Ordering a Wii from the UK. Is it possible?
23 11 2007It seems that the German websites, have either ran out of Wiis’s, or don’t deliver to the UK.
The UK does seem to be getting a trickle of Wii consoles in.
So, these are my suggestions
1. I would keep an eye on the Amazon.co.uk widget on the sidebar of this blog. You may be lucky by hitting in when they are in stock, or keep refreshing!!! Or you may find one cheap on the Amazon.co.uk marketplace
2. I’ve added links to most of the major retailers in the UK below here, on some you can register to be informed when the Wii’s are in stock. Some are bundle packages, some are the consoles by themselves!! All of the links take you straight to the relevant pages on the websites:
3. A number have people have commented that some sellers on Ebay from elsewhere in Europe may be selling wii’s at a cheaper price than the obscene amounts that the UK based sellers are asking. The link below is for a powerseller from Germany that is selling a Wii for £208 + £29.99 delivery. Could be worth a look
4. Some mobile phone retailers are offering a Wii as a free gift if you buy a contract phone. The price will vary depending on which phone or tariff you buy. If you are needing a new mobile, then this could be a option for you.
5. If you manage to find a site with a Wii, there is every chance that many people will be frantically typing in their details at the same time as you. (This is especially true with Amazon.co.uk) So to stay ahead of the crowd I would download the Google Toolbar.
This has an autofill feature that will store your name, address, credit card details etc, all securely on your computer. Then with a click of a button all of your details are filled in!! Brilliant!
It is a free utility, that is a part of the Google Pack that is easy to install on Internet Explorer. Click on the widgets on the sidebar to either download the Google Pack on it’s own. Or download the excellent Mozilla Firefox that already has the Google Toolbar installed.
Hope you can get a Wii before Christmas
