Board 8 > I'm not even picking FREE Super Saver Shipping on Amazon again.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pre-Ordered Disgaea 4, was supposed to come in today and it's still not freaking there.

What's the point of pre-ordering a game if you get it more than a week later ._.

I mad.

the free super saver shipping is amazing. if you are expecting to get a game when it releases, you shouldn't be getting it though. it tells you that usually it takes 5-8 business days. that does not include weekends. I have used amazon for years and only like once or twice has it taken longer than 5-8 business days, while it has come earlier than that pretty often. but you still need to be prepared for the worst.

pre-orders for games are NEVER to benefit you, the consumer. it is to let companies know how many copies they need to stock.

Are they offering it free for students again? Mine expired in August and I didn't see any way to renew it as a student.

--
A hare like me couldn't catch up to Black Turtle.

I think that is only free for students who have not used the trial before. I ended up renewing it since it was discounted to roughly $40

It does if it's the lowest possible priority and they fill up trucks with normal shipping items and older free items. Really it's your fault for expecting the free shipping to work like paid shipping.

The standard paid shipping wasn't even an option. It was either that or the costly as **** express shipping.

The estimated shipping date was yesterday though ! Usually Amazon is spot on or completely wrong in the sense that it comes much sooner than that sooo when it goes over I get impatient really freaking fast. And post already came, got a ****ty ad thing and a crappy magazine.

I love that, plus it's less expensive than regular 3 day shipping for some reason, I dig.

Um, this looks like the post office fault, not Amazon. Once they ship something out they can't control how fast it travels. And I always use Free Super Saver Shipping. I usually get my stuff in 3-4 days.

if it has already shipped you cannot cancel the order.

No, no.

There's obviously something wrong with your order, but you're supposed to get it the day it comes out if it's a high-profile release. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Portal 2 I both got the Tuesday they came out. Of course, I had Amazon Prime back then so maybe it was exclusive to that? I'll see when Dark Souls releases, I guess. <_<"

Good luck though, I hope you actually get your stuff. I'd figure out who you need to complain to if I were you.

amazon does not offer release date shipping with every game

they specify if they do or not on the page.

I'll complain if I don't get it tomorrow, it says 5 to 8 business day usually and it's only the 7th today, I'm mad because the estimate was the 13th and I trust Amazon when it comes to this. If I don't get it tomorrow on the 8th business day then I'll complain to Canada Post I guess.

I submitted a ticket to Canada Post after reading a while on the website and seeing that Expedited Parcels are guaranteed to be shipped on the estimated date, my game was under that category and the estimated date was the 12th so there's definitely a problem.

In the past I didn't have much problem with free shipping on Amazon until just now.

I ordered Radiant Historia on Monday from a sale, all week it said "Shipping Soon", and NOW it finally said that it shipped.

Man, if I didn't have finals like 2 weeks later, the possible upcoming wait on Skyward Sword might've been horrible.

I consider myself an extremely patient person when I'm not given an expected timeframe for something to happen. I can wait for days and days when I don't know approximately until when I have to wait, but if you tell me I'll have to wait until a said day or hour and nothing happen on that day/hour then I'll get impatient really fast.

--
Best LPer ever, Gix ! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt5YKmP7ecY

That's exactly why I just order it and forget about it. Even if I do look at the estimated delivery date, I just don't think about it.

I've had things show up a few weeks late without me even remembering I ordered it as a result, but it's better than getting all annoyed that something still hasn't showed up like I used to.

Well for most stuff I'm that way, like music CDs, game guides and stuff. But when I order a game I really look forward to play it so that's why I like to have it on time. I can just listen to my music on Youtubes and Game Guides I just buy because I enjoy to read them while on the toilet.

I should also say that if you're a college student you can get Prime for free for a full year. And then it's 1/2 off for the 3 years after it's over.

Well unless you've already used that up.
