I Just ordered a WII and payed less than UK RRP!

I know there are loads of threads about how to get a Wii.

Everyone was saying "Buy from Amazon germany" but I just looked at the site and couldn't understand anything.

I found this site and it takes you through step by step so give it a go

Go to: http://www.instockwii.co.uk/2007/11/04/wii-consoles-in-stock-at-amazon/

then go to: www.amazon.de

and start buying. in total the package was £175.98 thats £4 cheaper than buying it in UK, if you can find one in stock anywhere.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

    You may have to pay customs fees and import duty,i'm better with the US rules than EU though so don't know the limit before you start paying!

    There is no import or customs duty within the EU - That's the whole point of the EU.

    A colleague of mine ordered from amazon.de on monday and took delivery today!
  • ITS HERE!!!!

    I got home from dropping my son off at school, to find the DHL man standing on the doorstep, and he had a nice shinny Wii for me.

    The strange thing is, when i ordered the Wii from Germany (Amazon.de) I also ordered a game from amazon.co.uk. But i still haven't got the game yet. lol

    Goodluck to everyone still trying to order one.

    Regards

    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    I ordered from Amazon De as well... due for delivery this Friday....

    Unfortunately they seem to have put a stop to the UK orders http://www.instockwii.co.uk/2007/11/04/wii-consoles-in-stock-at-amazon/

    clearly no sale is a good sale to Amazon!
