This is the American Rakuten so the British might not have it. God dammit.
PixelElectronics has scammed some people so be careful.

Thanks. I won't be biting. It was the Mario Maker option with them I was going to go for (£250 before discount, which you can only use if you are a member).

PE is likely a one-man job so that explains the lack of quality customer service and that it's 50/50 how the item gets to the buyer.
Whats this about scams? I'm awaiting a delivery of a preivious Wii U bundle from Pixel Electronics, and hoping for a Christmas delivery, but getting worried as nothing arrived and no delivery email etc.

Previous buyers tried to get a refund but since he doesn't reply nor Rakuten seems interested in protecting their customers they're left to chance. Just go through his feedback and you'll see.
Alza isn't allowed but PixelElectronics deals are. *smh*

Unhappy customers:
Admittedly if it comes to the worst, then contact your bank since this dodgy seller isn't able to keep his word.

I think the Pixel Electronic deals say more about Ratuken than anything else to be honest. They just turn a blind eye to such sellers and don't Police their own site. Amazon at least do things right in terms of their customers and website users.

Do you recall how many units it said were in stock?

I'm pretty sure I saw a quantity of 15. There had been one in my basket for about 15 mins prior to that.

OP, You had good intentions and genuinely wanted to post a good deal, so don't worry about it. We have seen a regular flow of about 2 of these Pixel Electronics deals every week for the last 6 months now. It is easy HEAT, but it should really be balanced with all the right information being given so people know the risks.
Also it might seem obvious to most, but many don't even realise its a EURO unit and what that means is its a EU plug fitting and not a UK plug fitting, so it requires an adaptor.

It's not your fault, fella. Just typical of PixelElectronics that oddly enough HUKD hasn't banned which they should because he's not a good seller. A good seller would interact with his clients when needed and be helpful but PE does not.
Dunno why Rakuten UK hasn't added Paypal as a payment method because if they did buyers would feel mor secure knowing they'd have Paypal's protection.

ordered mine from PE in October, was fast answering questions and console arrived before due date, personally couldn't have asked for more.

No phone number. Thankfully you can use Paypal against him if necessary. -- Apparently only for the US Rakuten @ http://www.rakuten.com/help/content/159
