@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.

As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).

Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.

@DarkWingDuck

I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though )

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).

I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.

I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.

That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.

For niche titles it's okay. Problem is I play mainly bigger titles. Games are expensive enough as is. If I can save 50 bucks, use my ebucks (which some retailers allow) then I'm definitely going with another retailer.

Basically if I have to choose between paying delivery or not I'm going to go for not paying for delivery. On top of that, I find my Nexus orders are usually delayed. I don't think I've ever received a game on release day which is annoying when you're paying extra for delivery especially. And often you have to ask where it is which I don't think the customer should have to do, that's part of customer service.

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

Ok…did the new update last night.

They change a few important things

First, you now can change your user/nick name.

Secondly, the XP issue with the curve, great and nice throws has been fixed.

The main change is the radar matter…not called “Nearby” anymore but 'Sightings'.

Once you click the bar showing the 'Sightings' Pokemons, the next tab now reflects a background for the Pokemons.

I reached the 100 KMS walked goal this weekend.

Few things I learned from the game -

If you want a gym taker / powerful Pokémon, use the common, easy to find ones. It’s easier to find then and to get candy for them.

Its great to have a rare or hard to find Pokémon in your collection however levelling then up or even evolve them is difficult.

I take Pikachu, he only got level to evolve and you need 100 candies to evolve. The only way to gain extra candies is to catch more of the same Pokemons.

On each catch you get 3 candies [on average] and one candy if you trade the Pokémon in to the Professor. So to evolve Pikachu you will need to catch 25 Pikachu. We not even looking into the quantity to level him up.

The higher level you reach, the harder is to catch them. I am on level 34 and each Pokémon I encounter is above 100 CP and on average I now need 2 to 3 normal Pokeballs to catch them.

So stock up on balls…

Easy levelling up tip.

Use a Lure, incense and lucky egg together.

I used this combo and levelled one level in the 30 minutes.

Also try and evolve some Pokemons while the Lucky Egg is active.

That can also work, however having enough candies and stardust is the problem.

I have used the lures yet. Saving them for my nephews.

My approach has been more focused on walking. On 90/100 km. Not too focused on leveling super quick as much as I am that the game should get me outside and walking

Although I do agree 100% using an XP egg and evolving are the way to go. Last time I did this I went up 2 levels. I got a bunch of pidgey waiting for my next evolve session

There is the new company challenge starting on 22 August 2016 called Global Step Challenge. You need to download the app and register under your company code. The challenge is to see with companies walk the most…

So, with me playing Pokemon…I have been told to take part…more time now to play Pokemon at work….

That's pretty cool if they are changing things around I think something like a monthly or quarterly change of spawn points would keep things interesting.

I travel a bit for work. Today, whilst riding the shuttle into the parking lot, I found this bad boy

It helps to travel hehe

I discovered something during a gym battle last night.

Some may know this, but I did not.

When you battling, pressing the screen fast does the normal attacks. Sliding you finger left to right on the screen enable the dodge.

However pressing on the screen and holding you finger on the screen activates the special attack. Now this only happens once the power bar (the white squares) under the health bar is filled up.

The faster you attach the opposing Pokémon, the faster your power bar fills up.

I took out a 1200 CP Pokémon with a 900 CP Pokémon, just by using the special attacks.

My son showed me a trick to evolve the Eevee.

So I googled it and he was correct –

When you want to evolve Eevee in Pokemon Go, there’s a specific strategy to get the evolution you want, whether it’s Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon. Up until now many Pokemon Trainers thought the evolution was random, but it’s been discovered that there’s a fairly easy way to get the evolution you want. Of note, it’s recommended that you hold off on evolving a low CP Eevee more than once until you have enough candy to get to the third evolution.
To evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, Jolteon or Flareon, all you have to do is rename your Pokemon to a specific term listed in the chart below. Once you’ve edited the name of your Eevee accordingly, confirm the rename (tap OK), then restart the Pokemon Go app to make sure the name change was saved to the servers. When you get back into Pokemon Go, simply use Candy to evolve Eevee and you’ll get the desired evolution that corresponds to the name you selected.

Apparently they recently nerfed dodging. It used to be that you would take no damage for a successful dodge. Now, according to people who have gone through the code, you still take 25% of the damage. Makes it a bit more difficult to take over gyms

Anyway, I couldn't believe my luck this morning. I opened my app while waiting for the elevator at work, and found a PORYGON!

My Pokedex is now on 82 caught. How is everyone else's Pokedex going?

New update available

The main new feature is you can get your Pokemon "appraised". Your team leader will tell you how good your Pokemon is (I think it's based on hidden values, like IVs), as well as comment on weight/size.
