Late preorders misery thread

Some of us will be getting Halo 4 today, most of us will be getting it tomorrow, but some of us won’t be getting it until after that.

I ordered the game from Sainsbury’s Entertainment (UK) in September and got an email this morning saying it has been dispatched, and would be delivered within 3-5 working days, this despite the shopfront saying “Order now for 6/11/12”. I rang them up and the guy said they send out games second class. No mention of this beforehand. I can’t now cancel and buy it elsewhere as it is on the way and might not arrive till next monday. I am off work tomorrow to play the game and will be sat thre like an idiot at this rate.

Anyone else not expecting to see their copy when they should? I’ll be loathe to turn on my 360 tomorrow if it doesn’t show up, as my whole friends list will be playing it.

I’ve been waiting for an email from best buy saying that my order has shipped and it still hasn’t come. If i don’t get the email by the end of today there is no way i will get it tommorow. This is really disappointing since i planned my schedule ahead to have the day free and now i might not get it. I am envious of my friends who already have the confirmation that they are getting it tommorow or are going to midnight releases

This is why I always go to Gamestop to pre-order games, I never order online for a number of reasons.

Amazon shipped mine last night, but UPS has not picked it up yet.

I paid for next day shipping but on UPS it says UPS Ground which will take at least 2 days for me to get it… I’ll be so mad if I don’t get it tomorrow morning

I would have gone to gamestop as well except i don’t drive and there is no one to take me their tommorow so i decided to order online. If i don’t get it tommorow i will never order online or from best buy again. I even payed a stupid 8 dollar fee to get it on release date.

That’s what you get for ordering from Sainsbury’s lol. I feel sorry for you though, that must really blow.

I’d ring up and complain. They advertised it falsely. Demand a refund and go pick up the game tonight/tomorrow.

I’m expecting it by 13 this month in the worst case; bought from Amazon.co.uk and I live in Spain.

Amazon still didn’t ship mine. Now because of the hurricane the delivery may be delayed.

My estimated delivery date is tomorrow. Not yet shipped though. I’m betting they will ship it as soon the clock is up for next-day delivery which is in an hour.

What i don’t understand is that best buy shipped my poster that comes with the preorder 4 days ago, why the delay with the game?

My estimated delivery is on the 8th. What the hell!

Amazon, still hasn’t said they shipped my package yet…

I know this wont help but see if you can at least rent from local while you wait?

Ahh, my brothers, I have found the. Got my shipment notice last night at around 11, but it looks like it’s not going to arrive until the 7th. Definitely upsetting considering the tracking information says its sitting in a warehouse an hour away. You’d think in modern times it would be possible to move a package 100 kilometers (60 miles for you US folk) in the span of 72 hours, but apparently that’s just to much to ask.

We the, begrudged and lonely soles who will get our copies late.

May our heart and courage and strength overcome the dmr fire comming our our way, while we helplessly try to pistol kids.

If I cancelled the delivery now I’d have to wait over a month for a refund (can’t afford that) and I’d have to pay for it to be returned.

Buy another copy of the game now by visiting a physical store, when you get the copy that was shipped to you, return it.

I had a pre-order from there too because it was only like £30 so I thought it was a pretty good deal. I switched to tesco who aren’t that much better. They dispatched it yesterday with second class posting so I’m not expecting the game until friday.

Rent it from Blockbusters at midnight
On the bright side, amazon have dispatched mine and sent me a text and email That it’s GUARANTEED tomorrow. I’d take the day of college if not for a girl. Girl or Halo? I know right, should be easy…HALO!

I feel the OP’s pain. Mine was send on the 1st of nov and its still not here, here hoping for tomorrow.

Should of got it in store :(.
