mine still at credit checking, but your post gives me hope!

anyone know how long it takes parcel motel to move stuff around? if it lands in NI tomorrow say (which it probably wont) would I get it in carlow on friday?

They say next business day, so if it arrives in their depot tomorrow then there's a good chance you'd have it Friday. They're run by Nightline who would be sending deliveries all over the island anyway and they seem to be pretty quick and reliable.

The only problem might be if they have a giant pile of Nooks to work their way through

My order with nook.com has gone from "Recieved" to "In progress", I was a little worried that the card wouldn't process because I could only put in a UK billing address, but it looks good so far.

no "problem with your order" email or anything.. bastards are making me paranoid now

Just got a dispatched email from littlewoods (ordered last night and got a confirmation email straight away). Happy days, €36 delivered seems a great price!

Ok without me doing any research here....where can I download/buy nook books from?
I've recently been using my tablet as a e-reader and the other half has been impressed as my bedside table is book free these days. She "hinted" she could be book free too if I brought her something similar.
I'm not shelling out if I can help it but 40bucks (punned there ) I think I can stretch too if its the same as a kindle or alike for purchases

Sleepy

Got it from nook.com and have just received the dispatched notice. Charge on my card came in at €34.55.

Anyone know the best place to get a cover for this? eBay keeps returning results for the nook 2, anyone know if they're compatible?

Sleepy

Nook was being pushed by Barnes and Noble so presumably you could purchase books on their website. I'm sure there'll be a "store" app on the nook itself too.

The "american cousins" are usually useful for finding mobi / epub files too.

Actually I will hold off till I get home....because if I purchase it now I will hear the confidence sapping comments again

"its not very big is it"

I think they're the same - I looked on eBay earlier and when you search for nook simple cover some of them say 2 and some don't and they look similar enough to me.

Littlewoods have the covers for 32EUR - eh, don't think I'll be paying that much for one!

Celly Smunt

A group buy on nook covers from china might be in order.

Ardennes1944

anyone who bought from blackwells using their irish address gotten anything else besides creit checking yet?

RedXIV

If it's the same size as a kindle you could get a decent cover in dealz or the €2 shop which have had these in before

Mine has "Order processed" since around 4:00.I did give them a call to see what was going on not getting a confirmation e-mail and things seem to have sped up since then.

Thanks OP

I tried to order from the nook uk site, but it would only accept a uk billing address for my o2 money card. Any way around this?

Those of you who have ordered from nook what did you put as billing address?

I was trying to ship thro pm.

Ardennes1944

if i could cancel blackwells now i nearly would

I just used the Parcelmotel address as the billing address as it didn't cause any problems. Address is rarely an issue for card authentication.

Certainly no problem with my Visa Debit card.

Me too. To top it off, i put in Irish address, so i mightn't even get it.
If it becomes available anywhere else, I'm grabbing it. Then will cancel Blackwells.

Is it sold out everywhere? (Just back from hard day, so haven't read over the thread, but glanced other forums earlier.)

Ardennes1944

still available in littlewoods. mine says processed now in one place and credit checking in another?
if you manage to cancel lemme know

bmaxi

Why would Blackwells need to be credit checking when you're paying with Paypal FFS?
I don't think they have the stock.

I'd say they got a lot more customers than they expected. Probably not able to deal with it all.
By far Blackwell seems to be the worst. I hope i get it. Not going to bother trying Littlewoods, i find them unreliable, I'd order get confirmed and then, an email saying "oops" after I cancelled the other one.

All Foyles seem to be processing without delay.

Littlewoods really is hit and miss people who order after me have their order shipped while I'm still waiting

donnacha

jaysus - only checking this now. another blackwells blackhole here - credit checking is the status. will phone them in the morning.

Here too. I ordered way before some people who've had theirs dispatched, mine still processing. I'll be pissed if I don't get one.

I put my CC billing address and BT11AA as the postcode. Sign up to the nook site first - it might work easier for you

I did that, and Parcel Motel as the shipping address. It kept saying error.
So i gave up.
I don't mind waiting for the Nook, the one thing that's annoying me most, is that Blackwell Books has a message on their site saying UK customers only, and i chose Ireland (From their drop down list) to ship to.

If they told me i wasn't getting it i'd be happy. I'm just worried that they're waiting to see what stock they have against their orders, and will then tell me I can't have one, and everyone else will be sold out... :pac::pac: I just read over that, very pessimistic..

Agh, just say "processing order" for God's sake.

donnacha

Just ordered my back-up to the blackwells order via littlewoods.

I don't expect it but needed some sort of back-up plan ...

Tinie

Just gonna buy it on littlewoods. €36 works out a few cence cheaper, and no hassle of getting card fee's for paying in pounds or messing about with parcel motel.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

if there's no change with blackwells by noon tomorrow I'll email them to cancel and then order on littlewoods

Propane Nightmare

I have been told Blackwell have more stock coming in on Friday, so the orders will just be a day or so late if they haven't been fulfilled with existing stock. Hence the long credit card pending thing.

Ordered 3, and the micro SDs to root them
