    Had ordered from Nook using Visa Debit and bt11aa postcode and got the confirmation e-mail, now I've got the CC not approved e-mail. I'm a bit wary of ordering from Blackwell now in case I get two of them. Can't figure that non approval thing, I order from UK sites all the time, that was the whole idea of the Visa Debit card.

    i got the same thing from the nook site although i used parcel motel

    just went ahead and ordered on blackwell.. figured nook will try to charge my card, fail a few times and the order will be cancelled

    hope so anyway.. really dont want/need two of these things and I'm supposed to be saving money

    i made the mistake of not creating an account though, so I can't go in and cancel the order or edit anything.

    --edit

    emailed nook customer support anyway cancelling the order, just to be safe

    As I said before, people from the UK are also getting card not approved emails form the Nook site so by all means try the Blackwell site.

    I just put my code and parcel motel address in the address boxes.. guess I'll find out sometime next week


    Once you used the Northern Ireland PM address you're laughing.

    How did you manage to get them to deliver to Ireland, the site expressly says UK customers only?

    I actually used PayPal and parcelmotel as it was cheaper. During the process though there was definitely an option to choose Ireland for delivery address as that's what I selected to find the postage costs. I ended up using Ireland as my invoicing address to avoid any junk mail hitting my parcelmotel address.

    Just FYI, it should be your name first, then parcel motel ID.

    That said, I accidentally placed my first order without the name and still got the parcel anyway

    i put my name in the first name/surname boxes and then the first column for the address I put "parcelmotelcode Parcel Motel" second address was the rest of the parcel motel address stuff

    im sure the post men are familiar enough with parcel motel tat even if I ****ed it up it'll find its way to me

    hope so anyway...

    Tempted to get one just to play about with, even though I've already got a kindle... The sudden drastic price drop does seem quite suspect though - are they about to announce the next big thing at a lower price than this was selling last week?
    I told myself I wouldn't get another e-reader until they're luminous and waterproof... Fingers crossed that'll be soon!

    Just ordered one @ littlewoodds, but judging from website response speed there are few thousand buyers like me all the time so I doubt I will really get it. Anyway - will be fun next few days, tracking how it is going...

    The price drop seems to coincide with a promotion called "Let's Get London Reading" - - Or something like that..
    Another store that will deliver it is Foyles.

    More about the offer is here

    John Lewis still has it at £79.

    I got the error email when I didn't create an account. It came 2 mins after the order.

    Ordered a second one after making an account and I've not had an error email... yet.

    Just ordered on littlewoods,got email confirmation.Wife had a 10% discount code from O2 so €36!I'll be checking back on this thread when it arrives to get help rooting this little bad boy!

    Did the same myself :D Hope the discount applies though, because it said in the small print that it couldn't be used on sales items. Although it's not bad even at €40. My sister has one reserved (for me) for pick up tomorrow in Currys in the UK, so that's 2 Christmas presents sorted :D (I know it's only May, but i've 9 nieces and nephews to buy for so i like to start early)

    Bálls.

    I have been looking for a cheap one for a while now.
    Germany have hem all the time, but won't ship here, and the Kobo is the next cheapest, but not a great price for it's screen size.
    If they ship to UK then Parcel Motel it to Belfast and have it forwarded to here, a fantastic service.

    I used Blackwells in the end, but nothing has been taken from my card.

    Yeah, hope so. I started to think that they might not deliver them to us, as they have a statement on website saying for UK residents only.
    But just remembered i ordered it to Parcel Motel.. :D
    (Thought i had used my address and BT1 1AA).

    yeah the fact it's for a "get london reading" might have them scratching chins wondering if parcel motel fits the spirit of things
    hopefully they get honored. pretty excited about having it

    Also, i want to order one of the case covers and screen protectors, but i don't want to be left with a cover/protector and no Nook..

    Something like this.

    As i'm going to give it as a present.

    CRÁP! :eek:

    I DIDN'T USE PARCEL MOTEL! Ahhhhhhh nuts. I ordered it directly to me.. they mightn't ship it.
    I was using Parcel Motel on the Nook website, but it wasn't working..

    well i don't think the offer is ending today or tomorrow so if blackwells do cancel your orders just do a new one using parcel motel

    I'll update anyway when I get word from blackwells on whether the order has gone through or not

    Cheers. That's a niggling annoyance now. Hope they don't sell out, and i don't really want to risk ordering a 2nd, and having 2.



    I'm Getting stared at from across the room.. I best get off boards... :o

    I ordered this morning with the O2 code and got a confirmation email from littlewoods. I logged onto the site and my order is processed - can you logon and check your orders? Maybe and issue with the email address or a spam filter

    i ordered direct from Nook and got an email within half an hour saying "Your order is scheduled to ship". Used Parcel Motel and visa debit card, so seems to have gone through for me.

    Mise freisin. It would be stupid for them not to block the order when we used Irish addresses and give us a postage cost and then cancel it in the end!
    Someone cooked up their programming I reckon :pac:
