I signed up to that about a week ago. I'm not expecting to hear anything back really. Though it did let me enter all my details for Ireland, so we'll see. There was a competition too to win a Switch, that definitely won't happen, as per usual it's only for UK residents. I was going to say something(and will) if I receive the magazine.

Finding it hard to find any Switch bundles these days with the better battery.

Anyone seen anything good?

Curry's in the UK have the improved switch and Mario Kart for £300 which is about €345. Best I could find over a month of research and ordered it last week.

I thought Currys uk don't deliver to Rep Ireland?

On a separate note can someone recommend a good headphones/headset for online play?

You won't because any bundles are being used to shift the old units. Certainly got me! :pac: You'll be waiting till just before Christmas for anything like that, after Pokemon.

They don't, and you need to use a vpn for any transaction to actually go through.

I put it through Parcel Motel and it landed this morning.

Yeah, parcel motel all the way. Got a laptop delivered via them from Currys UK directly.

Why not wait till Black Friday? I'm planning to do so!
(I mean I'm anxious to buy one decent bundle, but I can wait a bit!)

I think it's Currys@eBay that won't ship to service like Parcel Motel or Parcel Wizard. The main Currys.co.uk site have no such reluctance though it seems.

I had a 27" monitor shipped from Curry's eBay to AddressPal. The main Curry's.co.uk wouldn't ship to Ireland or mail forwarding addresses for me.

Improved battery Switch with choice of MK8, Link's Awakening, Mario Maker 2, Pokemon Sword or Shield, or Luigi's Mansion for 350 on Littlewoods. Console on its own is 305, and there are other bundles with 2 games.

Ordered a phone once from them, it never shipped, they just gave me the run around for weeks. Got money back and got phone next day from 3. They rate very low on trustpilot

I've ordered random stuff from them over the years. Never any problem here. Dispatched within a few days and delivered within the week. Only issues I've had is with the courier. They use (or at least used to use) Fastway, and the local driver here is an a$$hole who tells you to drive around looking for him if you miss the delivery.

I tried to order boots for the wife from them once and I couldn't get my account fully setup. It wouldn't accept my address for some reason as it wasn't unique I think, even when I used the Eircode. Drove me around the bend and I gave up.

Thankfully found the same boots cheaper then on that shoe chain Office.

Ordered this magazine this morning and received a dispatch email this afternoon. Using Parcel Motel.

Just got an email saying a copy of that Nintendo gamesradar book was dispatched to me because I had ordered off the store.

Same here, along with bit about 10% off voucher in Nintendo UK Store that's contained within the book.

I also ordered a copy of that magazine on their website but put down a Belfast postcode as it couldn't find my own address in the Republic. They then asked me for some feedback so I basically said that even though they were Nintendo UK and Ireland, sometimes those in the Republic are left out regarding certain offers. Maybe others have also said something similar to what I replied in my feedback and Nintendo have listened, seeing as two of you will receive the magazine without even ordering it?

sligeach

Did ye all use a UK address, AddressPal, ParcelMotel or whatever? I used my ROI address and have heard nothing and I entered my details over a week ago.

CastorTroy

That's what I can't remember. Looking back through emails to see what physical items I got from them.
Wind Waker HD Collector's Edition was sent to Parcel Motel.
Luigi's Mansion Diorama, I can't see an address.
Joycon replacement sent to my home address.

So I guess I should expect a Parcel Motel notification.

Thank you from Nintendo

This is still ridiculous. But I don't see any cheaper elsewhere.

Come on nintendo, this is extortion.

It says they will credit back £50 to your account, I wonder whether that's to your Very account or your actual bank account.
