I've been thinking about that even though I posted earlier, and I think that instead of being 'unsolicited goods', these are actually 'not as described' - you did place an order, so you were expecting some goods... just these are not the goods you wanted.

This is the Citizens Advice page on that subject.

One thing it doesn't address, though, is whether - if you wish - you can keep those goods anyway. It certainly doesn't say that a company has the right to demand an exchange, though!
 
I'll quote the important part:

You have no obligation to return the goods to the trader or allow the trader to collect the goods. However, it would be reasonable for you to contact the trader to explain what has happened and give them a chance to collect the goods from you.

I'm not saying refusing to return them is morally correct, BUT they have no right in demanding them to be returned and certainly should not be harrassing people for them to be returned.
 
I am really regretting not picking up the wii u + nsmb & nsml bundle that was £199.99 last week. At the time I wasn't certain I wanted one, by now I am certain but there is nothing that holds a candle to that deal at the minute. Hopefully something comes up before Christmas, surely it will.

With the recent news about both the PS4 and Xbone surpassing the Wii U's lifetime sales in the UK within days/weeks, and with SM3DW being outsold by freakin' Knack, I can't see the Wii U sticking at its current price point much longer. The strategy of adding value through bundled games has failed miserably, so it's a choice between slashing the price or just letting it die as far as the UK market goes.
 
The Hut impressed me on my last order.

Used a 15% discount code that should not have worked on pre-orders, they didn't cancel my Bravely Default order (£30). Then it arrived after one week. Considering we have had piss poor weather with snow storms, I can't really complaint.

Used the same code and yep, had it arrive 2 days before release date. Doesn't get much better than that.
 
£5 off £25 on Amazon

Code: 5OFF25PC

It works! (I tried on Games and Blu-ray)

II believe so,,,,

I have gone as far as can without fully placing this order and it seems to work

Yeh I think it does, decided to get £25 Xbox Live gift cards for £20 instead though as I have ton of amazon credit and if you apply the voucher you have to use your credit on it.

Thanks for posting though.
 
Can the code be used only once? I bought Bravely Default with 5 pounds off, but I'm unable to use it for other purchases (books, videogames)
 
Hm, with that code I could get Dark Souls II Black Armour Edition (PC) for roughly £31 (since living in Germany, shipping costs, etc.).

I have it preordered for £24 on zavvi though.

So, is it worth the additional £7 to get it faster? I'm not sure.
 
I guess it saves the effort of having to update the price to equal system + 3 games.

Edit: Why don't Amazon sell eShop cards...they've pre-orders of a new (scrapped?) design for months.

If you mean the "Luigi " design eshop card, they're actually not scrapped. I've bought cards with that design from game (instore) before.

I just don't think Amazon are ever going to get eshop cards.
 
Wow, an actual amazon code. Never thought I'd see that.
 
Added a £0.01 Vodafone SIM card to my FFX/X-2 Limited Edition order to get it for £20.

Gonna keep my original order for it on there for now in case it falls through, though...

Cheers for the suggestion, I've got the same set up as yourself now!

So that means Amazon will end up spending more on the postage and packing to get the Sim in the next few days than what I paid for it....haha.
 
Looks like the codes expired or doesn't work for me on that FFX/sim trick :(

Edit: It hasn't expired but it doesn't work with the sim card. How did you guys get it to work?

Edit: I picked a different sim and it worked lol

Glad it's working, though I did have trouble myself. Can't get it working on anything else at all now.
 
Damn, the discount code doesn't work on books. Had to order even more Blu-rays. I have probably some 3000 hours of movies to watch during Christmas. And I thought my Steam backlog was bad...

Oh and thanks for the code. Might have missed it if it wasn't posted here.
 
I figured they'd start flexing their muscles on this, so I owned up and mine's being collected today. Hate having to do it though, and it doesn't help that my honesty is being 'rewarded' with nothing more than a refund for a game that I should have received weeks ago.

Zavvi huh, what a bunch of jokers. They won't be getting any more orders from me.

Did you sign a delivery receipt? Which is to say, could they have proved you actually received it? They wouldn't open legal proceedings for something like this, because it costs a couple hundred pounds to take something to small claims court. They're hoping and assuming people will be scared by vague legal threats and agree to return the consoles.
