I hate Royal Mail : V - Skyrim

» Wed May 09, 2012 6:05 pm

That's why I like to pick up the game at the store.

I can just go home with it.

Yep thats just what I'm going to do next time. Waiting around like this is just a waste of time.

It's 2:20 now and my post man just delivered some normal letters and left. Still waiting for my CE when Game.co.uk had told me that my copy had been shipped days agos. I pre-ordered this game weeks ago when Bethesda first told us about the CE.

Edit:
Two of my friends have pre-ordered copys of the normal edition from Game.co.uk also and they are also still waiting on there copys. This is ridiculous.

I'm not sure whether it comforts me or not that its not just Amazon UK messing this up.

No, it's Royal Mail, they're hopeless when it comes to getting post out on time.

Huh, guess they're making exceptions, otherwise they'd never get their quota of immigrant workers filled.

I saw the postman walking up the back road behind my house an hour ago, and he still hasn't been round my street!!!!!!!!!!!!

EH? Think you've been reading too much Daily Mail.

My postie has now been and gone and that sinking feeling has set in - no game.

Nah, they're too optimistic for my tastes. :yucky:

Well first and second post has been and gone at work and no Skyrim - so I have sent Amazon my second very strongly worded e-mail of the day asking why they desptached it First Class when I paid for Expediated and I could have chosen First Class if I had wanted to (but didn't as I knew it would be too slow) and would have saved myself money in the process.

Ok. Next time i try defending this god awful, poor excuse of a delivery company i work for, everyone on this forum has my express permission to kick me really REALLY hard in the nuts. Repeatadly. 1 of my collegues got his Skyrim today. From amazon. Shipped last night. Like mine. He's got his with the post, I don't. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I hate this job. Seriously. A thousand apologies to anyone who hasn't got it because of this s@#t company. Especially DarkZenith. You were right. I was wrong. Humble pie doesn't taste good!!!!

It just seems to be luck of the draw. Some people have received theirs and others haven't. As long as mine comes tomorrow I will be able to deal and get over it. I feel bad for the people who are having it sent to work though

Is there no way you guys could go and pick it up over the weekend?

» Thu May 10, 2012 9:03 am

My work is not open over the weekend. It's amazon.co.uk I am really angry with. I could have chosen to get it sent First Class. I didn't because I knew it would not get here. I chose to have it sent Expediated (which to my mind means not First Class which is ￡3 cheaper) and they go and send it First Class anyway. I am still waiting for a reason why apart from "the system chose it". Well someone programmed the system and it seems logical to me that you don't make one of the dispatch options for Expediated something that the customer could have chosen themselves (and paid less for) and chose not to!

Guess what?

Ordered 26 June 2011, Free Super Saver Delivery.

Dispatched 10/11/2011

Delivery Estimate 14/11/2011

Arrived 11/11/2011 @ ~14:00

Thank you Amazon.co.uk & Royal Mail.

Amazon should have known how to handle this properly to ensure people got their preorders. They've through this before. If they can't trust their carrier, they shouldn't promise release-date delivery.

On the other hand, Amazon does have very good customer service. Those of you who did not receive your copy should contact Amazon and politely express your outrage. They should find some way to compensate you.

I might do that if it doesn't arrive tomorrow. Amazon love giving out free gift codes to disappointed customers.

The annoying thing is my friends who live near me have it and they also ordered through Amazon.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You got the free delivery and with an expected arrival of the 14th, you got it today.

I payed extra for quicker delivery, with an expected arrival of today. I don't have it.

Well played, Amazon.

» Thu May 10, 2012 12:07 am

Wow I feel sorry for those of you who paid for first class, I went for super saver and it came here first thing today, that really is disgraceful. Best of luck with getting the game lads.

» Wed May 09, 2012 6:36 pm

same here only thing is it might arrive while I am out doing stuff out of the house so that kinda svcks, wont be back till later in the afternoon

» Wed May 09, 2012 9:22 pm

Postman came after 3pm and went, and all I have to show for it is a stupid bank statement!!!!!!! :flamethrower:

Royal Mail I hate you sooooooo much!

Also I hate hope, everytime I hope for anything I get a kick in the teeth! :toughninja:

I suspect it is my distance to the sorting office? I don't know how it works, except that I live very nearby a Royal Mail sorting office. Even still post only comes after 13:00?

» Thu May 10, 2012 4:08 am

Filed a complaint with Amazon based on the assurance I was given when I ordered that I would receive the game on the day of release. Today.

Response, in a nutshell, was "Tough"

Never again. I wrongly penny pinched trying to save a fiver rather than buying on Steam. Never again!!

» Thu May 10, 2012 7:19 am

Well I got a refund of slightly more than the postage from Amazon (￡7.15) but that still doesn't make up for a whole weekend without Skyrim. My work are not open over the weekend so earliest I could get it would be Monday - if it even arrives by then.
