Anyone have Experience w Amazon Preorders? : Othor Games

Anybody preorder from Amazon and choose the .99 release day shipping?

Will it make it to my house on time?

I'm checking the status and the item is being prepped to ship now. So that means .99 overnight shipping?

Anyone have any previous experience with Amazon?

Yes.

I've also ordered with release date shipping from Amazon before and got the game on time, you should be good.

Pre-ordered from amazon UK and always got the game the day after release, so not good reports from me...

However Game UK is gr8, next day delivery is guaranteed to get to you 1-2 days prior to release date.

I often buy from Amazon (Amazon UK). Eg. I preordered Gears of War 3 and chose "super saver delivery" (est. 7-10 days delivery, but free) and got it 3 days after release

I also pre-ordered it from there, no worries here. I've ordered stuff from amazon many times and used their release date delivery and have never had an issue, it always comes on the release date. it does in fact only cost .99 and it's overnight, i'm not sure how they do it. Maybe it's their way of trying to keep up with stores you can just drive to and pick it up. Amazon also doesn't charge sales tax (at least to people in my state) and because sales tax is so high where i live i always end up spending less on amazon.

As long as you make sure you order from Amazon and not other resellers listed on Amazon (eg. gZoop and/or other users) you should be safe.

Ive cancelled my Amazon UK preorder and choose another retailer in Hungary where i live since they wouldnt send it before 10-18th Okt. Could pay as much for shipping as the game itself than i would get it in 3 days from lunch. We dont Amazon HU, still i buy it for 26 GBP (9k HUF) which is cheaper than the price at your country's webshop.

Yep. And the shipping information won't update till it is already delivered. FYI.

Yikes! Looks like I'll spend 2-morrow pacing, looking out the window & chewing my nails till it gets here!

The only time Amazon delivered after release day for me was because of a snow storm. And i order a lot of games. You should be fine.

Tracked it and it's on the UPS truck, out for delivery. Now it's just a matter of waiting till he gets to my neck of the woods!!

What time does UPS usually drop off a package for you... Around here the latest I've gotten a package from them was around 9PM.

Depend on the guys load of packages for the day but usually it's after lunch, between 1PM and 3:30 PM.

I like the smell of new owner's manuals. Nothing says 'Brand New Game' like that smell!

Whenever I pre-order a console game, I order from Amazon with the release day shipping. Mine always arrives release day around 11am (EST). Although it kinda svcks that I sit at work until 4:30 anyways... just makes my day that much longer waiting to go home. Good thing I got this on PC (steam) and played it last night!

Damn, my dog keeps barking like the UPS truck is here and giving me a false alarm! I get psyched run to the window and 'Noooo!' it's not here!

» Sat May 12, 2012 6:30 am

I heard the UPS truck b4 the dog, go figure!
