Just had Flubit cancel my accepted order from Currys as they no longer have any stock. Refunded me already.

Now it's down to Littlewoods, I'm not too hopeful at this stage of getting one.

So they had accepted your order completely and they cancelled?! Had they taken the money?

They took my money a few days ago.

Was it because currys have no stock or flubit?

Got mine today, 3 days before scheduled! It's a beauty for such a low price.

why the mad rush to immediately update firmware, root the ass out of it - maybe just actually use it for a while

ThunbergsAreGo · 10-05-2013 12:06PM

i want the kindle app on it anyways as i have all them bought from my android tablet

Yep had taken payment via PayPal. It was with Fireworks via Currys uk link. At the time Currys said on their websites that they'd have more stock on 17th. Now when I look at Currys website I see that they no longer have it in stock. They have already refunded me via PayPal.

Hence I have a feeling that my Littlewoods order will have the same fate - order is stagnant at dispatching from warehouse and no payment has been taken yet.

I have the same order with Currys/Flubit. I think it is bad form by Flubit. I mean if the offer is made then they should carry through. I doubt they are going to refund me the sterling conversion charge made by my bank. I cancelled my Littlewoods order as I thought it wasn't going through. So it looks like I am stuck and I wanted one as a present for my Godson - not sure where I'll get one now.

Mine showed up from Littlewoods yesterday afternoon too, even after the Middleton mishaps.

10-05-2013 02:01PM

so it looks like littlewoods are actually coming through with the orders in the end (who knew?!), despite the best efforts of fastways to break the record for the most nooks to circumnavigate Ireland in white vans before final delivery, and that the so-called reliable vendors are coming up short...

The holdups have been on the UK side, once Fastway Ireland have a hold of them they have usually been delivered same/next day.

I'll get back to you if I ever receive my order that has been processing in their warehouse for a week and a half at this stage...

ok... so Littlewoods fault then...

The plot thickens - On my Littlewoods 'Transaction History' page:

Balance b/f from last statement
Items You Don't Need To Pay For Now
03/05/2013 34TQT1K Nook® Simple Touch Ereader Black 36.00 - Direct From Manufacturer
03/05/2013 To Be Charged To Visa - On Despatch

Do Littlewoods therefore actually have a warehouse, or are they just piggy-backing the Nook logistics warehouse used by Barnes and Noble UK?

Just got an email from the Nook shop, mine seems to have shipped.

I got an email from the Nook shop on Wednesday to say that my Nook was "on it's way". But looking at the tracking now today, it's still sitting in the fncking warehouse.

Were Littlewoods UK always charging £39?

NOOK Simple Touch eReader - Black
Item Numbers: 34TQT1I
Was £99.00 Now £39.00 Save £60.00

10-05-2013 03:39PM

Just ordered one of these from Littlewoods. Already have a Kindle Paperwhite so possibly I've just wasted €36. Intrigued by the idea of rooting it though.

No, they were €40, and you can use a discount code to save 10% and get it for €36.

biebiebie · 10-05-2013 04:42PM

Yes that's for Ireland.
But were they not £29 on the Littlewoods UK website?

10-05-2013 04:53PM

Got mine this morning besides it being misrouted in uk it also got misrouted here in Ireland went to fastways north west depot yesterday but arrived to house this morning happy with that nice machine for €36,no idea about rooting or whatever just going to use it for what it was made for.

I didn't check the uk site :P

Seaneh · 10-05-2013 05:44PM

Ok, for anyone having trouble updating the firmware, you were probably doing the same thing I was and downloading the update from Barnesandnobel.com, which is the US update, we need the UK update which you can get here!

Downloaded from that link and it's working perfectly now, infact my nook has just restarted after updating!

Hope that helps the others like me who made that very easy mistake!

breathn · 10-05-2013 06:41PM

Thanks OP. Nook arrived today from Blackwell (with paypal) via parcelmotel.
Took 10 days in total, nice little device
