Lol.. Just took out the package that should have been animal crossing from amazon. Turned out to be something extremely weird, was a heavy book instead. In Swedish. And used. I wonder if some asshole at the Swedish postal office decided to be funny. Hmm.. I wonder if I will get a new copy before the weekend.

And your name and address was on it? What did the receipt inside say: AC or the weird Swedish book?
 
Yazan said:
Yes my name was obviously on it. Same with the receipt.. Said Animal Crossing and weight 0,14 (the book is way heavier than that).

That your name was on it, is not so obvious. I get mail here on occassions for other people, on this address (which is just a normal house in a regular street in a small town). People who have never lived her, mind you. I even get tax invoices of a plumbing company on this address. And I know where the company is located (like 0.5km from here) and they were never based in this street. :-)

Anyway, was the package opened and then glued together again or something? It's all really dodgy. :-)

Yeah.. Will post pic later, was not the typical amazon way if packaging.
 
EDIT: Seems to have gone back up in price to over £200, not even 30minutes after I posted this lol.

Wii U basic is £156 at Scan (excluding delivery) here.
£167 inc. delivery. You get free delivery if you've been an AVForums member for at least 14 days. May be good to sign up to these forums for future deals from Scan though.

Info about free delivery here.

Usually when I would preorder a game on Amazon UK (which most of the time is released on a Friday), it would dispatch Thursday night and be delivered on Saturday by PostNL here in Holland.

But my latest order of The Last of Us was dispatched on Thursday night (Super Saver shipping) but only delivered the next Tuesday. First order handled by Royal Mail judging from my order history.

Seems it takes a day longer to get here now but we'll see when my next order dispatches. Too bad, Saturday was always a nice day to receive stuff.

What do we do to get the free delivery. Just says I need to be a member, how do I get that attached to my Scan account?
 
No decent deals 3DS (either normal or XL)? Need to get my kids off my 3ds so I can play animal crossing (plus would be nice to play multiplayer with them)

£140 seems the best I can find (standard XL at amazon or standard at GAME with £40 off voucher),with e amazon e having a free copy of NSMB2 which I don't need but could sell for £10-15?
 
Just ordered a 3DS XL (from norwegian retailer elkjoop for 888 Kroners, awesome deal for any norwegians here), and I need some games. What are some great games for it, and where can I get them for cheap? I'm thinking stuff like the two Mario-games, Kid Icarus, Luigis Mansion, Layton, Cave Story 3D, Star Fox and probably a ton of other stuff I have forgotten. Any great 3DS games that can be had for less than £20?

Isn't it also sometimes the machines in the postal offices rip open a whole load of packages and staff try to put thing back together.

That could be a possibility even if unlikely considering the size difference. Nevertheless, spoke to amazon and they will ship me a copy that I should have by Friday.

By Friday? From UK to Sweden? Or do you live in the UK? If they're sending it till Friday from UK to Sweden then they must have given you some express delivery.

Not always. Today they sent me a package by MRW and it was FREE Super Saver Delivery.

However in the last couple of weeks most packages were sent by Royal Mail and it took almost 2 weeks to arrive.
