Does the Nintendo UK Store take payment via PayPal now or on release?

Release well rather a few days before but deffo not at point of sale.

 

[Baloonatic]

Did everyone get the free Fire Emblem Echoes stickers with their Nintendo UK order?

Yeah, not sure where it came from. Must be a promotion going on I guess.

They sometimes give away some left over stock from previous premotions.

I know I've gotten badges, pin, stickers, magnets from Nintendo UK which where pre order bonuses for other games. Like the Mario 30th anniversary badge/pin.

You have to have a UK account to order on the UK shop ?

 

[Shiggy]

Looks like demand in Germany and the UK isn't nearly as strong as in France.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Nice! Managed to get one from Nintendo UK shipped to me in the US through a forwarding service.

it's a UK only Nintendo shop. It's run by theHut group so unfortunately you can't order it from else where.

Ok thanks.
Another day, another disappointment :/

Don't they cancel those orders once they notice that it's going to be sent to such a service? Others said so when they tried ordering the SNES Mini.

 

[Phillips455]

Well you can always use a forwarding service.i just don't know of any since I'm in the UK already.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

No idea, but it's worth a shot.

 

[Dunnymeister]

It's not exactly obvious that they're forwarding services. There's no company name, just an PO Box number which identifies the customer in the shipping services' system.

They don't ship to PO Box numbers though.

We are sorry to inform you that we have been unable to despatch your order. The reason for this is as per our delivery policy, we are unable to deliver orders to any mail forwarding, freight forwarding or PO Box addresses.

They did that for the SNES mini, at least. They may have just been extra strict on those.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Nintendo regularly ship to a parcel forwarding service for me.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

BOOYAH

Signed up to MyUKMailbox this morning. Hopefully this all works out!

I used Borderlinx, hopefully at least one of them works out for us!

 

[Eolz]

Got one from Nintendo UK, will cancel my coolshop one and keep my Game one for now then

Which one do you use?

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Same. But had already cancelled mine with them.

 

[Prisoner]

metroid amiibo is out of stock

 

[Chopper]

Amiibos have gone.

 

[Eolz]

Amiibos are still on Game I think.
Those aren't limited at least, they should make another run later.

 

[Prisoner]

Anyone reason I should switch my GAME Legacy Edition preorder to a Nintendo UK one, being that the prices are the same?

 

[jelmerjt]

Legacy Edition sold out too.

EDIT: Or not hmm.

 

[purseowner]

You can almost guarantee Nintendo will secure you a copy.

You can almost guarantee GAME will make it a last minute lottery.

Since GAME had it up for half a day, they may not have enough stock to fulfil all orders.

 

[scamander]

it's a UK only Nintendo shop. It's run by theHut group so unfortunately you can't order it from else where.

You can place orders on zavvi and theHut from anywhere, though. So it got nothing to do with them, the Nintendo UK shop doesn't export. That's probably on Nintendo.

 

[sleazefrenzy]

Likewise here. Not quite confident enough to rely on Nintendo as my only preorder.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Parcelmotel.

[Pancakes R Us]

Too late. Sold out.

 

[Magicpaint]

Yeah, sold out now.

 

[ToonLink]

Up for an hour. Seems like they had more stock for these than the new Zelda and Smash amiibos at least, lol.

 

[Deja]

I may be able to hook one lucky UK Gaffer up with a spare of the game and amiibos if necessary.

Have them ordered from both Game and NUK, so providing the Game one comes in too, I could help someone.

 

[Prisoner]

Yeah but they're £2 cheaper on the Nintendo site.

Thanks I preordered from Nintendo.

Too late. Sold out.

 

[sleazefrenzy]

Well it's been emotional. See you guys in 6 months when they announce the Prime 4 Samus cat helmet edition. Blood will spill.

 

[CorrisD]

Has this gone up on Amazon UK at all or are we not expecting it to at this point?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Dang it. I really wanted the steelbook!

Weird how the Halo 3 Master Chief helmet rotted on shelves but a hypothetical Samus cat helmet would incite riots. I guess it's all about supply and demand.

 

[ToonLink]

Well, I got £5 off my LE thanks to some credit Nintendo UK gave me after failing to send me an amiibo I pre ordered (first and hopefully last time that happens). Unless I have any issues, I'll definitely be sticking with them. Time to cancel that over priced Amazon.de order.

Thanks a bunch to everyone who kept us all updated. ^^

I'm 99% sure someone has already PM'd you about this but if my order gets cancelled I'd be happy to pay you more than retail, plus shipping of course.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I have 2 pre orders now so I could also hook a gaffer up with a pre order! Game only though no amiibo.

Not yet! Not interested in making money, just wanna hook somebody up if I can. Though the amiibos are more expensive from Game, because Game.

Game haven't fucked up recently, have they? I don't order from there much but they got me all 3 latest Link amiibo and I was a bit slow on those.

Not recently,they rarely mess up smaller releases any way . I alwyas get LE's and CE's on time.

Nintendo store is run by Zavvi/The Hut group who I've never had an order go wrong with but they have the same stigma attached.

 

[Eolz]

Not gone up, but I might not expect it at this point.
Reminds me of some recent Nintendo CEs exclusive to Game and the Nintendo UK store only.

 

[slit]

Looks like demand in Germany and the UK isn't nearly as strong as in France.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe France has always been more friendly territory to Nintendo than the UK and Germany.

 

[Chopper]

My order at Nintendo UK is processing, but I haven't received a confirmation email. Hmmm...

 

[AlexFlame116]

Do you mean like SE game only or you take out all the contents and jist leave the game and case in the SE?
