You might be able to complain to Amazon... They might... give you... credit?! I'm not sure though.
but then one day delivery they will say it takes 1 day yea great customer service isnt it amazon are the equivalent of fraudsters
Sucks. I will have my physical copy in my hand no later than 10:02 tomorrow morning. I never preorder anymore.
I only ever use ShopTo for pre-orders. Been using them about a year now and every game i've pre-ordered has turned up a minimum of 1 day early. Had Defiance pop through the door on saturday morning. Highly recommend them.
Didn't use Amazon through choice, got the UE on pre-order and so I arranged to buy the SE to play until it turns up and then ship it back for a refund.
I was going to just say that sometimes the shipping estimates given for release day orders are inaccurate and they actually do manage to arrive on release day. This has happened to me twice, where the estimate was a day late, but it actually arrived on time.
However, after reading your last comment, I sort of hope it is late. You are going to buy the game, use the code, making it useless to others, then send it back to be resold? That strikes me as a serious lack of ethics, so maybe Karma will take proper care of you.
For those who are making legitimate Amazon purchases and show an arrival day a day late, you may actually get it ontime and, in your case, I really hope you do.
amazon stated that people who have been delayed can send a SE for a full refundQuote:

Amazon did dispatched most of my games on release date .
Companies know and have "grace time" .
Pre orders and loose ends ,i wonder how much damage it does partners ,wasted time and time is money ,bad publicity angry customers.
Pre orders failboat is part of every game release.
What about an option to pay your pre order with no way to cancel it as an option?
I would use it to as if i want some i want it and iam willing to use my freedom to pass my right to cancel.
Freedom is being able to make a choice to me ,even if i deny my rights i should have the freedom to do so :D
No I am sending back the item as agreed with Amazon. Knowing how retail works Amazon will simply send it back to the supplier for a refund due to the UE delivery screw up.Quote:

Well GameStop is supposed to be shipping my game today, and without a tracking number I have no clue when it's supposed to arrive.They said it would be here on the 2nd though, but it doesn't seem like it. So Amazon isn't the only one messing up orders
yep im with you there,theyve never let me down yet in a 1 1/2 yearsQuote:

I do only trust Shopto for preorders. It usually arrives a day early, which is just icing on the cake, to a terrific service.
shopto got me my copy by saturday ordered it thursday downside it has been a bank holiday and a lot of people probably went one day delivery which could cause problems.. i rely on shopto because they get the games to you before date of release and good price's
Any opened copy of Defiance sent back to Amazon will be rejected by the returns department.
Paid for day 1 from best buy. Got receipt says 4/2 or 4/3. O well
Unless of course it's already been negotiated and confirmed in writing, such as in good sir Blastiel's case. I read the whole saga in another thread, it was agreed they'd accept the return because of the exceptional circumstance, as well as them making it very clear it was against usual policy.Quote:

Worse than an airport, getting in there!
I still haven't heard from them about mine. I sent in a email questionnaire about it almost a week ago. Looking like I'll not be using them anymore. Just irritated they were the only ones to offer a UE in America.Quote:

Amazon really made a mess of this one.
I followed the link from the nice UE delay email they sent me, ordered a standard copy (which I intend to settle for and keep) and chose the delivery option clearly marked to 'get it by the 2nd of April'.
Up until this morning it was estimated for delivery by 0900 on the 2nd - and was dispatching soon.
On dispatch it cheekily changed to the 3rd.
Guess I better print a returns label ready for when it isnt here on time......
Again after the **** storm regarding the delay, having been confirmed in text multiple times with several representatives the deal that some have come to terms with Amazon is different from what you've been told. Unfortunately you may have gotten a bad piece of intel or someone that didn't have the info that the others have. If you are correct, be prepared for an even bigger storm since its been confirmed by different reps of Amazon in writing.Quote:
