Wii-U - Amazon listing UK prices and launch date

Same for me. As I said early, I wouldn't be surprised if they've been posted insofar as they've left ShopTo, but won't be delivered to us by TNT until Friday.

Yep exactly this. I had an email saying it was sent today but I highly doubt it was, all they've done is boxed it up, along with all the others and will have them all picked up tomorrow for delivery on Friday.

My Sonic game was sent today though, as was Mario and Nintendoland....oh and the headset should be here soon >_<
 
Well, amazon.co.uk dispatched the Hori screen protector today. I'm hoping to pick up the system locally (NL) (if I can find one that is).

What happens when put the customer ref number in the TNT site?
 
This is the first time I'm not happy about receiving something early. LOL.

I'm not going to be in tomorrow. So getting it early is pointless for me.
 
Amazon are still saying:

Want to receive this the day it comes out?
Order it in the next 19 hours and 8 minutes, and choose One-Day Delivery at checkout. Learn more

Cutting it a bit close, aren't they?
 
Mine's dispatched, it's sitting in Hatfield at the moment, they estimate that it'll come tomorrow! It's coming from HDNL, they haven't screwed up anything for me yet, but I have heard the horror stories. Here's hoping they can get it right.
 
Kind of disappointed that my ShopTo order still hasn't been sent. I'm sure it'll come in time for launch day, but considering I put my order in about an hour after they put the console on sale, I thought I'd have been higher up the queue than this. I wanted to play it tomorrow :(

Lucky you. I can't see anything on my tracking for HDNL.

Fucking great sign, NOT.
 
Mine's been dispatched from amazon, arriving later on today, awesome.

And SMBWU from shopto will arrive today also, happy days.

If you tweet them then they will chase it up... I did last week for an item and they not only chased up that item, but automatically followed up on my other incoming deliveries and updated me as to expected delivery times. Really good considering their reputation.

Their twitter is @YodelOnline
 
mine not dispatched yet.

was all excited then opened up email and it was confirmation that the Wii u Gamepad screen protector been sent. lol

better go tomorrow or wont be happy.
 
Nothing from ShopTo today, order still says "Processing". (They took my money a few days ago)
Not good, considering everyone else seems to have packing numbers now..
 
Who else is still waiting for Amazon expedited Wii Us to be disptached?

Also, found the answer to my own NBA 2K13 question - coming out January. Anyone buying?
 
Maybe they're just shipping by order date? Perhaps your order was placed before mine; I got my order in on september 18th.

They're definitely not doing it by order date. They never do.

I think they might use location as a factor, as in, how close your house is to the warehouse that will be dispatching your item.

I guess that's why some people who ordered just this month have already had theirs dispatched while others (like me) who ordered in September are still stuck on Not Yet Dispatched. Amazon probably figure so long as everyone gets it by Friday they've done the right thing. While the Internet will rage otherwise. :P
 
Mine's now in the depot just down the road from my house. I don't know whether this a good thing or a bad thing for the time of day that they'll show up tomorrow.
 
Preordered Deluxe on Sept 13th, checked out with first class delivery. Money has just been charged, status updated to 'dispatching soon'.

I never doubted Amazon, but still, it's good to know.
 
So it turns out HDNL is delivering my amazon order despiteme choosing first class postage. Now I'm worried since I've heard all kinds of horror stories about them not delivering parcels etc. hope I get lucky...
 
Woohoo sainsbury's Wii U via DPD, can't wait for tomorrow to bitch and moan about the slow update :)

Now to see if my £199 Wii U Basic with Sonic will be honoured from iwoot...
 
Only have 3x£15 eshop vouchers. Wonder if I should go and get another one (don't like using my debit card on eshop). Then if there is any left over I can grab a cheaper game too

I would.

My thinking is based on the fact NSMB2 and others are £40 on 3DS and a lot of retailers are charging £45 for Wii U games. I can't see Nintendo matching retailers.
 
Message from Amazon support:

"I'm sorry it wasn't dispatched on 28 November. But I see that it has entered the dispatch process now and will be dispatched very soon"

the good news:

Me: There are any issue with supplies?

Amazon: No issues, you'll receive an email soon letting you know that the item has dispatched.
 
Just got my dispatch and tracking Id from sainsburys no tracking info live yet.
Yep, same here. My email from Amazon was timed at 5:47, which means that Amazon must've been working round the clock to get these items out. Shame I wont get mine until tomorrow now, but still, I'm excited.

Wait, they're using HDNL? FUCK.
