  • clicked on my order status for num nums and garage that I bought on Play.com and it says STATUS

    Awaiting Stock: 12/11/2009


    does this mean stock due in today, or order processed today?

    Yes, me too, if anyone wants to find something or to order something or even book tickets and things, i'm the mug that ends up doing it in-between trying to work. However, I've never been asked on this scale before and 'some' people who just put a question on here without thinking to look back at previous posts or make any effort themselves to search for the info or stock - both in the shops or online, have no idea how many hours and hours and hours of searching day and night, that this hunt has involved for a lot of really nice people that regularly voluntarily contribute to this forum. Or may be they do, and just want the answer without the effort. The sad thing is that when we do bother to answer some people's queries they don't even click on the button to say thanks and they also don't post any stock info to the forum themselves. It should be share and share alike but obviously some, those who just ask a question then lurk the rest of the time, are probably just after grabbing stock and wouldn't dream of telling anyone else where it was. Sorry, I'm on my high horse today...due to only having 3 - 4 hours sleep at night for the last few weeks of this hunt. I've now lost a stone and a half through not stopping to eat - on the plus side, I will look good for Christmas though:rotfl:
    You are absolutely right, people do want the easy way and this has not been an easy road I for one thanks to you and other posters on here have managed to get a lot more than just doing it on my own so am very grateful and thank you very much, I do hope sleep comes your way soon;)

    Thanks guys - thats been really helpful :)

    I don't really want to get the house and all that atm - we just don't have the room so I figured maybe the ball and skateboard or something like that would still be good enough for her. Just had a quick peek on ebay and amazon and I can't believe the prices of these!! :o I think I might just wait till after xmas and hope it arrives in time for dd's bday!! Although it is giving me something to do :D

  • I have just phoned play.com.

    Go Go hamsters will NOT be in stock until 28 days time.

    They WILL be delivered in time for Christmas.

    Your money will NOT be taken until 28 days time although you have made an order now.

    This is what I made the woman repeat several times, especially the 'in time for Christmas' bit!

    I hope they are true to their word. Well, her word!
    Went to the paper shop - it had blown away.

    btw I haven't seen Smyths toys mentioned at all in the past few pages (although I may have just missed it) but according to their website there are a few stores with some of the hamsters in and some of the playsets but you can't order things to be delivered you have to go and collect, but it might be of use to someone :) (the site is smythstoys.com)
