Any one get there wii from Germany yet?

dts

Just wondered if anybody has got there wii ordered from the german ebay site yet?
I was hopeing that mine would turn up today but no sign as yet.
I ordered mine on Sunday so fingers crossed.

lookinforpicnic

mine was posted monday apparently and not here yet, in dublin and I think there is wii's around at the moment so hope it comes tomorrow....

Gibrean

No sign of mine yet either. Cant track it with the code either which is a bit annoying.

Last chance tomorrow!

Kinetic^

I asked DHL and they said that the code I was given was a German Post Office code so I've contacted the seller to get him to get the DHL number.

Gibrean

Let me know if he gets back to you.

He said that units have begun arriving in France that he sent on Monday...
If he sent by regular post I don't think they'll arrive by tomorrow (which means his Ebay rating is going to get a hammering by me)

Didn't we pay €25 for him to send them airmail?
If it has been sent by normal post there is no way they will get here by tomorrow
His eBay feedback wont be good from me either.

I was tempted to buy from ebay but looking at the German DHL site is suggested that airmail packets (as distinct from the 70euro DHL overnight package) would take 2 - 3 days. Add in another day for the seller to package and post the item and a bit of delay due to the Christmas volumes I figured it would be very very tight and not the fault of the seller if it didn't arrive.

Gibrean

Trying to check via www.deutschepost.de but the site is hammered at the moment.

The seller just traced mine, it can only be tracked by phone he didn't say why. It has left Germany and he hopes it will be with me in the next few days.
I am not holding out much hope of getting it before xmas now.

I wasn't saying its the sellers fault if it doesn't get here on time but I would like him to use the postage method that we paid for. He said 2-3 days but I know that Xmas is a crazy time anyway for post anyway.

Tuesday afternoon.

This was the reply I got

hello david, i have phoned the no. for germany (costs EUR 0,12/minute) on there website to inform why tracking over website doesn't work, they say you can only trace by phone, so i have traced and they answered me that the parcel has left germany and they have a lot to do with many parcel before christmas now, so now we will hope that it comes up to you in the next days, if you have any other questions please mail me, friendly greets preisguenstiges (marcel)

All I can do is hope

dts

This was what I found on the DHL website

Note that it is not possible to track parcels sent using Deutsche Post / DHL mail services.

This sums up my wii experiance so far. Why has nothing gone right for me and my wii.

Gibrean

My response -pretty much identical your yours DTS.
Luckily today Im wayyyy to hungover to trusted with a wiimote.


"hello Clement Egan, yes i have contacted now DHL by phone and ask why tracing doesn't work on their homepage, i have phoned the no. for germany 01805/3452255 (costs EUR 0,12/minute) on there website to inform why tracking over website doesn't work, they say you can only trace by phone, so i have traced and they answered me that the parcel has left germany so now we will hope that it comes up to you in the next days, if you have any other questions please mail me, friendly greets preisguenstiges (marcel)"

dts

So I phoned DHL germany. They tracked it for me and said he didnt post it until the 20th December and it can take up to ten days to arrive. So thanks marcel it looks like you have stuffed us for Xmas.:mad:
I hate Wii

dts

Oh just to let you know DHL Germany is 004918053452255 if anyone else wants to check.

It will arrive with An Post, not DHL.
Deutsche Post use DHL in Germany but when it gets here it is handed over to An Post to deliver. I know that is not much good to us but they are delivering parcels right up to Christmas Eve.

yeah no wii in the post this morning, haven't bothered trying to track it, no hope now before xmas, best of luck the rest of ye

Kinetic^

Yeah doubt it'll get here for christmas :rolleyes: Just have to play my 360 instead:)

What day did you buy yours? Mine was Monday and I had the tracking number Tuesaday evening so mine was posted Tuesday afternoon.
Still two more days of deliveries so someone here might be lucky.

Kinetic^

I'm the same as you Moofy.

Cooee

does everyone have unique tracking numbers.....call me suspicious but.....

Good Luck anyway! I suppose worst case scenario it might arrive 27/28/29 Dec still in time for Xmas gaming! Sure every1 would be too busy on Xmas day eating and on Stephens Day recovering from eating

I assume we have different tracking numbers, never thought about it.
The seller seems to have good feedback on Ebay so I doubt there is anything wrong.

Dont mean to sicken ye even further, but looks like the Wii has arrived in loads of shops today!!

Yeah we know but we still wouldn't be sure of getting one, especially those of us stuck at work
It seems Smyths are still not selling them to anyone that doesn't have a pre-order ,at least the two stores in Cork are not.

PHB

If it does come, it might get here tomorrow or sunday and arrive into the depot. You might be able to ring them and see if you can collect it from the depot.
DHL allow this, I don't know if An Post do

dts

Sorry about this lads. I feel bad as it was me who put you all on to this seller. I have spoken to him through email and contacted DHL. First I would like to confirm that after talking to DHL I know that the wii exists and is on its way, so would assume we are all ok on that part. I ordered mine on Sunday, he tells me he posted it on Monday. DHL tell me it left Germany on Wednesday and not to worry as they have up to ten days to deliver it!:mad:
The seller tells me that the woman in the post office had told him it should get to me before xmas but because of the time of year it wasnt definate.
Now if anpost do take over when it gets to this end then it could still turn up tomorrow.
Again sorry for putting you all on to the guy but we will get them its just when?
Hope you all still have a good Xmas

DTS

Kinetic^

Ah it ain't your fault man. When buying anything off eBay there's no guarantees.

Moofy

Don't beat yourself up about it, its not your fault.
We may have got them in time if we had an efficient postal service. There is no parcel delivery today from An Post and there is no way anything can be collected from the depot until Thursday when they open again:mad:
I hope that doesn't ruin anyones christmas

dts

Well, its Xmas day and in a moment of madness I bought and picked up a wii this morning. Thankyou very much to ebay.ie and another 350euro. So I will have an extra console come the new year.
Will anyone want it?

Kinetic^

DTS, you're off your rocker

drdre

did anyone recieve it yet, just to tell you theres a backlog with the post. It has taken 28 days to get a package from uk to ireland:eek: and guess what i still havent recieved it but i tracked it and its in ireland thank god

Hope you guys get the wii soon.And happy christmas

The kids opend there pressies this morning and the eldest was over the moon with her DS. I had a nitro driven monster truck and the wife had a selection of wii games and controller and nothing to play them on. That was when I decided to byte the bullet and pay over the odds for a second one rather than wait for the first to arrive. She wanted 400 but we only had 350 in the house so I got it for 350.
Its made xmas day!!!!!!!!:D

Good stuff DTS, just hope the ones from eBay show up tomorrow.

Mine was posted on monday. Left dublin friday to come home and it was getting posted to dublin so i don't know if it has arrived yet, but doubt it considering no one elses has arrived. No need for apologies dts and good on you for getting one for xmas.. you really left it till the last minute there.

FWIW An Post are cetainly on the move today so at least mail will be further sorted tonight and read for the morning.

The paragons of the industry aren't doing much better - http://www.dhl.ie/publish/ie/en/information/shipping/bulletin/151205.high.html

DHL depots in Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Letterkenny, Sligo & Tralee are closed as well. God knows what GLS are doing (assuming they know themselves).

So did anyones turn up today?

Negative. Got my component cable from play.com though

Some good news...as I mentioned before I was tempted by the ebay.de option - they were so much cheaper than ebay.co.uk but I thought it through and figured that unless I paid for DHL Overnight they were unlikely to hit Cork before Christmas once you factor in seller delay and Christmas delay. Luckily afterwards I got the last unit in Gamestop Blackpool. But still I figured it beter to hold my cash and wait rather than pay it out and wait (even Amazon was dodgy re delivery times).

finally

Just got mine NOW!

Gotta open it to make sure it doesn't have a brick inside! :rolleyes:

All things considered not bad - only paid €291 + postage....so not totally screwed!

tk123

Ah nice one DHL usually come to my work around 12:30 so it could be on the way!!!
