Guest Marshy84 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Got mine through Currys but haven't received anything since the processing confirmation. As long as I get it and they don't cancel it like they have with other people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marmankites Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Confirmation received from Currys at 15:45 THEN at 15:52 they tell me that there is a problem and I won't get my order in the timescale specified :P oh well, atleast it's on order. :D I had my second email by that time: "We are processing your PC WORLD order" 27 November 2010 15:45 Glad I have two! Figures someone outside the Uk on here will want my second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JusTox Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Originally wanted the Archos 101 because for the Aesthetics, but after Modacos ROM decided I want the Advent Vega now for modding. Wanted to order of PC world for the screen protector too but after hearing about the code 10POUND, I re registered on currys to find out the code gave me ###error_promocode_not_applicable### and that it went out of stock on the next screen.

Guest Bobbler Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I didn't realise it's online only for the moment :P Will be waiting till they get them in store before I buy, want to feel what it's like in the hand etc as ithat's quite important for this form factor IMO.

Bobbler - you know you can order online and despite what any terms and conditions a retailer gives you, you legally have upto 7 days to cancel the order from the time it arrives with you. THat way as long as you are careful, you can have a play and if you decide it's not for you, then you can return it - and get a full refund including the original postage (if any).

Guest welshblob Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I'm sure its been mentioned but does anyone get the impression they are deliberately limiting stock to get more online sales? To give them the benefit of the doubt it maybe because they don't want another folio debacle and so want iron out the kinks initially. Also if there have been delays with the supplier then i'd guess they'd have to fly them over in relatively small batches and also only take as many as they can supply. The advent vega twitter guy is over in china as i type .... i wonder why? Rob ..... first post from my vega :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iakonadub Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I hear they sold out in 6 minutes... blimey. So the big question for me is whether or not the buzz is widespread or just confined to the UK Android Hacking community. Are we tlaking they have sold tens, hundreds, thousands? Ralph Nope, widespread...well only widespread among the android hacking community irregardless of country. Someone want to buy this American a advent Vega, we can work something out.

Guest Genieuk Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Anyone have their Quidco track?, mines not tracked yet, got all 3 email confirmations from currys about my order though, so that looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest .logan Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I managed to order yesterday afternoon, got the confirm email, but now have an email saying that they may have trouble honouring the expected timeline for delivery :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nigelpwilson Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I managed to order yesterday afternoon, got the confirm email, but now have an email saying that they may have trouble honouring the expected timeline for delivery :-( Same happened to me, so I called them and they said that stock had sold out and they were showing minus 7 on their system. Gave me a choice of a refund or going on a 'forward order' which means waiting for next batch and then one is automatically allocated. I chose the forward order option. What has everyone else been told ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nigelpwilson Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 i only got the two 'We are now preparing your PC World order for delivery.

Guest micsin Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I got the "may have trouble honouring the expected timeline for delivery" email but then recieved two "We are now preparing your Currys order for delivery".

Guest ShaunR_UK Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 So how many of us have got the 'delay' email ? I used to work for DSG and so am aware of the forward order process, in theory there should only be 7 ? I got one also. I called Currys and they told me about the -7 stock level (the chap seemed surprised that this could happen). He told me i had stock approved for my order and it was showing a delivery date of 29/11, but added he didn't see how this could be achieved. Anyway, he told me to call back on Monday to confirm...there was no mention of an offer to cancel or forward ordering. Cheers, Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest what time did you guys receive your confirmation email, mine came at 15:43 followed by 2 at 15:54 saying being processed then another at 15:54 saying potential delay etc...
