OT: My CM4 Shipped!

atatange1 · 03-26-2003, 08:10 PM

I got my e-mail that it shipped from there team in Leeds. Now, I have to wait 1-4 weeks, say's the e-mail anyway. I ordered from Gameplay.com has anyone else gotten an e-mail?

Calis · 03-26-2003, 08:31 PM

Lucky bastige.

Nothing here as of yet from Gameplay, hope I get that e-mail soon!

CAsterling · 03-26-2003, 08:40 PM

I'm getting mine posted to me by a friend back home on Friday morning, so I should have it 5-7 days after friday.

Didn't do the order from a company this time, as the last version took too long to get here.
4th or 5th of April I should be starting to destroy the careers of some talented players

moriarty · 03-26-2003, 08:45 PM

Ugh. Someone here talked me out of Gameplay so I could save a few dollars preordering elsewhere. Now I got the bad feeling I'll be waiting months.

Havok · 03-26-2003, 08:56 PM

my shipped as well. 1-4 weeks!!!!!!!
how the hell are they sending it?? Is someone swiming across the atlantic ocean to bring it to me??

I think it was like an extra 10 bucks for shipping right?? I cant remember.

Normal delivery time for stuff coming across the atlantic is 5-7 days - 2 days that end before it gets on a plane, 1 day in transit, and 2 days to be delivered in the US (if a package takes 7 it was quite a slow delivery). So you should have it in a week to 10 days (just my estimate as they will be mass mailing to 100s of people), i figure they put 1-4 weeks on these things to cover themselves just incase of problems.

Havok · 03-26-2003, 09:07 PM

ahhh ok cool. im going out of town next thursday-monday. so when i get back i hope its here

Even though im completely hooked on TDCB right now.

Out of the four times I have ordered CM, Gameplay got it to me the slowest. I wouldn't worry about it that much.

GoldenEagle · 03-26-2003, 09:22 PM

I need to order my copy but I am still hoping to see it in stores by May.

I paid, after shipping, just under 50 dollars total; pricewise, I don't really see a reason to wait that long.

Doug5984 · 03-26-2003, 09:49 PM

i just got my email saying it shipped also....i am happy, i just randomly picked a place to order it from a list over at sigames.com....i guess i got lucky and picked the one that ships the fastest....now i just have to wait 1-4 weeks.

edit: i ordered from gameplay also.

astralhaze · 03-26-2003, 11:38 PM

Got mine.

andy m · 03-27-2003, 04:51 AM

my copy was shipped on the 25th. i might even end up with it in my hands today. bwahahahaha.

moriarty · 03-27-2003, 08:26 AM

Ok, I take back my whining. My order 'dispatched' yesterday. Of course it says it should arrive in 1-3 days (yeah right). Somewhere between the 1-3 days and 1-4 weeks being quoted elsewhere is probably about right.

Confirmation, unfortunately.

WussGawd · 03-27-2003, 09:08 AM

Anybody got a line on where an uninitiated newbie could get a hold of a copy of CM4. I have to admit that I'm interested enough in the discussions of the game to want to give it a whirl.

Calis · 03-27-2003, 09:13 AM

WussGawd, walk away now while you still can. I don't you think fully understand what you'd be getting yourself into.

But if you're set on doing this, this is where most people ordered it from

Gameplay

I can't, I'm weak.

Besides, how could anybody walk away from what several FOFCers have called the holy grail of sports management sims.

Besides, which, there's a hook. I played soccer all the way through high school, so I know at least something about the tactics. I played badly, but still enough to enjoy watching it.

Thanks for the line on this one though.

i think a lot of people in the US use: http://www.gameplay.com/ to order from.

Karim · 03-27-2003, 11:04 AM

I used Special Reserve and was told I would receive it in 1-3 days...

Not likely!

Ragone · 03-27-2003, 04:17 PM

Karim,

I used special reserve as well.. 1-3 days.. would be sweet

hehehe, but no way in hell.. i am figuring next friday i'll get it

Bee · 03-27-2003, 04:34 PM

Mine was shipped out yesterday and it should arrive in 1-3 days...it's not here yet, should I call?

moriarty · 03-27-2003, 04:38 PM

Yeah, if we all start hammering them with 'where's my game?' after 3 days, do you think they'll change their auto response?

bbor · 03-27-2003, 08:45 PM

Got my conf of shipping yesterday.......should i stop waiting on the porch yet?

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 02:35 PM

Aww. I ordered from Special Reserve expecting to get it rather quickly also. I thought someone here had mentioned it to be the best place to get it from.

I need to pay more attention to you guys.

Neuqua

Neuqua

That's where I ordered mine from too, you haven't received a confirmation of it being shipped yet?

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 03:39 PM

No I haven't.. You guys have?

I'm not liking this!

Neuqua

Bee · 03-28-2003, 03:41 PM

If you have your order reference number you can go their website and check the status of your order. Mine was "dispatched" on Wednesday...which I took to mean sent out, not killed.

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 03:43 PM

Special Reserve sent me a email the day AFTER mine was despatched... meaning i was checking the page i got when i ordered daily this week

so it was despatched before i got the despatched email. It says 1-3 days.. but i'd be thrilled with anything under 10 working days

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 03:44 PM

Uhhh... And I cant exactly call long distance from Chicago...

Neuqua

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 03:45 PM

Neuqua they should have sent you a email with a link to your direct tracking page.. if thats coming up maybe its not processed yet..

Bee · 03-28-2003, 03:47 PM

If you can't call, I'd at least fire off an email to them. That looks like they've lost your order to me.

Bee · 03-28-2003, 03:50 PM

Ouch...just saw you can't email them.

You can always send a letter...

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 03:51 PM

I got that error neuqua did like for a few hours after i ordered.. so maybe its just a matter of time?

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 03:52 PM

Aww man. This has to be the worst news I've had in a long time. I'll see what I can do.

Neuqua

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 03:53 PM

The only thing is that I ordered like a month ago atleast. When did you order yours Ragone?

Neuqua

I kind of figured that Neuqua had pre-ordered a while ago, if he just ordered within the last day or 2 that's probably what it is.

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 03:55 PM

I ordered 2 weeks ago.. If i was you neuqua.. i'd call up my bank and check and see if any charges from special reserve were on your statement.. might be best way to go

Bee · 03-28-2003, 03:58 PM

That's a good idea. I know they charged me when I ordered (not when they shipped).

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 04:00 PM

Sounds like a good idea. I was just about to head in that direction anyway, I might as well stop at the bank and check. Thanks guys.

Neuqua

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 04:02 PM

If you go to your bank.. they are probably going to instruct you to call the # on the back of your card.. espcially being its near 5pm

You'll probably get better service through them anyway

Neuqua · 03-28-2003, 04:34 PM

Well, just a quick update, I ended up going to the bank and printed out my statement. It looks as though the money was never taken in the first place so I think I'm ok. Their email suggested they'd take the money as soon as they processed the CC.

Neuqua

Ragone · 03-28-2003, 05:36 PM

They charged me the MOMENT it cleared.. as my bank has online order protection in the form of a pop up that informs me when a charge to my credit card is made via a online site.. kinda neat.. so it sounds like to me your order never processed at all
