just got off the phone with HMV..this is showing as in stock on the website and available for shipping in 24hrs...
i knew something was up as i can still cancel and my order says "awaiting stock allocation"and has been for 2 days...
I have been informed that actually it is
NOT currently in stock...and is on order, which could be one to two weeks...
i was also informed that it is a real time website, and the information should be "accurate"..
I advised him that this obviously not the case, and is misleading the consumer, and can it be changed, he then suddenly said he couldnt get it changed as he had nothing to do with the website.
HMV have always been spot on and I have had a number of releases a week or so before release date...as of late, it seems that a few companies are struggling with demand...(tesco being another)..but the least we can expect is accurate information on what is supposed to be a "realtime" website...
and at the end of the day, its an old release, not avatar collectors edition????
i will hang in on this one though at that price...but anyone who ordered on or after 29/11/10...dont expect it anytime soon! and at this rate, anytime before xmas...
edit: actually looking back at the original post, i ordered on the day of the offer!!! so that makes it even worst! they have blantantly have mislead the consumer, unless they only had 2 copies in stock! just trying to reel in the xmas shoppers with a poor chance of getting it before christmas! this is very poor indeed by HMV..has anyone had theres shipped yet?
