LA Noire and Deus Ex ordered. Just need a bargain on Gears of War 3 now.
:-)

I might succumb to Zelda before the day is out too.

Must have missed LA Noire but I'll soon be hearing the gentle thud of Epic
Mickey, Monkey Ball 3D and Fable III on my doormat.

Thanks for the headsup I rarely go anywhere near Play these days since it's
nearly always cheaper and more convenient on Amazon.

I can't buy from Amazon any more, as they use HDN/Yodel and as a result I
don't get my items.

What's HDN/Yodel?
Amazon.co.uk is where I buy almost all my stuff these days. Very good
service overall I think. For such a high-profile popular retailer
they're surprisingly cheap & efficient and their customer service is
almost faultless (points lost only for making me surf through many
options before I could "Contact" them with a direct message instead of
having to select from a series of pointless pulldowns -they sorted my
problem immediately though once I did).

Well, the company they use for (some of, but there's no way of knowing)
their deliveries make it impossible to use them, as they're utterly,
utterly shit.

Case in point today, in fact. Wife ordered something from Halfords last
week. Turns out it's "delivered" by HDN. Chased it up today as it should
have been here by now. Tracking number says they put a card through the
door today. Lo - there is no card. HDN won't speak to us until we have the
reference number. Which is on the card.

Utter fucking cunts.

So that's Halfords we can't use now either.

This seems to be one of those rare cases where living in Ireland is
beneficial for online ordering then.

Most Amazon stuff here is sent from their Irish depot -not too far away
from me in fact... pity they have to send it on a 500 mile round-trip in
order to get it to me, but free shipping items do tend to arrive within
a couple of days so I'm not complaining. ...There is a 25euro (or so)
minimum purchase for free shipping qualification but I tend to save
things up before ordering so that's alright by me.

You should definitely contact Amazon and let them know you're not using
them because of this (if you haven't already). Everyone here in the UK
should -and get all your friends to do it too.

Bad service shouldn't just be ignored, it should be broadcasted. As
should good service -and I'm happy to do both.

We've contacted them more than 30 times, and signed a petition a few months
ago.
