my estimated ship date is the 20th (tomorrow). estimated arrival is the 7th of july thats 2 1/2 wks away..they must really over estimate arrival times

They do over estimate the times. I received my Mario Karts today from the last CC release. I got a shipping email on the 17th and they arrived today via USPS Priority Mail. It was free shipping, by the way.

I'll bet CC uses FEDEX Smartpost again to ship these. It took nearly 2 weeks to get my fits the last time they had them in.

Anyone having any luck with B&M Fits today? My Targets all are stocked up, but none are releasing.

I got one in. I didn't have time to update the quantity. Captista the program failed for some reason. It went into log in screen and then went to the place your order screen. I clicked place order and then it said an error occurred. I had another computer open and was able to place the single order.

Yes. I suggested yesterday that everybody check TRUs today and tomorrow. In my experience they have the Fits available when they open. Another TRU near me got Fits in today and I got 1 of them. It looked like they had less than 10.

You are really quick. The thing is it failed for me on the first computer, but went through on the second computer. Maybe, they didn't have 3 at the time it failed and I was able to get one in on the other. I was working two hands. The window that pops up in you program doesn't have a back button, so I couldn't go back and resubmit. The thing I hate the most about amazon is trying to get the cart to show 3. I hate placing single orders.

Well what I do is that I keep my password in the clipboard (I type it somewhere, highligth and do copy), then I'm ready and the the login window pops-up it is already prefilled with the email address I just have to 'paste' my password, hit 'enter' (forget the mouse :lol: ) and while the page is loading my hand goes back to the mouse looking for the button to click and baam!!! at least one in :).. and because the cart is already pre-loaded with 3 I do not have to worry about quantity.

Today at least I put the refreshing time so at least you can look at the window and make sure it is alive, I'll work on that and on finding out how to maximize the connections so we don't get the maximum connections error.

Amazon was loading slow. not your app. I like the refresh now. it makes it easier to just refresh that window so another one pops up.

My other comments, were just suggestions =)

great work on your little checker though. definately the reason why I was able to get an order in.

Now that I've purchased my first-ever wii and wii fit from ebay through the 35% deal Monday, I'm amazed to compare how I treat my buyers with how I've been treated! OK, I haven't exactly been treated badly, just kind of no response from sellers. No emails, no follow-up shipping or tracking details, and no items have arrived....many of mine are 2-day deliveries with fedex ground. So pats on the back to me for being such a good ebay seller...goodness knows that ebay isn't going to give me any of those pats - better get 'em myself...

Wii - on at 12:36:20 - off at 12:38:53 (2 minutes, 33 seconds)
PS3 80GB MG - on at 13:42:55 - off at 13:44:05 (1 minute, 10 seconds)

Ok, now that the heat is officially off for Amazon day here are the timestamps captured for today's availability:

Wii Fit - on at 12:00:20 - off at 12:01:40 (1 minute, 20 seconds)
Wii - on at 12:36:20 - off at 12:38:53 (2 minutes, 33 seconds)
PS3 80GB MG - on at 13:42:55 - off at 13:44:05 (1 minute, 10 seconds)

I'm actually surprised of seeing PS3 beating Wii .. it is either the inventory is much less or we are following the wrong product :lol:

The PS3 is a limited item, there's only so many being made so I wouldn't be surprised at all.

How many of us are requiring signatures on Wii Fit? It'd be a no-brainer if they were only worth $100, but get a chargeback, and you're screwed the shipped price. Well, just curious...

Paypal SPP doesn't require a sig, so I don't see any reason to get one. Sold a PSP a few months ago, Paypal let me know the buyer's bank reversed the payment after I had shipped it out (no sig required), and there wasn't an issue. Paypal just ate the cost since I followed their SPP.

I ordered 10 from CC today. 5 got charged, I got 4 confirmation emails, I 5 got cancellation emails, and so far 1 has shipped. I am anxiously awaiting the status of the fifth charged order.

Just now received shipping confirms for the CC Fits this morning. Sadly they are SmartPost. Hopefully get them before July.

My postman will be happy. Last time he had to deliver 21. Only 4 this time.

Kind of off topic...

Where are you guys storing product? At any one time I can have 20 wiis at the house with all this hunting. Add that to Wii Fits and other inventory and it's pretty costly.

Have you guys taken any precautions? My UPS and Fedex guys ask alot of questions. Once I had to tell one to mind his own dam business.

I don't want this stuff to walk when I'm not home. Any ideas?

Now that I've purchased my first-ever wii and wii fit from ebay through the 35% deal Monday, I'm amazed to compare how I treat my buyers with how I've been treated! OK, I haven't exactly been treated badly, just kind of no response from sellers. No emails, no follow-up shipping or tracking details, and no items have arrived....many of mine are 2-day deliveries with fedex ground. So pats on the back to me for being such a good ebay seller...goodness knows that ebay isn't going to give me any of those pats - better get 'em myself...

No better way of knowing how a buyer feels than being a buyer myself. Some resellers throw fits if a buyer asks them to confirm that the Wii is infact new. Someone spending $300 has the right to do so :) I gladly asnwer such questions.

Yeah on target.com there is no limit, but 1 per order and you get 10% off using the code.

i was able to order 3 wiis, but the target wii fits kept changing the quantity available from 1 to 0 and a big red message showed up. It happened on every account I tried. I didnt think amazon controlled supply of target, and even if you had order wiifits from amazon via amazon wii fits, buying wii fits from target or any other buyer shouldnt be a problem. It was the error you get if you try to order 3 more wii fits on an account that you have just ordered 3 fits on. maybe they blocked my address or ip

amazon supply is just down. No way demand is greater than it was around Christmas time.

Considering every other b m retailer does not have supply down it makes no sense amazon should be the only with less supply.I would guess that a couple of huge sellers are running some sort of computer programs to automatically order tons of wiis.Ticketmaster once said that 90% of their hits on hard to find tickets are coming from a handfull of ticket brokers that have huge computer power and can each hit their site with thousands of hits at the same time.I believe the same thing is happening on amazon but on a smaller scale.

and then "Well, i dont know about you, but i gotta eat dinner like normal people, I can't buy it right now. how about I call you in an hour then I can go see it and look at it?"

Ok so i wait. Of course no call.

WTH. How do you deal with these people...

I hate to say it but people are idiots. Most of the people I deal with on Cl know what they are doing. Every once in a while you run in to that one idiot that makes you wonder how they made it to be an adult. Do they have no common sense? Are they really that dumb, but make enough money to drive a Mercedes? How do half of these people function on a every day basis? I'm sorry I just went on a rant about some of the morons I have to deal with!

Target Ad for June 22 (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=276969&t=846537&highlight=target)


Three Targets around me show stock. Went into one this morning and they were not out on display. Asked a clerk about them and she said she was not sure what her manager was going to do with the ones they had. Manager came by and looked me in they eye and said they do not have them in stock. They are holding them for somethingI suppose. Didn't see them in this weeks ad.

I think if you have an eBay store, then you can offer % off.I was just checking out some auctions and noticed one had a "12% off" logo on the main picture for the auction.. The logo is typically where you would see the "Free shipping" logo.

I have never seen this, how do you offer 12% off in the auction or is this some sort of program for buyers?

probably just a store listing. I'm pretty sure you can do that kind of thing in there.

Another thing you can do is have them scan the DPCI on the display case or go up to CS and give it to them to check for inventory.. In my area (SF Bay Area), if they are getting them in the stores they are not checking them into stock.. That would be weird because almost all stores show availability for Wii but they are in the back.. Following that logic, the same *should* be true for fits but all stores show OOS.

I think if you have an eBay store, then you can offer % off.

That must be it.. Guy is trying to kill Kart market selling them with a wheel for that price..

I think a lot of people got it. It gave an error message after selecting place your order. I got it twice today. It cost me 3 Wii and 3 Wii Fits.

Do you remember what the error message said? I'm just curious, was it because they had run out of stock (were you able to add more to your cart after that point, or not)?

Best way is to keep it email only. Yes, it's not optimum for business but it will weed out such moments and also will be less stress IMO. It all depends on how important it is for you to sell the most consoles vs. emotional toll of such reseller experiences. It's still a problem when someone wastes your time and energy. Perhaps, as soon as you get an attitude, you should walk away, not worth dealing with the morons. Most buyers are still normal decent people who trust us without knowing us, someone could easily con them for a defective unit or so. The morons are usually rare.

No, I don't remember exactly. Instead of the confirmation screen coming up an error message popped up. I was able to add more to my cart and actually bought one Wii Fit using a different account. I hope it was just a glitch. It was just weird that it happened twice on the same account (prime).

Thankyou.

There are 2 good choices : 15x10x8 or 16x12x8, one obviously being more Vertical.
If you sell Consoles Only too, I would get the 15x10x8 as you can use it for both pretty easily. I, myself, have been converted to the 16x12x8 for the 14/4 bundles as the weight seems better distributed and visibly to my customers, I think it looks more like a box a bundle would come in .... but either will be fine ! Maybe see which one is cheaper:D

Just saw Wii Fit part - ha ha Your only choice then is the 24x12x8 or in a pinch, I have used 2 of the 24x12x4, one inverted of course but that is more expensive but I didn't want to buy 2 Wii fit boxes !

Yeah, or even as far as I know, a week day shipment !!! Maybe Nintendo is mad at them;)

Btw, I FINALLY got Ship Email from CC - for 3 !!! I think/hope I might have 1 or 2 more orders that didn't get cancelled - can't remember all the emails I used

Called a few Targets. They are in total denial of having the Wii Fits. Liars. Even denied that theyd have them Sunday. Really the denials are a good thing. The regular customer will quit after one phone call. Now if they are holding for the following Sunday..who knows?

Was the samsclub alert bogus?

I had Circuit city call me about the cancelled order and wanted to see if I wanted to re-place it. I tried..but didngt work since they are out.

Hey! Congrats!.. I'm also in my way to become .. hopefully by the end of the month I should meet my FB score which is my only missing milestone :) .. then what? is it automatic? will have to wait for some kind of invitation? I can't wait .. to see better profits :)

I'm wondering this, too. This week I just blew by the 3-month requirements to get the status of Bronze powerseller. Do I just have to wait on ebay to evaluate me again, or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks caspita... you guys can send an email to powersellerinfo@ebay.com and ask them... I'm sure if you have 100 fdbks, you can easily qualify for the other requirements.

Delayed report here...

TRU yesterday for FIT's.. they actually lasted until 4PM
I would check TRU today, not all the stores got them yesterday.. those who did not should have them today.

GS had FIT's too, very, very limited quantities. they are saying next tuesday should be the "next" mini release (no more than 4 per store). this is based on the fact they (the stores) have notice of the items shipping today

Targets... all in denial, I even got a red shirt to look at the in-store checker where it say's in back room and he looked at me and said "I swear they are not back there!".

BB has FIT's as well, they are hoarding too...

CC has Mario Karts in the store(s), most stores got 5-9 per store. No Fit's, no idea when they will have them either.

Picked up 3 at TRU near me yesterday. 2 at GS. 1 this morning at a Best Buy grand opening. There were no vouchers, so there was a mad rush to the video game section. Luckily I am young and quick, and made it back there. But, the 12 they had were gone in about 15 seconds. The craze has hit hard.

Mixed reports on Targets whether they will be released 22nd or 29th. Hopefully both :)

Am reporting from the BB/TRU parking lot on Butterfield RD (Downers Grove, IL) - I was in the neighborhood and checked TRU - Confirmed they got Wii consoles but NOT fits. NONE in BB. Seems like a lot of CS reps are getting confused when you call as John called re: Fits and they told him they got in a shipment today but it was for consoles. kinda mad as I could of been getting a badly needed pedicure for my FL trip instead !

Good News is got 4th Ship confirmation from CC for fits.

some ppl have 6% ebay bucks and some 10% too ;) ;)

however, not everyone knows about

1) ebay bucks (or cant qualify/wasn't invited)
2) 10% coupon YMMV...few accounts got it
3) few ppl know about live cashback

Mine are coming from Texas. Anyone else check their fedex tracking and see reference is "joejoe"? Is joejoe the guy who packaged it up for me? Poor joejoe... what a long day for him at the CC warehouse.

btw, i guess joejoe is back on the job! i just got another ship notice....so that's 3 shipped out of 4 orders with confirmation emails :woot:

those might be temp charges that will go away in a few days. CC is horrible. The customer service both in India and US are dumba**es. They won't do anything and always promise to call you back which they never do. I had to file a dispute with my cc when they lost 2 of my Wii shipments a few months ago. I said I would never shop there again, but then, the free shipping on the Wii Fits are just too hard to refuse. FedEx Smartpost is also not very reliable for me either.
