Zavvi + code + console = disappointment

Just received my shipping notification.

The Minecraft bundle is in stock and being dispatched, so hopefully our's won't be far behind.

Well he said the order is confirmed and wont be cancelled but im really not too keen on this anymore. Pretty much getting a One S + BF1 for £190 which is great but the elite for £199.99 just seems to be the better deal as an upgrade for £30.

i would get the new one entirely because the fact you can depend on argos for warranty. + nothing beats getting a new elite controller lol.

ive never bought used consoles mainly due to ocd.

Help me out - used 1tb for £130 (after trading the games) or new 1tb elite (keeping the controller) for £185 after trading the division and spending the £10 voucher as I would spend a tenner in argos anyway?

to be honest im much better off buying the elite since it's theres not too much of a hardware upgrade, i don't watch films or anything like that. The 1 single thing i wanted was vertical standing. But since everyone is complaining about the one s making annoying noises I think ill go with the elite since it's whisper quite.

Nothing to stop them saying "sure it's fine" and then have their supplier pull the plug on the deal. Maybe buy the elite now and keep it sealed for a few days and return it if the zavvi order gets dispatched?

hold your horses,

"Thank you for getting in touch to ask about the estimated dispatch of Xbox One S 500GB with Battlefield 1 , Forza Horizon 3 & Fallout 4.

I am really sorry that this has not yet been dispatched. This item is on special order for you with our supplier but at this time they are unable to give me a date for when they will have it back in stock.

You can check the status of your order at any time by logging into your account and following the prompts. Once your order has been sent you will receive an e-mail to tell you it is on its way."

I've asked them if it is 100% confirmed or will it be cancelled for whatever reason, waiting for a response. If it they say it could get cancelled then im just gonna get the elite for £199.99.

Yeah safe to assume zavvi are just ignoring orders... I too have reserved an elite at argos today, 210 including the division but also get a £10 voucher. I'm possibly buying a used 1tb with about £40s worth of games for £170 but not sure what to go for at the minute. That brand new elite or the 1tb used, it has a dark bezel so is a newer version.

so this probably isn't happening lol. no movement of funds + contact from zavvi. Managed to reserve an elite for £199.99 though, and got £170 for my old one so you think I should get that as an upgrade for 30 quid?

I wanted the one s because of the ability to have it vertical, but hear it has noise problems.

It's the fact they haven't placed a hold on the funds tells me this isn't going to happen. Oh well Black Friday it'll be then, unless an elite pops up for £150 before then...

True. We never know what's happening when.. This deal was excellent if only I had received my item by now.

Can't say b.ugger on here then... The more you know...

Looks like the xbox one deals have dried up, most are out of stock. **** as I've bought 2 games for a system I don't yet own... I'll just stare at the discs and imagine what's happening.

Yes exactly. Nothing to lose anyways. Money is not taken so I won't bother much.. The more it delays the more I don't need this.. Better deals coming out everyday :smiley:

Seems it's just an email form that you can use. I can't see a phone number anywhere, doesn't seem to be any type of live chat either.

There is no chat/ telephone number to contact :disappointed:

I used same I'd and created another account. But the order is not showing up. Will give a ring and see. Thanks

I would say register again using that email and see if the order is attached after re-registering. Unfortunately I suspect the chances of that actually working are around 0. Speak to customer services, must have a live chat/email/phone line to use.

Still no money taken from account. Not able to open my zaavi account. My email id is not recognized either. :disappointed:

They're waiting for stock. Presumably they are expecting some soon as this is now one of their 48 hour Lightning Deals (at £249.99)

Well to be honest I'm happy paying £249.99 if they offer that instead of cancelling outright. It's worth holding on tbh unless you need the £229 urgently.

No movement yet, still showing as processing awaiting stock pick. I'm thinking of just cancelling it to be honest...

Any order update guys? The money hasn't been taken from my bank account yet..

Yeah i guess i should do it.. Thanks Richie..

Mines fine. Still got awaiting stock pick

I'm not able to log into my account. my email id not registered now.. :disappointed:

Cheers rich black Friday it is then mate

wow, if this order of mine cancels then I'll happily take the minecraft one for under £200.

Cheers rich wanted 2 for Xmas aswell gutted

code being rejected no longer hot

If they reject order how quick you normally find this out?

Looks like the code has been deactivated. Good luck those who placed orders, fingers crossed and all that :-)

Anyone know when the code expired please?

if it comes it comes if not i have lost nothing worth a go if you ask me

I got a good feeling this will work and if not, I'll have the chance to debate the meaning of a "general discount code"! :sunglasses:

People do realise that this is out of stock right......"Stock will be despatched to you as soon as we receive it from our supplier"........who knows when they will be availble, i waited over 2 months on stuff that was waiting from suppliers, Zavvi will known for this........just letting people know.

code worked for me just awaiting cancelled message but might never happen haha

Finished at 7

Getting "The discount code you entered is not an active offer."

On the mobile site.

It's coming up with £245 for me with the discount. Hmm.

A complete waste of time and space. This is what I received when I requested a next day delivery from a do not reply e-mail address. Total baloney "Please ensure your name and address are clearly legible and that any sensitive data is hidden then send this evidence as an attachment through the message centre by clicking on the upload file button and browsing for your document".

In all fairness, one could argue this sign up code isn't a general discount code.

I remember the last zavvi code on a console deal, I swore blind they would cancel, even told people in the comments. They didn't... Check the comments after when people got dispatch emails, man I felt like a tool... :-/

Will update you on this.. placed an order. Fingers crossed.

Not on the list = deal. I've got you now zavvi! Or just wait until I get the dispatch/cancellation email... Oh well worth a shot (that's gotta be at least 3 or 4 on the bingo now).

In hindsight I spoke too soon, good thing I didn't submit.

This is clearly gonna get cancelled lol. Begs the question why allow it to work in the first place though!

But as Turk pointed out that's their get out of jail free card.. The biggest concern is the item is not in stock it's in dispatch when they receive stock from their supplier.

Generally cancel, worth a try though. Zavvi get a bad rep because they cancel orders and people get mad. To be fair on them it is in the T&Cs that codes are excluded from consoles.

Lol hopefully they accept it. Just checked on the exclusion list and I can't see it in there so it's a start lol: http://www.zavvi.com/offers/exclusions.list

But won't they honor the deal once we pay and purchase the item on using the code? Or they cancel the order?

Hey at least they accepted the code this time! And you never know they do occasionally accept codes on consoles.

Zavvi + code + console = disappointment

Excellent deal OP :smiley:

Holy crap nice one OP, got 2!
