US Wii: Preorder Details Thread

[Dezm0nd]

hmmm we'll see. I can imagine their phones will be very busy monday night. If mines not out by monday night i'll cancel it

[retrend]

Yeh, I suspect thats what Ill do, I think with this whole bricking issue I would rather get a PAL one, but Im not too confident of getting one. Still think I might just take my chances on it

[Dezm0nd]

like you say though i'm hoping that they've shipped at least the first 25 out and just didn't get round to updating the website which wouldn't surprise me.

as nice as they are on the phone, they're a lazy bunch

WAIT A SEC!

DHL post on Saturdays?! *sits by the door*

[mintyfresh]

The DHL status on mine says "Address Information needed; contact DHL". I guess with the rush of things that VG+ may have messed up my address on the package

I will have to wait and see if it turns up next week...

3x bad address in the East Midlands, but sucessfully arrived in Bristol this morning.
A cause to worry?

Funnily enough, the 'bad address' part only appears on www.dhl.ca , not www.dhl.com

[JamesS]

I got three bad address notes on the .ca site too. Didn't seem to affect anything. Still got the system in two days.

My Parcelforce status just changed to:

24-11-2006 21:48 International Hub RELEASED WITH CHARGES

You lucky folks that already have their Wiis, How much were you charged for customs??

[Phantasmical]

Ken, how was your parcel sent, DHL? I was charged 40 btw

[Ken Evil]

USPS Express

40's not too bad, I can live with that.

[Dezm0nd]

I phoned them to cancel the copy of Zelda they had loads of but couldn't ship me four days after ordering it (even after my card was checked). Phoned and left a message twice and emailed that I wanted to cancel. Both times asking for confirmation and refund. Nothing yet - truly **** service
( I couldn't give a flying **** how many of them there are - if you can't handle the volume or even answer queries from your customers, maybe you shouldn't be doing it)
