    Has anyone had a phonecall this am from Vikingdirect Re Wii play orders?

    They've left a message and I was wondering what it could be about :confused:
    I'd just like to know before I phone them back lol

    No phone call and no order delivered either. I ordered one last week and haven't heard a thing.
    Let us know what the call's about when you've called them back.
    Cheers
  • I think they are ripping people off they have put up their delivery price,I ordered one with a package and it cost £4.95 delivery about 2 weeks ago.
    RRP I can source games cheaper (ones that I actually want) cheaper online.

    I have bought Wii games and accesories for well under the £170 they are charging(£350 -£180 console = £170) they are making you pay over the odds for the games and not giving you the choice of what extras to buy.
    I wouldn't want the add ons they were packaging together.

    Then when Amazon have free delivery they charge an inflated £9.95.
    Did I mention I couldn't get any (valid)codes to work.

    Dixons hang your head in shame.

    i've had my wii for 3 months now and have only just bought another game
    wii sports kept us entertained for that time

    Me too - it's the one game that makes the Wii really special. If you want to play PS2-type games then buy a PS2!
    Can I help?

    For example poster ' hopefulfooluk ' intruiges me. To drive from Oxford to France just to buy Wiis (several times apparently), yet in an exchange with another poster stated "every quarter (I give), HMCE's VAT more than I could ever imagine earning selling Wii's over a whole year". If, in their other life, they are making so much money that they have to give loads to the VAT, why the hell would they indulge in such an escapade, unless they are being coy about how much is to be made here. (Not picking on you in particular by the way, just extremely intrigued that on one hand you go to all this effort, and on the other claim that it is not really profiable!?)Anybody have the cahones to be honest ?

    I'm not saying it's not profitable otherwise I wouldn't have done it. I have also only been over once - I'm not sure where you got the several times idea from, but I saw the opportunity to make a few quid from having a day trip to France and I took it.

    Every little helps regardless of whether you are absolutely minted or on the breadline (I am neither, by the way) so yes ok to be honest here is my statement:

    Yes I have bought Wiis for profit so I can make some money.

    Satisfied now?! The only reason I didn't say this in black and white before is because I think it probably just annoys people on here, and most people have the common sense to see what some posters like me are doing, and why we are doing it.

    Cheers

    Chris
