Next time somebody spots stock at a business site eg BT business, PCWB, Equanet etc, can somebody please send me an email and I will gladly order 20 for you guys.

Oh and do that before you put it up on this forum and HDUK and the site goes into meltdown ;)

is that 100% as people on hotdeals being told all the time by the sales rep (including me) that their orders will go through.

not saying your wrong but you hear so many things from different people

the other states

Order Number
700XXXXX / Unavailable

So looks like the 16gb is going through and the 32 is not.

Purposely went for the 16 first as i suspected most would go for the 32gb's first leaving me more of a chance with the 16gb....

That's what I'm staring at unfortunately

PCWB just phoned to confirm Business Address, touchpad on the way. :o

She says will not ship to home address or order will be cancelled.

That's seems a bit unfair on self employed, or small business customers who do actually work from home... or perhaps you can actually use the same addres for both?
 
Our business has ordered a few times from PCWB before.

Probably checks for past order history, or company account.
 
Christ, this is what I hate about this, so many different stories..

if you beleive all

32gb orders getting cancelled

Phone calls being received just to confirm address, not to check is a business holder...

others getting the "you are not a business call"

Sounds about right. 32gb appear to have sold out in minutes yet people were still getting orders in after 8.35am and accepted so they will not get one as they were out of stock when the order was placed (although some of those earlier orders may have since been cancelled and then the stock allocated to legimate later orders)

Some people getting phone calls to confirm address but they appear to all be legimate business customers so far.......

Other people now getting phone calls/emails telling them their orders are cancelled as they are not a business.

Managed to get an order in this morning.
Still sat at processing with an expected shipping date of today.

Called PCWB and they said as the account is less than 24hours old, I can not place an order (despite the fact it let me etc) and therefore my order will not go through.

:(

Don't feel so bad about my porridge now. :p Bad luck about it being businesses only, though!

In case anyone does manage to get a bunch via business channels, I'd like to officially add my name to the list of interested parties. :)

EDIT: 32 GiB, ideally.

Just found out that my colleague (in the IT department) has a business account with PCWB and has done for about 6 years. I'm away to call.
