HMV and shipping

Im about to order a PSP Go from them and just wondered if anyone has had any experience of ordering hardware from them.

Should i take free shipping?

or

Should i take special delivery(£6.90)

How long would the free shipping method take? Surely they'll send it special delivery anyhow seeing as its an expensive item. Is the £6.90 option just a way to get more money from me?

Have one ordered from play but getting fed up of waiting for it to be delivered and also i like the white one.

I pre-ordered one from HMV and selected Special Delivery, it arrived on launch day. I suppose it all depends on how quick you want it. I'm not sure how quick HMV's normal delivery is.

Re: HMV and shipping

What does it mean by 'Awaiting Stock Allocation'?

I ordered this last night in the hope they would ship it today.
