my order was with play i almost thought i wouldnt get it till next week but they dispatched them all last night with next day delivery DPD even tho i was paying for regular delivery and it arrived at 11:20ish this morning
i belive alot of these delivery issues are becasue they were forced not to release the games until a certain time i imagine they have spent a fair amount on delivery costs to keep alot of people happy

i am sorry to say that anyone who ordered with asda / amazon / play etc all set themselves up for disapointment. think about it.....those are huge companies that sell many many thousands of products. they dont really give a cack about getting things to people on or before release.
Shopto.net only deal in games, they were probably set up by gamers and many of the staff will be gamers. they understand how important these pre-order are to you, they know that you are checking the order status 5 times a day in the week leading up to the release. this is why they go the extra mile and send you a text message that its being processed and then send you an email with a photograph of your envelope attached when its ready to be sent out.
I have ordered 25ish games with them over the last couple of years, every single one that was a pre-order was delivered on the day before release. they are also often cheaper than those other companies, they understand what we want as gamers, which is why i always use them when possible.
Lol, Ive ordered from shopto for the first time. They sent the game out and it arrived on thurs. MASSIVE PROBLEM. Despite in the email saying they were sending it to my dispatchy adress they instead sent it to my billing address. Not exactly a competent service imo. This means I wont be able to play the game for a while because I do not visit my billing address very often.
Having ordered from amazon numerous times I have never encountered such problems. Unless shopto re-emberse me in some way then I probably will not be using them again after the service they have given. it will depend soely on how good their customer service is.

Uh oh. Can anybody else confirm this for UK CE Xbox 360 versions. Do your discs have N7 printed on them?

I'll be demanding the postage refund again and I've cancelled all my other pre-orders with Amazon since they proved to be useless on pre-orders for me.

Well yet again Amazon.co.uk have failed me with their guaranted delivery.....it was sent out yesterday via Royal Fail, no tracking info.....I'm guessing they sent it first class again despite charging for expidited.

Same situation here.

i gave HDNL hell over the phone, and despite attempting to lie to me about the reason why they failed to deliver ("Amazon gave it to us too late last night", which is interesting as Amazon gave them ALL their copies last night at the same time, lol) they are sending it to me tomorrow instead of Monday, but i have to stay at home again all day as even though they screwed up they can;t tell me when they might deliver it.
STILL tomorrow is better than three days time...

strange, it seems to be all completely computerised to me, especially the 5 minute despatch system, takes 3 minutes from order time until you have an email with a photo. from what i can from the video on their website see human hands are not involved at all.FightingFirst wrote...

Just got off the phone with a very helpful customer assistant and she checked the status of my order. She has claimed that I am not the first one to have enquired about the status of their 'Mass Effect 3' game and she says that they should be arriving today. She says that it can arrive any time up until 7pm today.
Guess thats another 2 and a half hours waiting =/

The HDNL van left the depot (about 1 hour tops away from where I live) at 8 this morning and apparently has been driving for over 8 hours :/ I think someone's mucked up somewhere
Delivery is having our lives here
I never have this kind of trouble with any other products, just release day games =/ If it doesn't arrive tonight, I'm going to get either get it guaranteed from amazon that I will get it tommorow (through 'gentle' persuasion) or get a refund and just got to a shop like
