Amazon not delivering (for free) by Christmas

missingink

I placed orders for seven items on the 2nd & 4th Dec. They were delivered in about three seperate lots, the last of which I received Monday. Three of those items were from Amazon's 'sister' co-Indigostarfish, which is based in Jersey.:T

I always find their prices above the rrp so I don't bother buying there anyway.

Ordered a Wii Fit from Amazon (not the Marketplace) on 2 Dec when it was showing stock (and still showed stock after I completed the purchase) and they are now forcasting a delivery date of May 09. :eek:

Really - what kind of items? I always find Amazon to the cheapest place for most things - ordered a Jansport rucksack for £22.99 this morning which was £30 + delivery in most other places.

I ordered today and the delivery date was 19th-24th dec. via Indigostarfish (jersey); bit tight!

Ordered a toy for grandson's christmas pressie last night, good job I saw this and checked - now my order is saying in red letters - "This item will not arrive by Xmas" and delivery between 9-15 Jan., so have cancelled and gone elsewhere.
Thanks - saved a lot of last minute upset, I'll take more notice in future.

You might have been lucky then.But in my personal experience I have always found them more expensive.:D

But if I ever need a Jansport rucksack I know where to go.

Really? So that's why I paid just £49 for the complete Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD set on Amazon when everyone else wants well over £100 for it?

And most of the time I find Amazon cheaper even without a sale.

I also find Amazon cheapest for most things although occasionally DVD box sets are cheaper at HMV if on special offer.

I ordered a book and a Baby Annabell doll yesterday. Today they are showing as despatched. The book estimated delivery tomorrow (which will be a surprise as they usually take a bit longer, and the doll estimated delivery 15th.
