Grrr. I ordered a secondhand Wii Fit online in August. It still hasn't arrived. The seller is in Canada, and shipped it Sept 2. The Canada Post Tracking page (which won't load now due to "Firefox can't find the server at www.canadapost.ca") hasn't updated since the item left Canada on Sept 4. I imagine it won't update once the item is in the US, but the seller originally said the item would take 4-6 business days to get here. It's been 11.
I'm also pissed at Nintendo for creating this false shortage. They *know* their items are in demand. It's not like they haven't had time to set up more manufacturing sites. Is it really ideal to let consumers pay more money to people reselling them, than to Nintendo? I've seen some on Ebay for upwards of $150. That's nearly twice the retail price! Of course, I refused to pay that much and maybe I'm going to get screwed because of it. Just my luck...
Not that I could use it today if it arrived, as I'm home sick with a very unhappy respiratory system. But I'm sick of waiting dammit.
[ Update ] The Wii Fit *just* came. The package is completely beat up and torn with holes in it, but the Wii Fit seems intact.
