Amazon Screw Up One Day Delivery

[FantasyMeister]

My Amazon.co.uk order went ok, ordered SE a few days ago, they shipped first class on Saturday, should be here Tuesday. I'm in the hands of Royal Fail now but Amazon definitely did their bit so no grumbles here.

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

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.

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.

If you would like to apologise for the aggressive nature of your post and the fact you wish Karma to "take proper care of me" it would be appreciated and to use your own terms perhaps prevent Karma from kicking you back in the ***?

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

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.

yep im with you there,theyve never let me down yet in a 1 1/2 years

ultimate edition is 64 quid you get a season pass you can only get it from amazon there was no choice for many of us

Same, but the new release date for UE of 12th is when I get back from India anyways so yay, although I must say it IS NOT Amazon's fault, merely the fault of the 3r party logistics company.

Yeah I only really use Shopto too. I have been using them for years and they haven't let me down yet.
The last time I ordered from game was for the dead space 3 limited edition (wasn't available on Shopto) and it arrived on the following Monday. If there's a special edition I really want that's exclusive to game, then I guess I have no choice sometimes.
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.
