Way to go Amazon...

They're saying my box won't be here until the 25th, looks like I'll be falling way behind Sad

They usually have estimated dates that are WAY off. My copy of Tales of Vesperia had an estimated arrival time of September 20th(Yes tommorrow), and I got it about a day after it came out. Think of it this way though, no taxes! Razz

Even if it does come earlier, I still might be locked out for this weekend if it comes on Monday or something.

Mook, this may be a stupid question, but why not just go to the store and pick up a copy?

Because I can't cancel my order, it says it's already been shipped, so I would just be paying an extra $50 which I don't have.

Ahh okay. But I guess I meant, why order through amazon? Razz

I'm gonna have to head to Gamestop today to get mine

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:23 pm

Yeah I just got mine at Best Buy. I guess if your doing the CE version then ordering online is the way to go.

I love Amazon. Been using Amazon Prime for 2-1/2 years now. Amazon & Newegg are my 2 favorite e-tailers by far.

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:29 pm

not sure on amazon but newegg is awesome. I just hate how they went from exclusively using FedEx to now using UPS I hate UPS.

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Fri Sep 19, 2008 2:29 pm

NEWEGG FTW

Actually haven't used them lately, and that does suck to hear about the switch to UPS Sad

Looks like mythic will be extending the headstart for all people that ordered from amazon, EA and one other place until 22nd of September. Looks like you can still play Mook. Here's the link: http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsOverview.war

Yes the grace period extension is great news for those folks whose boxes will be arriving late.

I used to hate UPS, too, but ever since about 3 years ago I've loved them. They just made a huge leap in efficiency at that time. Everything has been delivered with almost no delays or problems (other than the occasional smashed box lol). And they're cheaper than FedEx, too. I dunno, maybe they just love me. Wink

Because when I pre-ordered back in June, I heard Amazon was the best place to make sure you got your CE codes, so that's where I ordered.

Ah cool, but I'm leaving for the weekend so it doesn't really matter anyways. I'm going to have to level my ass off when I get back Razz

Not your ass!!! Don't you need that???

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:16 am

well I ordered from amazon. mine got here the 16th. when estimated was 18th. so that was good news. guess its just luck.

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Mon Sep 22, 2008 8:57 pm

September 22nd is here, my extended grace period is over, and Amazon is taking it's sweet time getting my CE to me. I'll see you guys whenever it gets here Mad

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:00 pm

Mine was in my mailbox even tho UPS delivered it. I was unaware they had access to my mailbox.

My dad checks the mailbox every day, not in there Sad

I love amazon.. I had 2 CEs and they are still selling more.. One came on the 18th the other came the 22nd... No idea why urs is taking so long unless you didnt select a good shipping order..

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:13 pm

Is it that it was shipped late or is UPS just being slow? Or both?

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:42 pm

I got the free shipping that came with it, said 2 day shipping or something.
It said it shipped last Wednesday though...

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:04 pm

What does the UPS tracking say since then?

Subject: Re: Way to go Amazon... Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:32 pm

I think my dad said it was somewhere in CA still being shipped, it's said that for the last 2 days though, and I live in San Diego...
And it's still not here today...

I just received my CE order today from Amazon. I was worried there for a bit since they had me put in a new credit card (old one had expired from the time I had ordered to now). Well it shipped out Friday morning and got here this evening. So happy. Loading it now.

P.S. And this box is massive, someone said they could club a baby seal with it, well it's big enough to club an adult baby seal (ya, think about that for a moment...).
