One in bootle argos - just looked - could reserve and collect

I am really starting to get fed up know. Cancelled my order with the muppets and took the safe option and ordered with John Lewis who were due to deliver with 1 week. Just checked my order and it now says that the stock is two weeks away. Not happy. Will be contacting them about this delay.

There seem to be all kinds random quantities and dates about Maplin and their stock status of Humax Foxsat HDR.

We have been in contact with Maplin and they would like to assure everyone that they are in constant contact with the supplier to try and maximise the size and decrease the timescale of their order to fulfil all back orders as soon as possible. Maplin said "All customers will receive their orders as soon as we can possibly get them out."

We already know that Maplin have delivered many Humax Foxsat HDR boxes to customers and you can save up to £25 off your order if you simply add another item to your basket to take the order over £300. Just signup for the Maplin newsletter to receive your unique discount code.

Good Luck,

I have been checking the posts by 'Simon' and so far he has ordered from Superfi but then cancelled and then placed and order from Maplin.

Then ordered from Comet to give them one more chance, which indicated that he has ordered one from here at some point.

His Maplin order arrived on the 22nd that was ordered on the 8th. On the 23rd he his hopefull that his order will be dispatched? Sorry, didn't you just get it on the 22nd.

He then cancelled this order with Maplin and then pre-ordered with John Lewis. But wait, John Lewis have just emailed him to say that it will be two weeks not one.... to be continued....

It seems that 'Simon' is always the one who has phoned Maplin and been given the random delivery figures that have been posted on this site. He is trying to lead us all up the garden path and I'm sure if the admin checks the logs that all these posts will come from the same ISP.

Not sure what Keith is on about, this site is about PVR availability not having a go at other customers. I have previously contacted Maplin and the information Simon gave was correct. The post by Admin above says nothing other than Maplin will do their best - which in my opinion is not good enough.

Keith, not sure what your issue is? If you are referring to my post at 7:43am, then you are way off the mark, in fact you are completetly wrong.
I am not sure whether there is another Simon psoting to this forum (but just in case there is I am now using writing under Simon G).
I can assure you that I placed an order about 2 weeks ago with Maplin, which I cancelled on Friday, due to a March 16th delivery date. I then pre-ordered with John Lewis. I have not had any involvement with Comet who superhifi (whoever they are).
So please get your facts right before you start making accusations. Check the logs as much as you like.
I am just one of many people who is trying to get their hands on one of these machines and being continually frustrated. I don't need to be frustrated even more by somebody like you.

Please calm down and lets get back to what this site is all about. The availability of the Humax Foxsat HDR.

We have left this comment system as open as possible to allow anyone to post whatever they like, within reason. With this is mind you are requested to make up your own minds regarding the reliability of all posts.

We can tell you that there is more than one person posting by the name of Simon so please bear this in mind when making assumptions. Not all posts in the name of Simon are made by the same person.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued contributions and support for this site.

is this site for real

surely if you contact the manufacturer you will be able to get all the information you require, i have seen no problems getting hold of the new humax pvr and will be waiting for a few weeks prior to purcaasing any freesat pvr by which time no doubt they will be a fraction of the price

I do tend to agree with Paul that Maplin may say they're doing all they can (they make a lot of claims that don't hold up)but their customer service is not good enough.
They are still guilty of suckering many customers into pre-orders with hopelessly optimistic(deliberately misleading??) in stock dates after which delivery date can fluctuate wildly. For goodness sake, they're still showing in stock in 14 days when they're actually saying next delivery on March 16th!!! Yes they are the cheapest (with the voucher) but you have to sit there very patiently for an indeterminate period. I can only surmise that they're cynically expecting that the majority will just hang on and not go elsewhere.
