Man, you guys are the best!!!!!!!!! Yesterday ( I offered one guy on here £220 + Delivery and lucky for me he did not accept.
Now I have a confirmation from Woolies that it will be shipped within 24hours!!!!!!!!
I have my name at 3 stores locally and if I get any response soon I will put them up here at cost + shipping!!!

I got my order confirmation email just now. Status is now Awaiting Security Check.
Webmon worked a treat, glad I could help others. I've been getting more and more disappointed when wandering the high streets at weekends :lol:
Edit: Thinking about it, I could offer people my webmon file so they wouldn;t have to setup it all themselves (for when the woolies stock runs out!)
Not able to put it anywhere for hosting while at work though.

exactly same for me
set the interval to a minute, limit the search phrase to the particular stock phrase on the page (although you dont have to it avoids rolling adverts giving you a false alarm) and bingo. First day using webmon and bagged me a Wii :lol:
Get it here

Is there a mac equivalent for the webmon thing?

I am having trouble logging onto the Woolworths website to find my order details. I cannot see anything on the site and the link to my account takes me to the homepage on both IE6 and FireFox2.
edit-Doh I am thick, I have seen it now, it is right at the top lol...
Salty
23-01-2007, 02:26 PM
Barney,
for the mac you could try this
http://www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/subscriber
You get a 30 day free trial so should be long enough to get what you want before paying up.
Can't vouch for it as I use Windows but looks like something similar

Thanks Salty, that looks spot on :-)

[I found it yesterday and have an order in today. Brilliant!]
The same for me, within two days of joining this site and keeping an eye on posts I have an order in for my Wii...
Delivery date is set for 25th, so fingers crossed :D [/quote]
Argh, my friend just had their order cancelled as there wasn't enough stock. You'd have thought in this day and age a major retailer would be able to link stock to their website instead of having to use this ridiculous system where the order's passed on to their supplier. Didn't have these issues with gameplay...

I too ordered my wii from woolworths at 3 o clock yesterday, and have had my order put on back order. Surely they should only take enough orders for goods in stock? Anyway my orders in, and will be fulfilled before the next lot appear on woolies website, so i hope it won't be too long. They appear to be getting stock twice a week

Mine's on back order too. Woolworth Punks!

Its in stock in Woolworths again now!

24-01-2007, 10:45 AM
showing as in stock, so there must be stock for yesterdays order? i've justed ordered one :D
edit: expected delivery date feb 21st? Argh!
kevhardwick

So any ideas why woolies decided to sell some yesterday? Seems a bit strange for em to sell something not physically in stock, unless they have been let down by their supplier. I have requested from them that our wii's are dispatched before any more appear for sale on their website.
Otherwise - its clobberin time!
Branflake

Our wii is still showing delivery as tomorrow (thrsuday 25th Jan) and was ordered yesterday as soon as we saw the forum post.
Still hoping that its correct or it will be :cry:
Heapy
24-01-2007, 11:48 AM
Hmm,
my order is showing as back order or pre-release but delivery date is still Thurs 25th...
Wait and see I guess!
kevhardwick
24-01-2007, 11:51 AM
Don't hold yer breath - my delivery too says 25th, but after liasing with customer services this morning they have none and don't know when they will get some. Strange, as they had ordering on again at 11.30 this morning.
False advertising springs to mind over yesterdays lot, it seems those ordered today are not being delivered before mid feb, so can't have a go about that. But people who ordered yesterday, myself included, have every right to feel aggreived. :x

I seem to be in the same boat as the rest of you WoolWorths ordering people. Not a happy bunny at all now GRR .

I agree, especially since they estimated that orders would be dispatched within 24 hours.
If I have to wait until late February, I'd rather take my chances (and my business) elsewhere. I will give them a couple of days to sort things out then will cancel my order if not dispatched. You'd think they would try harder considering their worrying sales figures?

I'll be doing the same. I have posted a message to them to see if they can actually fulfil my order when they say they can.

Got a reply from someone:
This item is currently on 'Back Order' which means we do not have any stock at the moment. Unfortunately, we do not have an expected date of arrival for this item. Once we do receive it at our suppliers, we will despatch it straight away. We cannot guarantee a date of delivery at the moment. Please accept our apologies on this matter.
Think I will cancel then! :evil:
kevhardwick
24-01-2007, 02:34 PM
Heapy, I cancelled mine as i have a firm guaranteed delivery from comet.
see the comet thread for details.
As soon as i cancelled my woolies order, they are back in stock!!!!!!???
so all those ordered yesterday were probably other orders that had been cancelled
Heapy
24-01-2007, 02:38 PM
I'm not sure what is going on really as Comet and Woolworths are part of the same group. Wonder if Woolworths got told they could have some stock but it's gone to comet instead.
Anyway, didn't fancy the comet package :( I'll keep looking as i'm sure my woolies one won't turn up tomorrow!
mcwill
24-01-2007, 05:39 PM
Ditto - Wii Hoo :D
is that from when they had them is stock today or yesterday?

Me too ordered at 14:40... Hope this isn't a mistake of forget to NOT bill the customer as they are now not getting the product.
Heapy
24-01-2007, 06:28 PM
hehe maybe I was a little hasty in cancelling my order but I'll have mine on Saturday so no big deal :lol:
Branflake
24-01-2007, 06:30 PM
Same here, ours will be with us Friday now from Comet.
kevhardwick
24-01-2007, 07:40 PM
ok, ok maybe i was too hasty in cancelling my woolies wii, but i've got one coming from comet anyway.
What really hacks me off tho, is i've had multiple email from woolies telling me they have no idea when stocks are due, then only a few hours later they're dispatching them. What a crappy way to run a business. If they'd have said 2-3 days, that would have been great - i'd have been happy with that. Its all the "we don't know" stuff that gets me mad.
JUST TELL US LIKE IT IS.
We pay our money, we only deserve a decent service.
Rant over. :twisted:

Just got a dispatched email from woolies.
Hopefully here tomorrow.
