That's because it's not widespread yet, wait till they swamped and the person on the other end sounds like they have lost their will to live.

Haha. Fun begins. They say, in a very kind way that I need a valid TV license that has no outstanding amount, however I have never had a TV license. So they are now trying to check how I can get a valid license. I can probably just google it. Can this be done online? Meh ...

At least I got to test their customer service and the effort the guy put in. He actually went and googled how to get a TV licenses, he then proceeded to check which local places I have a available to go register for one, he then proceeded to check on their website what it will cost for one and he offered to email a list thorugh to me. Of course he is very sorry for my experience and he wished it could be done online through amazon, but that is unfortunately not an option.

He then asked if there is anything else he can help with and again apologized, he kind if sounded sad for my sake, that I dont have a registered TV license.

Lets first see if someone actually get these great deals on Xbox or tv. Many companies do that great prices only to cancel orders.

So correct.

Dion/Walmart and the other sorry ass brick 'n mortar stores will sell you a license on the spot with your TV - they have a special console that they do it on iirc

I think it's been working fine, some ordered the air fryer and had no issues.

TV issue will deal with tv license validation so that would get canceled like above.

By the way, Amazon support also phones you back immediately. You don't have to use any airtime. I couldn't even count to 20 and then someone was talking to me.

That's impressive, hopefully doesn't change as they get busy

I have none of those stores close to me. My only option is to try PnP. I did ask him if I can borrow his TV license....

Does RV have a valid TV license? If not, I suspect that "their issue" is that there is a check in the process that is throwing an uninformative error message related to them not being able to verify the license.

It seems I dont have a TV license. I thought you get it with a birth certificate. My bad.....

The air fryer is cheap but plausible as it was even cheaper at Checker a while ago. That Xbox series X I would like to see if someone gets it

I tried that last year, i asked a store employee if he can use his TV license because end-of the day they'll get a sale etc. He just laughed it off.

Either he didn't have one or just didn't want too.
