"Route HAT2049 Small sorter"

whatever that means.

The couldn't decide which house to put it in so they've asked the sorting hat

Celly Smunt

And this lovely e-mail



Maybe if my nook wasn't sitting in a basket in the middle of hertfordshire i'd be able to enjoy it,at this moment though you can stick your 10% up your hole.

Anybody have an update on littlewoods. I ordered on the 1st and it says being processed in warehouse since then! Nobody get any update over the weekend??

Me too even though they sent me an email this morning saying they hoped I was enjoying my new purchase. Well, I would be if it wasn't stuck in your bleedin' warehouse!!

Still, once I actually get it, I don't mind if it takes a while.

Littlewoods - muppets. Putting up BS incorrect depot messages - for what reason....? Probably don't have it in stock at all. According to them the item has now been dispatched twice to incorrect depot. Fcukwits. Doubtful that this will ever be received.

I'd imagine they'll keep us swinging until the latest delivery date and give us a "sorry but we have to cancel your order" e-mail.If they don't have them i wish they'd just bloody let us know rather than giving people the run about.

Mine is still saying processed but not dispatched from Littlewoods-ordered last Wednesday.

I'm guessing they won't have the stock and expecting it to be cancelled. Oh well.

paultf

Got an offer from Flubit from currys for £25.38 - free delivery to NI and I have a free credit on Parcel Motel.

Emailed Flubit for guarantee of delivery - told that item was in stock now.

Rang Littlewoods to cancel - told order might still go through - Fastway delivery and to decline at door.

Order has been processed by Flubit, payment accepted and order ready for dispatch.

If this comes off I'll save around €10 compared to LWs. Am I wishful thinking?

Raphael

My order from Littlewood spent the long weekend in BOREHAMWOOD DEPOT. Hope the weather was nice there.

MurdyWurdy

No update to my Littlewoods tracking, it still just says despatched on the 2nd May and then on again on the 3rd May with no further information. It's weird, hoping it will get randomly updated soon!

Anyone any joy with ordering from nook.co.uk

Got the scheduled to ship email but not the confirmation of shipment email.

I'm in the same boat. I ordered early on the 1st, got the "scheduled to ship" email that afternoon, but nothing since.

I'm getting pretty annoyed that they won't either A) ship it, cancel the order, or C) at least let me know that there's a delay and it will ship at some point.

chasm

I emailed littlewoods too as my nook got sent to the same depot twice apparently, so the same reply as others here too.

Thank god i got my sister to pick up one for me in currys Uk just before she went on her holidays!

Just got another reply from them, after i complained about it being sent to the wrong depot twice, to say it has been sent to the specialist dept. I queried whether it was in stock or not - will see what response i get now!

at least tell me when it's going to arrive because the date of 10th May is highly unlikely at this stage

jarvis_c82

Sorry to be jumping into this thread but can't find the other one with Blackwells.

I ordered my one on the 1st May with Blackwell. It has arrived in Parcel Motel Belfast so hopefully they will be doing a drop later today.

Dear Garycocs,
Thank you for writing to us about your NOOK Order #######.
We reviewed your order and it was already authorised, however, due to high volume of orders, we are not able to fulfill the targeted ship date. Don't worry, NOOK is trying their best to accommodate your order. It may take four to five business days to ship it and two to six business days for the delivery.
We apologise for the inconvenience this might have caused you. Thus, we greatly appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,
Sheila
Customer Service Representative

phoned littlewoods, they told me it's fastways who have it now and whatever the problem is, it's with them. They give me a label number, but it's not tracking on the website and fastways aren't answering the phone.

Girl from littlewoods basically, once it says "dispatched" it's in the hands of the couriers.

As a matter of interest did you pay with an Irish credit card? My nook UK order was declined due to the credit card payment failing (never experienced this issue before with any other website).

If they happen to get more stock in it'll be interesting to hear how you were successful

donnacha

Well Blackwells finally cancelled my order from 30th April this morning. I really shouldn't have wasted my time phoning them last week - the verbal reassurances my order would be delivered seem like distant memory. Thankfully I'd gotten on the littlewoods train and surprisingly enough my order has been shipped - though I'll be waiting awhile by the looks of things as they are still shipping these things to the wrong depot. Anyone get theirs re-routed away from Middleton yet and safely delivered?

Dozen Wicked Words

My nook, ordered from Nook.co.uk has just moved from Utrecht to Brussels. So at least its on the move. Supposedly will be in UK by end of day tomorrow via UPS.

Ordered one from Littlewoods too, which, if I cant cancel (have tried but not sure if it will go through) I will sell on at cost price if someone needs it.


Edit, just got a very nice email from littlewoods, apparently its too late to cancel my order so will sell on when it arrives. (have had no delivery update or change in status since I ordered but still!)

iPhone.

Has anyone at all, who ordered one from any of the various suppliers managed to get an actual delivery and have it in their possesion now?, excluding store collections I mean.

Good question. At this rate they could be manufacturing to order

That's what they're at! Delaying the deliveries to give nook enough time to hand write out all the books which will be required once people get their hands on the readers!! :D

Yes, this morning. I have already played it around with it, rooted it, installed android and the play store, played around some more, and it's now in the cupboard collecting dust until my tablet breaks or until someone's birthday comes along.

And you ordered it when and from whom?

Nook UK, and the morning of 30th April. I got it delivered to London though. I also have a second one on the way for my mom via Parcel Motel which is currently in Newtownabbey.

Great, good to hear someone got one! Hopefully the rest will get a move on soon too.

I got the Glolight version from Argos UK through Parcel Motel. Ordered last Wednesday and collected it first thing Saturday morning. Paid the extra for the light version for the extra flexibility at night.

Delighted with it and, as a bit of a Nook veteran as I have the Nook First Edition, the changes in technology in only a couple of years is quite impressive.

Allyall

Well. I should always take my own advice.
This has gone from bad to worse.
I never use Paypal, and i never wanted to have anything to do with Littlewoods. I should always remember that.

The crap i had with Littlewoods, i can forget, but i'll never use them. Ever.

So... I had €70 on my debit card.

I clicked "Buy" on the Nook website, and (i didn't know at the time) was charged €34.28 + €0.94 FX Commission.
8 hours later, at 01:20AM they emailed me telling me my order had been cancelled.
Fine, I thought. I'll get it somewhere else.
Tried to buy it from a couple of places, and realised I was having some problem. Found out it was insufficient funds.

I wasn't going to top up my card for the sake of €2 or €3. Nook will put the money back quick enough. I can wait until then.
5 days later, it still hasn't returned.
I have emailed Nook 3 times, have got no response from them. Nothing - Except a weekly nook news letter.

So, I decided a couple of days ago, to try Flubit.
I received an offer today, and tried to buy it. When it went to the Paypal Popout, i was presented with: "Error: Unknown Credit Card 783******** ".

I didn't know what that was, so i went through the Flubit steps again, same problem, so i cleaned out my Cookies and History. Same problem.
Logged into Paypal, via their own website, deleted and old card that was attached to my account from two years ago, Double checked my card was correct, and attached (it was), and went back to Flubit, with Paypal open in another tab.
Same Error.

Contacted Flubit - Who were very quick to reply, and very helpful.

Thank you so much for your email

I haven't heard of that problem before, but we are in touch with PayPal regarding some other problems that our users are having in regards to payment.
Do you think it would be possible for you to take a screenshot of what you are seeing as well as copying and pasting the source code of the pop-up in an email back to me?
Here is an article that shows how to do that (check out the 3 steps in Section 2): https://flubit.zendesk.com/entries/23595256-Payments-on-PayPal

So I went back to the Flubit site, and went through the steps. Obviously the same problems happened. Did as i was asked, and emailed Flubit back with the info.
Also, I was asked to try purchasing as a "guest". I tried that, entered my details manually, and tried. No luck. Some other error, So i decided to try THAT one more time. No luck.

So while i wait for Flubit to get back to me, i decided I'd go to the shop, top up my card, and if all flubit fails me, I'll just buy a Kobo or Kindle. As this whole mess is for somebody's birthday present.
I went for a walk, stopped into the shop, topped up my debit card by €100.
Flubit had replied to my email while I was out

Hi *****

Thank you for the screenshot!
I see that you're buying in euros – can I ask if your billing address is outside of the UK? I'm worried that maybe PayPal is not letting you pay because you aren't in the UK.

Please let me know

Decided to check my account and it's down to €118. 34 or something

Huh?

Paypal very kindly decided to charge me €1.19 every time i clicked "Buy Your Offer" on the flubit site (8 times apparently). FX Commission or some cráp.

So now i have to contact the very unhelpful people in Paypal and ask them to give me back my money. Paypal are renowned for not wanting to do that, so i might have a small battle on my hands (If i get to speak to anyone), for what may seem like an insignificant amount to some people, and the hassle it will create trying to retrieve it.
So, now I have so far been charged €44 (ish) and i don't even have a Nook on hold anywhere, or on the way to me. Nothing. (Flubit offer is about to expire) I have no nook, and i am down €44 (ish).
Well. That's a pain in the áss..

Even reading this post has made me feel unlucky. Hope I get an extra I can pass on. It's a joke the amount of cancelling etc that is going on. Nook sent me a survey to ask about my experience :rolleyes:

Be very, very, careful of the screen. Any sort of a scratch seems to knock off the internal coating meaning that when the light is on it shines through. It doesn't impact on the look of the screen with the light off though. I think it also makes sense to ignore the advice not to put on a screen protector as apparently that will indeed protect it.
I speak from unfortunate experience and some googling confirming that this is a common problem. I talked with B&N re a replacement and they're happy to replace mine, but only via a US address (I bought it over there), as that's not practical, there's not much I can do.

*chortle*:pac:

It has been a disaster for most, from what I'm reading. Littlewoods apparently taking orders knowing they haven't had any on stock since half way through the 2nd day of the Sale. They seem to be banking on the new stock to arrive, and dispatching it as quickly as possible. Barnes & Noble are playing down the rumours that it is in fact a Fire Sale, and are saying the promotion will end soon, even though they've just slashed the prices in America now too.
But if the Sale does end, and the prices do go back up, Littlewoods will only be able to honour the £29 price tag for the stock they've been given.

But overall i think B&N handled this terribly. They have to have known putting them at that price would get attention, and their first action was to kill their website pay system..


That'd be cool if you did get any extra.. Hopefully somebody definitely will, and hopefully I'll eventually be holding a Nook.

I'm adding a new 'rule' for myself..

...Stay away from Firesales. :rolleyes:

Thanks for this. I also bought a cover at the same time and am extremely careful with my gadgets. Useful to know all the same.

I must say the light is extremely effective at night, even on only 25% or so brightness. Was able to read most comfortably last night without disturbing the other half.
