Amazon is not failing a lot lately. They are still the very best place to shop online. Nobody is as easy to do business with.

I've got it set for release date shipping from Amazon. It still shows 11/11 and "Shipping Soon".

If it doesn't get here tomorrow, I owe my husband an expensive dinner. That on top of not having Skyrim would make for one unhappy HereKhajiitKhajiit.

On the Amazon US site, it says you can order it as late as 5pm today (your local time) and still have it delivered tomorrow. Is Amazon holding back shipping to wait for all these very last minute orders? Steam says it will unlock at 10pm tonight. COME ON AMAZON BRING ME THE GAME TODAY!!!!

Do you live in the U.S.? Because the 11th of November is Veteran's Day here.

Not sure if the Postal Service is running on Veteran's Day or not... could be why the delivery date has changed.

If you pick Release Date Delivery the item is normally delieverd via UPS or some other carrier besides USPS, UPS doesn't do that holiday so we WILL still get it


I was worried about my order as well, turns out the game and guide are coming from seperate places unlike what I was told yesterday so kinda mad at that but they say I should still get it on Nov 11th

Why does it say shipping soon?!?! I want it to arrive on time dammit! :cryvaultboy:

Mine also says Shipping Soon, but they said it is already on the truck either have shipped or not, could be the site normally takes a long time to update you with the tracking info, once I didn't get my tracking number till 3 hours after the game was deliverd!


Amazon normally ships games with Release Date Delivery the DAY BEFORE, it should arrive on time don't worry, if you are hit up a chat with one of the reps or call them, check ur estimated delivery date

There still is a day... First time ordering something of an online retailer?

I don't think folks realize that Amazon typically overnights the release day titles [best way they have to meet their obligation to not arrive before the sale date].

Could just be it is shipping from different locations.

Hell the guide for me is coming from Tulsa while the game is coming from Arizona >.> I live in California :brokencomputer:

I chose the Super Saver Shipping because I am not in a hurry. Also because I've got a couple of games on my hands that I want to give some time because when Skyrim arrives, it will be the only game I play. ;)

Mine just shipped within the last half an hour by first class post. I don't dare hold out hope that it'll arrive tomorrow, but then I have had 'super saver delivery' items arrive the day after they were shipped, so who knows?

Be careful with Amazon, as unless you pay for next day shipping you are going to get the game way late.
Also, even with next day shipping there is still a processing time.

This is why people get their games late.

Next day shipping= game releases on 11/11/11. Game is shipped on 11/11/11 to arrive next day.

RELEASE DAY SHIPPING= game releases on 11/11/11, game is shipped before 11/11/11 to arrive ON that day.

Need to pay attention to shipping options.

Amazon won't ship it USPS, they'll ship UPS, which delivers on Vet's Day. I've never received anything from Amazon USPS.

Also, I've preordered several games from Amazon, and a couple of times it didn't say "shipped" until the evening of the day before release, and yet I still have always gotten it on the release date. That's just my experience, but I wouldn't be too worried as long as you selected the release date delivery option.
