What is wrong with that?

You might as well buy it from a more reputable seller, especially seeing as it's a lot cheaper anyway.

i've just placed an order there with Littlewoods but won't be getting my hopes up of actually receiving it.

Has anyone on here who placed an order with Littlewoods received theirs yet?

I got mine today - ordered on 2nd May.

We had issues getting ours to start, had a panic thinking it was faulty and I'd never get another one but it was some driver issue on my husband's laptop and it worked fine on mine and then we got it sorted. The ereader itself looks quite nice, I have an expensive Sony one and it seems the same in most ways. Hubby is thrilled, thanks again OP - wouldn't have known about it without this thread!

Mine is one it's way to Tuam from their midlands hub and then on to me. Should be here today or tomorrow, hurrah!

Every panicking over their littlewoods orders, if it says dispatched, it's been dispatched, and it will arrive.

Mine arrvied a few minutes ago, it's now charging via my standard micro usb (android phone etc) charger.

Just arrived in the door. Tempted to order another two. The ones I got are earmarked for birthday presents but mys sons have said they would like one too. What are the chances of subsequent orders being honoured I wonder?

Currys/pcworld have 16gb cards for about 14 euros.

Received mine from Nook store yesterday. It ships with Firmware 1.2.0 so you'll need to update it to 1.2.1.

..............then root the crap out of it and shove the Kindle store on there.

FINALLY left Middleton! Go on the Midlands depot!

Oh yes, on it's way as of three hours ago from littlewoods. No sign of movement from the flubit order.

MuffinsDa

got mine last night (parcel motel).

First impression and unboxing:

- Very nice packaging, Apple has certainly made everyone up their standards
- The unit needs to be charged for at least three hours before being used. Apple has certainly not made everyone up their standards in this regards! I like it when products can be used straight away.
- The screen is nice. I haven't compared it side by side with a Kindle as I don't have one but the text resolution looks low-ish and fonts jaggedy-edged. It maybe the firmware, I'll report back after update. Or maybe I'm expecting too much.
- UI is OK. Usable but nothing to write home about.

What was your original despatch estimate - really odd
Mine was processed in the warehouse on the 2nd but still hasn't been despatached.

Don't think I'll be using that littlewoods shower ever again after this!

Mine was dispatched 2 hours after I ordered it on the third.

Well all In all I'm happy with Littlewoods, I received my product in 5 working days and 4 days before their estimated delivery date of May 13th, I don't know what people are complaining about, nobodies has been late yet, relax the cacks.

Yeah, it is fun to slag off Littlewoods and their weird shipping updates but fairs fair, I got mine in four or five working days and shipping was free. Very happy for €36. They would be better off not telling people about 'incorrect depots' because it just winds people up :pac:

Anybody who got in to the deal very late will be waiting longer but that's to be expected.

@toby2111
I used a 4GB card and it worked fine but I think 2GB is big enough, really depends what you want to use the card for afterwards

podge3

Looks like I am going to have 2 Nooks now as Littlewoods have shipped mine also.

Before I put it on Adverts, anyone want it for €40?

tomjohn01

Hi Podge 3
I would love it if it is still available, pm me

Has anyone tried to order a nook from Very.com. I know they are owned by littlewoods but I have gotten a very good offer from Flubbit

Good for you but mine are still processing in Littlewood's warehouse 9 days after I ordered them. That's what I'm complaining about... plenty of ppl seem to have ordered theirs after mine and are recieveing them.

I sent Littlewoods a message today and got the following reply:

Thank you for your email about your order for the Nook Readers.

I'm sorry this is taking longer to arrive than expected.

While every effort is made to deliver parcels as soon as possible, occasionally delays can occur.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this delay may have caused you. If you still haven't received your parcel by 17.05.13 please let me know so I can look into it further.

Thank you for your patience in this matter. I hope that despite any disappointment felt on this occasion you will continue to enjoy shopping with us in the future.

I'm in same boat and keep getting same email from them, it's pretty frustrating when ppl that order after get their stuff and yours is still stuck

Well I've spent hundreds with em and they shipped mine after 2 hours, I like how it is :pac:

If you ordered yours before those people who got theirs in 5 days, but yours is still showing as 'processed' and the delivery date is being pushed back daily, you'd be very unhappy with them too. Sure, it's nice to be one of those who benefits from their completely random system of fulfilling orders, not so nice to be on the other end of it though.

Just a heads up,i got mine fairly fast through calling them up rather than e-mailing.

Moyglish

Placed my order with Littlewoods last night, unfortunately it's currently showing the 9th of June as the delivery date.

Looks like this is why they're on special offer. They're going to be Microsoft product shortly.

Microsoft is poised to offer $1bn for e-book publisher Nook Media, which was spun out from bookshop biz Barnes and Noble, it is believed.
