Here's my Amazon.ca order for the CE.




FUCKING WHY?!

This thing didn't even start shipping until TODAY and only after I complained. That's 4 days after release day.

It took them four god damned days to say "Oh, we should put this in a box and on a truck. The person who ordered this back in JANUARY probably wants it".

What is the incentive in pre-ordering anything widely sold from Amazon? What is the point if they don't even SHIP on release day, and they just sit around with their thumbs up their asses until you contact them TWICE to complain.

That's right, they didn't even ship this damned thing, until I called them today to tell them how incredibly unacceptable this was. Then they were kind enough to upgrade me to free 1 day shipping (which... on a Friday, means I still have to wait until Monday), which is the only reason I'm getting it before April 28th, which was my original delivery date. For those of you following along at home, that's nearly two and a half weeks after release.

Fuck Amazon. Never pre-ordering something from them that I can get elsewhere again. That includes my two PlaystationVR headset bundles that I'm cancelling. Damn them to hell.

I preordered mind on Dec 20 and also wondered what the heck happened to it upon release day. Finally got a note on Apr 15 to pick it up from the post office. Agree, Amazon screwed up on this release, they should know better to ship in general 2 days before product launch so customer get it in proper time, not this silly 5 days delay they pulled with DS3.

Unfortunately we don't have much choice as a consumer in Canada and our options of online retailers is so tiny compared to the US. Frustrating but nonetheless, anazon.ca has delivered well on many of my past purchases and I'll remain a loyal customer.

I can understand them not sending things out too early. I mean, I live about 30 minutes from the warehouse, so if they had sent mine out 2 days before product launch, I'd have it before launch.

But damn! They didn't even SHIP on release day! I didn't even get my copy until yesterday!

You're right, we don't have many choices here, which is kind of a shame. Not just from a personal standpoint, but just for the sake of a competitive market with the consumer in mind.

At least we both got our games in the end.
