are, I just called them and the unhelpful cow at parcel force reckons when it enters the UK, a new tracking number is generated??? She couldn't tell me how I'm supposed to get this number however.

That's new to me. I've heard 3 different responses from people who have called parcelforce now.

When I called them it sounded like they are used to saying the same crap over and over to different people.

lucky i'm busy all weekend... otherwise i would be pissed off about not having my wii by now
but if it's not here on monday, then i'll be pissed off

A new number is generated for within the UK. After it's generated, using your USPS tracking no. on the Parcelforce site will give you the new one.

Got through to Import Madness just now. The geezer at the other end (Derek I think?) said that they'd finally recieived the shipment last night, and orders are getting shipped out as we speak. As has already been posted, they're going to send them in big batches to the UK and pay the taxes on them then ship them out via Amtrak after that's sorted. For my order number 6831x they said it'll probably be shipped at some point on Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday of next week.

[Dezm0nd]

man thats a bit rubbish, monday tuesday wednesday? such a vague time. I think i might phone them up and see if my order 6812x is going out tonight

thanks for the information

edit : or do you mean amtrak will deliver to you mon-tue-weds?

[Synthesthesia]

GRR import madness suck for answering calls! I've been phoning for like 2 days now and just getting that annoying guy.

Did he mention how many wii's they got Willei?

[Dezm0nd]

I usually get no problems calling them, tried about 5 times today which raises my hope in them packing wiis

anyone else with any information?

[Synthesthesia]

I just really want to know- want one of these so bad. I've got super monkey ball sitting here which makes it worse lol.

Hopefully they've gotten the 50 they said they were, because i'm number 37!
