Well it has happened a few times the last day or two, where I send out alerts because I see stock available, but when in reality it looks as though there is nothing. Here is what I see:

Clearly this shows Wii’s as available. I am going to leave the ones I track at Target live, but I can not guarantee stock will be available by the time you get to the site. I know it can be frustrating see the alerts and jumping on only to see no stock available, and it makes my tracker seem like it is not working. If this continues, I may end up just removing Target all together. It appears they are floating just like at Toys R Us and Sears, just not as frequently.

If you are experiencing delayed email deliveries, I HIGHLY suggest that you subscribe to my Google Group: NowInStockWiis. The emails from the group appear to be coming in really quick, like mine used too.  This does not apply to other products, just the Wii’s for now.

The delays are not on my end, but on most email providers. I have been targeted as SPAM recently. Yahoo is delaying my emails for 1 hour plus. AOL and EarthLink had me banned, but I think I may have had those lifted. I also believe Hotmail is doing the same thing.

Yes, Kmart has/had Wii’s In Stock!

And, I guess they didn’t have many. I will wait a little longer before I remove it from the tracker. Kmart being owned by Sears runs the same type of website… inventory issues.

7:48 – I guess they are proactive on the Kmart Team. Page is shut down already, I will leave it in the tracker.

I really hope everyone got their alerts in time. I was just out at lunch when I got a mobile alert. My friend had his Motorola Q so we jumped on a checked and sure enough there was stock available. If you received alerts late I am sorry. I also check my Yahoo account, and I received my Google Groups alert in box at 12:17, just one minute after my spiders first noticed Wii stock available.

Why do I keep seeing the Toys R Us bundle in stock and whenever I click on the link there is no stock?

I call this inventory floating. It happens with Walmat too. My spiders see the unit in stock when they make a visit and that is why I report it. If you want to take your chances, I suggest you sit on the site for a while and just continually hit refresh or press Ctrl + F5 to refresh the page every so often. You may just be lucky and see it in stock. I believe this floating typically occurs whenever older orders get canceled, human canceled or credit failure, and a unit is released back into the inventory system.

I have since taken down the bundle in order to eliminate history fill up. Clearly they have very few bundles available.

All, I just wanted to let you know this one is open to return errors. Typically, I wouldn’t even have added it because I have yet to see it in stock. But, I added it because we are nearer to Christmas and wanted to give everyone the best opportunity to get a Wii. Until I see the page with units in stock, I might throw errors your way for this bundle. Bear with it, you might just be able to snag one.

Sears has now been taken down as stock is no longer available.

Mobile Alerts being Late: It appears that we got our alerts too late because Twitter is under maintenance. One of those issues I guess we will just have to deal with. At least I didn’t receive mine till 7:50 AM this morning.

Google Groups Update Never Occurred: This one I am working on. The update did go out to the group, yet there was never a post made. There may be a few test posts that go out in this manner until I get the issue resolved. It is something within the email system.

I will update all here once I figure out the issue.

I have since removed the Sears Wii Wii Bundle from the tracker list as they are having the typical inventory issues over at Sears… Showing stock as available, when in reality it is not.  Once they rectrify this issue, I will turn it back on for tracking.

check your orders to ensure you have the Wii Console on your order. I tried to order as soon as I got the alert, and as I proceeded through the checkout, the console was sold out! However, they were still willing to send me everything else. Just to be safe, check your order or confirmation email to ensure the Console is there. Your cost should be at least $300+ for the bundle.

I am removing Sam’s as  a result of their site working improperly.  They are showing stock available only after adding to the cart does it say no stock available. I will turn it back on when the system is working properly again.
