Can someone tell me how long it usually takes. I ordered a USB Microphone 3 days ago and it still says its packing on the website. Some people told me the website isnt updated much but yeah, any idea when it'll come.

[Recursion]

If its been on packing for 3 days I'd give them a call.

Usually when I order stuff from them it goes from Order Received > Dispatched in a few hours (if you order before 5pm or something), then the post takes ~2 days to arrive with it

[Bewilcorp]

Wait a week. Then call.

I'm guessing it will be travelling by plane to get over to Ireland? Eyjafjallajokull.

Play are terrible.

[The Professor]

Play are terrible.

Wrong. I've never had a bad experience with play and I've easily made 20+ orders with them.

[Swastika]

I usually never have no problems with play, email them or something?

[Catzsy]

Never had a problem with Play at all but if it says '3 days packing' I would definitely email them.

[Meanies]

i've ordered loads off play and have never had problems

give them an email to see what they have to say. could be the volcano stuff and aeroplanes like someone said

[Black_Apalachi]

Same. Usually the cheapest prices as well.

[Alexx..]

Play are terrible.

wrongg, they're cheap and quick delivery(usually). how is that terrible?

[Misawa]

Delivery for me is always 4-5 days. I'd rather pay £1.50 delivery for a DVD on Amazon, who are actually cheaper for the most part, to get it in 2 days, or even the free delivery which often comes in 2 days also. Do a home entertainment price compare and Amazon are always the cheapest.

[xzl.]

I think you should wait at least 5 days, I had the same issue as you and on the 5th day I received it :)

[Judas]

ive been using play.com for about 2 years now and i have never ever had a problem with them :S

[Alexx..]

If the play.com office things are in England, i'm guessing they'll be shipping stuff out by plane and planes aren't flying so that might be why.

[Misawa]

Planes? No.

[Alexx..]

Planes? No.

Boat? I don't know I don't work for anything that ships -.- but if it did, he'd be screwed for another week or so.

[Misawa]

Yes, boat.

[Jam]

Guernsey.

[lazerman]

***, they not gonna ship it by boat rofl?

Its the planes, as you know UK is no air zone....

Give it a week or so,

[Misawa]

Mail from UK to Ireland is predominantly done by boat.

[Oleh]

Seeing as play is situated in jersey (small island just off the coast of france) im guessing itll be by boat

I only had one major hiccup with them and i think it was operation flashpoint, i ordered it, 3 week later it had come

[Hecktix]

Mail from UK to Ireland is predominantly done by boat.

If play shipped their orders from Jersey by boat then their delivery times would be nowhere near what they are now, which is 2-5 days, only common exception is if something goes out of stock but then they contact you.

So yes, Paul, I'd be pretty sure that your problem is airspace closure, all airspace in southern england is closed, so the planes can't fly in, so your item is probably still sat in Jersey, obviously it'll cause a backlog too so you could be waiting a week or two.

[Tintinnabulate]

I was laughing at the closure of UK airspace till I realised that something I ordered from Holland is stuck in err Holland.

love this!

[PaulMacC]

It was shipped yesterday, no idea when it will come.

[Jonster]

Had one bad run in with Play but on the whole its usually a good server. I had ordered a game and what happened to it I do not know but after 3-4 weeks waiting as requested by Play I then listed it as undelivered and the next day a new one had been dispatched and arrived swiftly. I'm guessing it had been lost in the post which isn't Plays fault at all.
