My DHL delivery has been "With delivery courier" since 8:46 today. I guess that means mine is still coming tomorrow as well.

New Nintendo 3DS AUS/NZ Launch |OT| Featuring Thieving European Importers
- Thread starter Rich!
- Start date
maybe, but even so - a brand new New Nintendo 3DS XL is £130, and together with shipping to the UK is £170. There's no arguing that we are getting ripped off here in the UK on hardware

Still nothing from dhl oh well back to mario kart 8 online for more races
you'll get it soon
even if it doesn't turn up until tomorrow, that's still only day 4 in the 3-6 working day estimate we were given. And considering it's come here from the other side of the world, it's fine so far.

90 euros? Ouch. Did you order more than just the 3DS?
I just rang to see if I could change the name on my order (for some reason it's 'NA'), and the automated phone tracking said it would be delivered today. We'll see.

Ah, right.
I added it up today I think all in my non-XL one has cost me £190 all in. I think if I had added it all up and had to pay at once rather than paying for the unit, then the extra postage and then the customs, I might not have bothered. Good job I didn't!

I suppose it has to be asked, for importers what do you do if the device develops a fault?
Never hand any problems with nintendo devices. I hope this will stay in the future
Otherwise I can send the goods back to Play-Asia. Its a longer way, but should work fine, like other companys.
edit:
Or direct to Nintendo Australia? Maybe NoE could also handle that.

Setting up the 3ds xl do I put ireland as my home ?
Yes.
Then DO NOT SET UP OR LOG IN WITH A NNID. Go straight into the system menu and do the transfer.
They randomly sent you one? I'll take it if it's still available. They never send me any, and I've spent $1000+ there.

The region information set on this system has been changed please connect to the e-shop and try again if nintendo E shop is available in your region you will not be able to perform a transfer when I go to e-shop it says are you ok with Australia as my region ? Help ?
I have no idea. Others in this thread have set it to ireland and transferred over fine.
Photos would be useful.
Didn't the other guy in Ireland have to set it and connect to UK first, then he could change the region to Ireland for some strange reason?

It's working now thank god I had to log into shop but skiped nnid log in
Nope. He assumed that at first.
He was actually able to set it to ireland and transfer it fine after going into the eshop.
Edit: lol, see? Its all fine.

DHL tried to deliver my New 3DS today already, but of course I didn't know as I haven't received a tracking number from Mighty Ape yet and wasn't home. They'll deliver it to my workplace tomorrow afternoon instead.

It arrived!
What time did it turn up?
Just wondering how long I will potentially have to stay at the parents' cafe for tomorrow. They close at 5, so I can only really stay behind until 6ish.
should have just had it sent to my home address. didn't realize I'd be off this week, gahhhh

Arrived at 5:04. I think they deliver until 6pm.
Ah right cool
Thinking about it, they have me down as a business address. Because of that, it will likely be a lot earlier.

My Playasia order says "Packstatus" - makes no sense, but it's probably the same status as yours, only a bad translation
Hopefully means will ship today and may have it Thursday.
Two day delivery from hong kong?! I don't know where you life, but I don't think so (or did you choose express delivery or something?)
Every single order I've ever got from Play Asia to the UK via fedex has taken no more than three days.
Last was a Wii U Pro Controller. Ordered on a Monday, was at my door on that Thursday.
London. Charging stand shipped Thursday and arrived Monday which is two working days.
Wow - thats sounds great. Hope the german customs won't fuck that up. Would be awesome to get my n3DS to the weekend.
All the orders I've gotten sent over from Hong Kong have been nice an quick. (I live in Reading)
Worst ever delivery has been a DHL parcel that got here, then was shipped to Germany for "Security Checks" for almost 2 weeks. It was a couple of t-shirts.
If Play-Asia do manage to get it here by Friday, then the 28th will be my own personal Christmas.
EDIT: HO HO HO, I GUESS! Thanks for the heads up, Atouba! =D

Shipped here too, but Fedex Economy. No idea how quick that's supposed to be. I am not expecting it to be delivered until next week (I live on one of the UK offshore Islands). Tempted to repurchase Mario 3D Land if the 3D effect is as much-improved as reported. Only have a digital copy on another 3DS from a different region.
Damn trade-in value of my current 3DS XL has gone down in the last couple of days already
