woooohoooooo I couldn't stand the suspense any longer so I phone Dixons, managed to get a DHL tracking code out of em but when I entered it on the site it couldn't find it. Just off the phone from DHL and they inform me I should expect my delivery tomorrow B) :happydance:

I was putting off calling them for fear of knowing that my order had been cancelled.

OMG I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight ...... anyone else feel like its Christmas eve ? lol

I'm so jealous!

I expect that I will miss out if they release some more tomorrow too as I'll be out most of the day and can't keep checking their website. I guess I'll have to wait until the stock situation improves. At least you lucky guys and galls can tell the rest of us what it's like...

[Guest simon.n.jonez]

have any of you read the manual off the new vega website,theres not much there but it does say pinch to zoom in the browser.SUCK IT FOLIO

[Guest Nanu*1]

I see Quidco aren't honouring the 3.5% cash back as offered at the time of purchase... :-s

[Guest JingleManSweep]

So, by the looks of things, DSGi have booked the consignments with DHL ("Parcel data received awaiting collection"), but DHL have yet to collect them. Is it because they still don't have stock?

If they book the consignment with DHL, they can probably close the orders on their system, hence why we received the order confirmation emails this morning, but do we know when they are being collected by DHL?

I think this may be another delay tactic, but then again, I'm quite cynical about this kind of stuff. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that when I get home from work tomorrow night, I can play with my new tablet!

[Guest alfe]

Just had a cancellation email from curry's had mine ordered at 10.10am. I am very upset. Said they would refund my account. U guys who got it are very lucky. So disappointed

[Guest 5c00ter]

Cancellations suck, especially if you've been actively following developments since the Vega hit the press. Try tweeting @AdentVega the guy's name is David Ward and see if it's possible to get any kind of explanation.

[Guest ricwales1]

I hope they have been collected. But dhl might be as slow as dsg for updates lol

I totally agree with you on this and believe if they had stock DHL would have certainly collected it and updated their system by now. The problem is that we all feel let down by the whole process and now automacticly thinK the worst.

That said DSG are not stupid and they will be reading this thread as much as anybody and more than likley a bit of a giggle behind our backs.

[Guest removed-14]

Well my DHL tracking shows the parcel moving between depots so don't know about everyone else but unless I get an empty box delivered tomorrow it looks like I might get mine soon.

Afternoon All,

First Post!!

Right I have just received an email confirming my order has been cancelled :-(

I placed my order via PC World at approx. 9:30 on the 19th Nov - Order number PCW1******442.

After speaking to both PC World and Currys Sales line this evening - they are both saying NO NEW STOCK until next week!

Not sure whether to believe @AdventVega on twitter!!

How many of you have had their order cancelled?

Mark

Thats not good mate. I would love to know how they decide on which orders get cancelled as is obvious it is not on a last come basis if you ordered at 9.30am
