Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

If no one gets it today we should probably contact them.

I think you are right.
I think that the problem isn't in local mail services, because here are people from Britain, Sweden, Finland and Germany waiting for the game.
Could the problem be with the airmail?

It has to be.
I'm guessing they shipped our copies at the same time and seeing how we are all still waiting, I doubt the games ever made it to the UK (if I'm not mistaken, all orders from VG+ to Northern/Western Europe are shipped through the UK).

I still hope that we will get the games today, but I doubt it.

I am at work,going to check the mail in the evening....but i am almost certain that is a no show today
Include Portugal in the list...

Maybe VG+ changed something in the package and the customs are delaying it....just guessing

I can remember a couple of years ago something similar happened to me with the Madden 2009 colectors edition. They changed how they were shipping parcels and were using normal DHL mail rather than Canadian Airmail - it took over 2 weeks. VG+ then changed back to Canadian Airmail after some complaints.

I can remember my parcel went via DHL in Germany - remember it wasn't the gold star courier service, just normal shipping using a different logistics company.

Might be worth asking Charlotte at VG+ if they are still using Canadian Airmail or have switched to something else for normal deliveries. It would seem odd if everyone's parcel was stuck in customs.

I'm convinced the packages are lost somewhere because if they were really sent March 2nd/3rd then they should have arrived by now.

I have a friend that recently preordered Killzone 3 and it was sent on a Friday and arrived in Portugal the following Friday, so add that to majes post and this doesn't sound good at all. (I still have hope though).

And like Ninjoid said I still remember when they changed the delivery method and packages arrived with New Zealand stamps and took 2 weeks to arrive, but this is not the case because majes already received his game that was sent after the preorders, so they didn't changed the delivery method.

I have to admit I'm starting to get a little worried but the post hasn't arrived here in Nottingham yet! I'll probably leave it until Wednesday before contacting VG+ though. Patience guys, I know its frustrating but once it's left Toronto VG+ can't do much about it. Relax and have a nice cold frosty beer!

UPDATE: Postman has been but still no sign of my game.

Nothing in blackpool

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Just came home from work, and NOTHING.....
I wasn't surprised though.
I'm on the edge for ordering a new copy from VG+, this time using the DHL shipping....
I know, I know, I'm being impatient......

[Entiae]

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

I'm very interested in the response from VG+ to idrisguitar's email.
I don't have a good feeling about it though. I'm having a hard time being optimistic right now.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

im sure it will get here, just dont know when, and waiting 3-4+extra days would be just a tad below torture for me at this point

[Entiae]

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

If I have to wait until the end of the week, fine. I can deal with that.
What I don't like is not knowing where it is, or if it's even on its way or not.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Still no sign of it here in sheffield either,something has got to have happened to all those copies shipped on wednesday 2nd march by standard mail for no people in the uk,sweden,finland,portugal and germany to get the game.looks like we will have to email vg+ and tell them about all of us on operation sports still waiting for it to arrive
