I can't order on Littlewoods. Keeps giving me some error. Now won't let me delete/edit my address. :mad:

Had a similar problem. Must have gone through it a dozen times before it accepted my order Hopefully will have a hd+ coming soon though

coffee to go

Ordered mine from Littlewoods at 11pm on Wednesday night. It's just gone from 'Order Processing' to 'Processed', with the tracking blurb now reading 'Order being processed at warehouse'. Not dispatched yet though. Not Parcel Motel'd, ordered it direct to home address.

I was told on the phone by Customer Service that 'credit checking' for first time customers is what causes the delay on the 'Order Processing' bit. So people who have ordered from Littlewoods before may be getting a speedier turnaround...

for real!?? well done but

mine still says being processed in warehouse after 2 days

yeah feels bad but good, people waiting a week and mines shipped after 2 hours. maybe because I had an account and ordered from them before

Do you have a debit card? Littlewoods accept payment via debit card, if they still have any in stock that is.

Nook.UK took the money out.. I only have €35.40 left on the card.

So i can't order from anywhere until i get the money back.

Its fairly common for companies to put a pre-authorisation on your CC (temporary hold of the funds) and then take the funds when they ship the item. In the event the order is cancelled, it can take several days to remove the pre-authorisation.

Ordered from Blackwells yesterday at 7:00 pm for shipment to parcelmotel . Order marked 'processing' estimated ship date today......strangely hopeful !

I ordered a Nook from Nook directly, was told that they were checking my card for a few days, then recieved an email telling me that they had fixed the problem with the system and I that I should go back and replace my order- which I did not do. I have now just received the following email.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your purchase. We want to provide an update on your order. You should expect to receive your NOOK® Simple Touch within the next 4-5 business days. We will email you parcel tracking information when your NOOK has shipped.

Thank you,

Yep, I got the same even though I had sent them an e-mail two days ago, cancelling it.
I have ordered one from ASDA so I'll just let them both sit and if I get two I'll put one up here for cost.

No, they'll only do that when it has shipped and I'm not confident that will ever happen.

Ordered from Littlewoods Tuesday, still not dispatched. I must have done something to upset them

biebiebie

Anyone know, do Littlewoods dispatch from the warehouse at the weekend?

pissed

Ah finally got my offer from Flubit.... £25.84 delivered to parcel motel ... which I accepted

Wally Runs

I ordered one from Nook, got cancelled by Nook over the credit card issue. Then ordered I from Littlewoods, only to find when I double checked my order on-line, that it had not been completed, so I ordered again. I then find that both orders to littlewoods have gone through. Hmm two Nooks, I think! Well at that price I can find a use for them. In the meantime Nook email me to say that they have completed my order, I have three Nooks!

Two I can use, three is going a bit too far, so I ring littlewoods to cancel one. They cancel it, but imply I may get it anyway and I just have to refuse it at the door?

So back to two Nooks, one from Nook and one from Littlewoods you would think. This morning an email from Nook to say that I have indeed not bought a Nook from them! It was all just a terrible mistake! So now one Nook!

The shocking thing is, I always wanted an e-reader, but I could not justify it, as to me it seemed a 'nice to have' rather than a 'must have'. So when the offer came along, one thinks 'yeah, why not give it a punt' however, now that they say you cannot have one, I really must have it!

Makes no sense to me, am I falling prey to some marketing persons scheme or just suffering an unexpected outcome from incompetence! Maybe I should get on to my TD, what is the Government going to do about this! Ah well, an education all the same.

Wally - One Nook (maybe!)

Got a further e-mail from Nook last night apologising for telling me my order was due to ship and that it is now out of stock.
Is that place run by bankers? Nobody else could make so many cock ups and expect to survive.

pelemcg

When my initial order with Nook wasn't processed I rang the credit card company. They said Nook had applied for payment using the wrong card authorisation date. I re-ordered, double checking the date. They did it again. I too got the e-mail saying the order wasn't being fulfilled...then one yesterday saying it was....then one last night saying it wasn't...now this morning the Nook Newletter...oh dear

Wally Runs

Can anybody comment of the book purchasing service? Is this a taste of things to come?

iPhone.

This crowd have them in stock, never used them myself so can't comment on that side of things, they appear to be similar to Littlewoods, ie online catalogue purchases with option to buy or spread payments etc..

Might be useful for someone who wants to give it a try. They charge for delivery so it costs something like 32.95 Sterling, plus I would imagine you would have to use parcel motel also.

Very is run by the same company as Littlewoods, so best off to order from the Irish site with the 10% off discount. There is no messing about with parcel motel or Belfast postcodes then.

Ordered two from littlewoods, and both are dispatched. Only used the voucher code on one of them though:(

tracert

Ordered from Nook directly and they charged my card straight away,

after the following string of emails: "order accepted", "please contact us" "order confirmed, to be dispatched soon" "nook out of stock", I emailed customer service on Thursday to ask what the story was, as my card has been charged and got this professional reply today:

Dear tracert,

Thank you for contacting NOOK International about your NOOK order. I can completely understand if that also happened to me I will also feel the same way, where it's kind a really confusing.I have checked your account, this is regarding to your NOOK order. Fo further information please contact Sales Audit Group: See details below:

All I asked was if he could give me the status of the order, I didn't complain at all so if it's a copy and paste email from them it's a very bizarre one. I have extra money in my account today but no access to online banking so I can only imagine it's a refund.

Same happened to me (They took the money out.). I know it's normal when accpeting an order, but they never even accepted mine, and left me short so that i couldn't buy it elsewhere. I emailed them, but got no reply. Not yet anyway.. Money still gone from my account. :mad:

  Delivery Date: By 10/05/2013

• Parcel: 1 of 1

Ordered on the 30th and still processing. It's infuriating when they've dispatched loads of them to people who ordered as late as Thursday. I'm going to see if I can get it on Flubit because I've given up on littlewoods.

Just accepted my Flubit offer and cancelled littlewoods. I guess it might turn out that flubit don't actually have stock of this either, but fingers crossed.

I created the request yesterday evening, even though it was out of stock at johnlewis by then. My flubit offer was £28.10.

Flubit accepted my Blackwell link and gave me an offer of £25.84.

What you would have paid at blackwell.co.uk :
£29.00+ £0.00 = £29.00
