I have contacted Amazon regarding this subject. Here's the reply I got:

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer this item, as we're
currently out of stock of "Nintendo Wiis" and we are not able to

Please note that our supply of popular items is sometimes limited and
some products sell out quickly. We are very sorry that you were not

checking our website from time to time to see if this item has come

it is not necessary for you to create a new account, as your e-mail

Has anyone else actually got tracking info for their Wii? Mine is still just showing when it left the depot - will it stay this way until my Wii arrives? Also, do you think if I e-mailed amazon.co.uk about the order they'd be able to answer my questions?

jkerr
14-01-2007, 03:23 PM
I think it may not have tracking info because we aren't in Germany. The UK website probably couldnt help, but maybe emailing the german one in english will be replied to in english.

I ordered my wii from the German Amazon on the 10th and amazon.de just says that it arrived at Leipzig on the 11th. I have tried to track the package on DHL.de and .co.uk and the code doesnt seem to work. So i guess that i am having the sam problems as everyone else! I guess it will probably just turn up one day.

AJAG
14-01-2007, 08:59 PM
I don't think they were really sent by DHL. If you go to the German DHL site, it also says Deutsche Post (German Post). I believe the consoles were sent by normal German post therefore there is no tracking for them except for when they left the warehouse. I am also wiating for them.

AJAG

Deutsche Post is also a reputable courier service though, I believe.

Yeah they are very quick and reliable. My guess is that the consoles are already in the UK.

I think they just sent them by normal mail, therefore that number they gave us in not really for tracking the number online but just a number they get when they ship stuff just for reference.

I ordered mine Thursday (I think). It was dispatched Friday, and I've just received it this morning.

That's not bad going for saying it's coming from Germany, anybody else who had one dispatched Friday should probably get theres today too :)

AJAG
15-01-2007, 09:49 AM
I think I will just get home from work, take the card they probably left there for me and drive to their depot really quick and get it today itself. I think they are open until late. Hopefully their depot is close by but I doubt it.

mikejburrett
15-01-2007, 09:54 AM
So people - how are these German Wiis?
I was hoping that Amazon UK would have another batch in this morning, but apparently not. Might now consider Amazon.de. Are they UK type and is the only difference the plug? - how are people overcoming this?

AJAG
15-01-2007, 09:56 AM
how are people overcoming this? Using a Continental Europe to UK adaptor.

Everything else is completely the same.

Buckii
15-01-2007, 09:57 AM
The machine is identical, the plug being the only difference.

Adapters are about a quid in Maplins or somewhere like that, or you can just chop the plug off and whack a UK one on there. Simple as that, they're actually cheaper from Amazon.de aswell.

:D

15-01-2007, 09:58 AM

15-01-2007, 10:39 AM
I ordered one from Amazon.de, and it still has not arrived. I ordered it last Wednesday night. I hate the fact of not knowing where it is and if someone has robbed it on me. I'm from Liverpool, so I guess it may take a little longer, but still it worries me. Ideally it would be great if someone should inform us of delivery times and other such info. Oh, well, i'll give it a couple of more days, and then there will be hell to pay! :twisted:

To all who got their wiis congratulations!

angelus_1794
15-01-2007, 11:00 AM
I wouldn't overly worry about it - it's amazon and even though its the german version, they are still a highly respected company. If you go to amazon.de and click on "mein konto", and then "Los" next to the drop down box it should give you your order, and an expected delivery date.

E
15-01-2007, 11:06 AM
I guess, but that doesn't mean the couriers are always professional. I've heard many a story were people have had their sigs forged and other such stuff as that. These days you cannot trust anyone lol.

Ordered my Wii on the 10th, and it was dispatched on the 11th. Hasn't arrived yet, but with any luck it will come tomorrow. Forgot to pick up a plug adaptor from work at the weekend though so I'm kind of hoping it turns up tomorrow when I'm in all day. Can anyone confirm that a regular shaver adaptor plug (like this? http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=adaptor&ModuleNo=1186&doy=15m1) works with a Wii, I'm just worried about the 1amp rating on those plugs?

Ta

huzzellio
15-01-2007, 12:04 PM
1 amp probably isn't big enough and those plugs take a smaller fuse than a standard plug. Chopping the 2 pin plug off and fitting a standard uk plug is another option but you'll probably invalidate the warranty if you do. Your best bet is to get a Euro travel plug which has a beefier fuse in it than a standard shaver plug.

thebawp
15-01-2007, 12:10 PM
Cheers, I'll play it safe and get a proper adaptor for now, costs a bit more but whatever. At some point I might ask one of my mates to do the plug for me, I'm rubbish at that type of thing. Getting excited! ^^

Actually, anyone who has got a German Wii - what plug would do it? This type: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=22928&doy=15m1?

Thanks.

E
15-01-2007, 12:14 PM
I bought a visitor to UK plug at the weekend, wich has a 13 amp fuse, so i'm hoping that is enough for it. It says it works with Germany, Asia and America so it should be all good. It cost £5.99 from Argos so I think it's worth it. :)

angelus_1794
15-01-2007, 12:49 PM
I'm running mine on a standard shaver adaptor and it seems to be working fine so far. If the fuse blows i'll bite the bullet and buy a proper adaptor but i'm probably going to go for the "swapping to a 3 pin plug" option in the long run.

E
15-01-2007, 12:59 PM
I'm not sure what i'll do, I have a feeling that if I change to a normal plug, i'll bite the dust in the process, wich isn't something that i'm keen on.

angelus_1794
15-01-2007, 01:05 PM
If that does happen it'll most likely be the power supply thats gone, and im sure you'll be able to pick a new one up on ebay rather than saying goodbye to your beloved wii :(

E
15-01-2007, 01:09 PM
Come to think of it, I really don't mind it staying the way it is, I think a 13 amp adaptor should be more than enough. Especially if a shaver plug adaptor works, it'll be fine lol.

Cool, can't wait to gear their reply, did you mention that our country is always the last to recieve everything.And when it comes to stock and demand, we never meet the demands? Also did you put that when instead of helping people out if people have extra wiis, we instead go and place extortionate prices against our fellow man? I can only laugh at our own countries economy and how much respect we have for each other lol These are the reasons why we are forced to go and buy from other countries lol They should feel obligated to replace the power supplies for us, it's the least they can do.

been into town for adapter, couldn't find one. everywhere has one for converting british plugs to european but not vive versa. i asked the ****** in comet if the £2 shaving adapter would work and he said "no, the voltage is too low" and i should buy the £16 universal adapter which is bloody huge. i bought neither just gonna stick a 3 pin plug on it when i get home.

Nope, it didn't show. The Amazon status still has it as on its way, so at least I know it's not been signed for by anyone else. I'm off work tomorrow, so hopefully it'll show, if it doesn't then I'll be a little annoyed.

To anyone who got theirs delivered, what time did your leave Leipzig? Mine left just before 5pm so I wonder if that's an indicator. Is there anyone else who ordered on the 10th whose Wii hasn't arrived yet?

jkerr
15-01-2007, 08:57 PM
I think i know what it may be. If you order before a certain time of the day, it gets dispatched on the same day. Maybe because we ordered past this time we will get it a day later (since it was dispatched a day later)

thebawp
15-01-2007, 09:05 PM
I just realised i quoted the wrong bit :lol:


Thought you might have done XD If you log on to amazon.de and go to 'mein konto' and log in it should say somewhere about the dispatch info, towards the bottom of the page. Or at least, it does on my account. X)

I actually ordered on the 10th around 5pm, and received an e-mail the following morning at 9ish saying the item had been dispatched. Shortly afterwards got a call from my credit card company to verify the payment which I promptly did. Then when I checked my amazon.de account later that day, that info was on there.

I just want it to arrive so I know it's safe. I've read too many instances of people's Wii's being signed for with forged signatures/wii's left on doorsteps or under rubbish etc. It doesn't help that my flat is in a slightly weird location and my neighbour might get mistaken for my address.

It's good to know at least I'm not the only one who ordered a Wii that hasn't arrived yet. X)

Any way ... still waiting.

Got mine all up and running now, had to nip out to get an adaptor though as my boyfriend forgot yesterday. Just using a shaver adaptor, which seems to be working a treat.

I don't think all credit card companies do confirm, mine was just seen as slightly suspicious because I was purchasing from another country. Barclays actually blocked my debit card without notifying me once when I bought a number of items off ebay on the same day.

To all those still waiting, I really hope they arrive today for you.

I requested an update earlier today from Amazon.de - even though I have received mine this afternoon, I thought I would pass on the contents of the e-mail they sent back to me:

According to our carrier, the delivery to United Kingdom may take
up to 22 business days. Once the package reaches your country, the
actual delivery of the package is handled by your local postal
carrier, and this may account for the delay.

While the estimated time for the delivery has passed, we'd like to
ask that you wait just a few more days as, in our experience, in
most cases, these packages are delayed in transit. We'd hate to
inconvenience you by sending you a replacement only to have you mail
it back should both packages arrive.

Very Happy Mac-Man.

It should be the same as the UK one. They feature a few languages.

Wii sports has German on the box, but you can put the game itself into english and theres no difference to the UK version!

I think I'm gonna complain to amazon.de about this. No way of tracking the damn thing (tried calling up DHL, but the useless s**ts said they can't help me if I don't have a tracking number) and confirmation of hordes of people getting theirs on monday/tuesday, even though they ordered at the same time/later than I did!!

german amazon employee: "hmm got an email here from someone asking where their wii is."

colleague: " is it late?"

german amazon employee: "no, delivery estiamte is until the 22nd"

colleague: "tell em to f*ck off then"

jkerr

Yea, so they are going to get them to everyone on the 16th, but decide to leave out a few people until the 22nd. Very logical :roll:

Was that really necessary?

For me, the issue is really that we're kept in the dark, not knowing whether it was shipped or any idea where it is....I don't mind if it gets delivered tomorrow or Friday, just that I'd like to know that its on its way.

I just asked where it was, and to help with providing a tracking number for DHL.

They haven't responded so far...they usually say they'll get back within 24hrs or so...

Just got sent this:-

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting Amazon.de.

Your order was dispatched on January 11th, 2007. For delivery we
normally estimate 7-21 working days.

According to DHL your delivery is certainly on its way. I would
therefore ask for a little patience.

Unfortunately, the only tracking number we have received from DHL is
0*********

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us.

I'll be back onto DHL to get an answer!

I have no idea were to use the tracking number. The DHL site has about 500000 ways of tracking

How many digits is the tracking number? The one I got from amazon was pretty useless - try entering it on the left hand side of the page here: http://www.dhl.co.uk/publish/gb/en.high.html

i bought a guitar from germany just before xmas and was delivered by DHL. the tracking number i got didnt work in that first box so i went to more "more tracking options" and just entered the number into all of them. it worked.

just to let you know, mine got delivered a couple of days ago, and thanks to my very honest neighbours i got it. DHL had left it on someone elses door step in the pooring rain.
So I suggest you might want to check around a bit!!

didn't they drop a card through your door?

Leaving stuff on someone elses door step (without a signature, as it appears) is completely irresponsible. In fact, courier companies who do this should get everything coming to them - even if that means someone receiving the parcel anyway, and then filing a claim that they didn't get it (because no one signed).

Still waiting for mine!

acb

no card thru door, and def no sig as the guy who used to live in the house they dropped it at died a couple of weeks ago.
I cant understand why they didnt leave it on my door step at least
And yes, I am very tempted to make a claim!!
