Re: UK price hits £149
 

I ordered mine yesterday evening at 8.30pm and have had an e-mail from Play this morning to say it has been posted.

Re: UK price hits £149
 

I too have a tracking number that was obviously for some other item not for me and delivered in September! Way to go Play.com :(

Re: UK price hits £149
 

My tracking number is the same. Given that it is parcelforce, and past experience, I'd be more tempted to blame their tracking rather than play. Previously they only show an item as tracked about 2 days after it's been delivered, unlike most couriers where you can just about track the item in realtime through the deliver network.

Mind you at least Parcelfarce actually deliver reliably. I'd be really worried if my N800 was in the hands of citylink. they have never managed to deliver anything correctly first time for me. they once delivered a home cinema receiver to the same house number 3 streets away, and washed their hands of it. Myself and the supplier traced the item by deciphering the signature, and looking in the phone book for anybody with that name at the same house number. Citylink also once failed to deliver a parcel addressed c/o the A&E dept at the hospital where I work claiming that there was nobody in!

Good news!! My N800 arrived at exactly 1pm!! :D

Bad news!! Ive got to leave for work now, so there is no time to charge it and play about with it. Ive got to work till 11pm today, so this is going to be a long long shift. :(

Re: UK price hits £149
 

That's good news - that it arrive that is.... too bad that you'll have to wait so long to play with it! Where abouts in UK do you live, if you don't mind sharing. :)
Congrats on the N800. :)

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Just picked up my N800 for £145 from PCWorld, as they will Price Match Play.com and if the PCWorld price is more they will give you 110% of the difference off the price. I did check on the website and they said they have none, but phoned the Blackpool (3units, now less 1) and Preston (9 units) stores and they had them in stock.

Re: UK price hits £149
 

hmm..the 10% off code seems to have expired now.

I have found a code for a mere £5 off though. Not great. Anyone know of a better one?

If not, is there somewhere in the UK that I can order from for a price better than £145 delivered?

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Mine arrived today from Play.com, ordered on Sunday evening - delivered Tuesday AM, not bad.

Re: UK price hits £149
 

did it come with OS 2008 final as suspected?

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Thanks! I live in Paisley, just outside Glasgow.

Naw mate, it was OS 2007.

Re: UK price hits £149
 

That's interesting as I live in Oxfordshire, so somehow the parcel has made way to Glasgow before Oxfordshire.... :cool: :) Today should be my turn.. :) Expecting a total of 10 different deliveries today! :eek: Yay for online xmas shopping, poor postal workers tho'! :rolleyes:

Re: UK price hits £149
 

19-12-2007 06:22 Leicester Central Depot Parcel missorted

I live in Twickenham, not impressed :mad:

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Mine is recorded has having been delivered at 09:30 this morning, Tyneside. Unfortunately for me the wife has got her hands on it and passed it to some dodgy fat geezer with a white beard to hide until Monday! This feels worse than when I was waiting for Play to actually get them in stock!. Also I'll not get much of a chance to play with the thing on the 25th as I'll have to be busy taxiing relatives around, and being sociable!! ah well roll on boxing day!!!!

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Well it has finally arrived, infact I'm using it to post this very reply! On first impressions I get the feeling that it's going to take a little time to get used to, but so far so good, although I think I prefer the stylus from my trustee 770s :)

Re: UK price hits £149
 

they're £129.99 at play now!

Re: UK price hits £149
 

well isn't that just bloody typical. Merry christmas from Play!!!!!!

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Mine just arrived... box is a bit battered but seems intact. (I'm not opening it as I retained the order for a pal of mine.)


£129.99 - oh CRAP! Will they refund the difference..?!? :D

Re: UK price hits £149
 

Won't credit card companies refund the difference if an item is reduced within a set period of time? I have never tried to get a refund that way but I hear its possible?
