    I ordered some stuff on super saver and it was only dispatched today, well over a week later.

    Amazon are nowhere near as good as they used to be.
    Like the poster above I'm going to raise hell if they cancel the Wii U bundles before Christmas

    Depends on what you order I reckon. I ordered last week during the Black Friday shenanigans, two packages came a day or two earlier than the expected delivery date, arrived Monday and Tuesday, big enough packages too.

    Oddly the smallest package, the size of a book, was despatched earlier than the rest and it doesn't have an expected delivery date until Monday.

    I ordered mario kart bundle through flubit and it says "item dispatched" so maybe it depends on when you ordered, maybe they don't have enough stock to fulfill all the orders so they going by who ordered first. Fingers crossed i get mine

    Well thanks amazon. That's my Christmas ruined.
    Got a £15 voucher off them anyway mind you.

    Anyone know a place selling the same bundle?

    Cause Amazon want to ruin your Christmas.

    Might get into Joe Duffy about this.

    It's not as if they don't have all the items individually.
    Really bad form not honoring this for Christmas time

    I guess they took all the preorders instead of locking out after x number of orders.. early ones will be honored, later ones cancelled I reckon.

    Sent Amazon an absolutely stinking email over this (and trust me they make it as hard as possible to find the email form)
    This is disgraceful for a number of reasons:
    1) It's Christmas
    2) They are honouring some orders and not others
    3) They have all the items in stock individually.

    Amazon are nowhere near the force they used be.

    Just a few weeks I got an email saying that they got my returns and they're refunding me.
    I didn't return anything!
    I had put in a large order and never got it. Ok they did refund me but I had to go to the trouble of ordering it again.
    The thing is they refunded every item individually into my account which costed me a small fortune in bank charges!

    I think I'll be emailing them myself! What did you say can I ask? I'm very dissatisfied after having already received the additional items I ordered.

    It was a great offer though. I wonder will it be offered again after the Christmas...

    Don't email, do a live chat and give them a right bollocking.

    Someone said on the corresponding thread on HOTUKDEALS that Nintendo are deliberately withholding basic stock to drive up premium pack sales so it mightn't be Amazon's fault.

    Still doesn't stop my xmas from being ruined mind you.
    Hope this offer is back again soon

    Got a reply from Amazon.
    Didn't offer me anything. In fact the reply was just a copy/paste.

    ****ers.
    Will onyl use them as a last resort from now on.

    "Free delivery" from them is a joke as you're waiting about 2 weeks for your items. Even The Hut/Zavvi are faster than them these days

    All my recent deliveries arrived ahead of the scheduled delivery dates, within a week.
    As said, I somehow doubt Amazon are aiming to run anyone's Christmas.

    I've had 2-3 deliveries from Amazon pretty much every month for the last few years. All free shipping and nearly always arrived within 3-5 working days. Their customer service is the best on the planet too. You sure it was in stock when you ordered?

    Can anyone recommend a similar bundle to this or does one even exist? Just looking at the individual items on toys.ie and this looked like a remarkably good deal for £200 when it included probably £150 worth of games and the console itself.

    what do you guys think fo this?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Basic-Pack-Super-Smash/dp/B00P68FXY4/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1417980138&sr=8-10&keywords=wii+u

    With my £15 vouchers I can get for 175 pounds. Although I'm not sure. I'm not really a fan of smash bros. Would much prefer Mario Kart * and/or Mario 3d World but they're quite dear separately.

    Think I'll pray they get the Mario Kart 8/Mario World bundle back in.
