Anticipated The Last Of Us II - Collector's Edition

[b1rk]

Here is my shopping experience with Amazon FR and buygame2.

Pre-ordered CE at Amazon FR last year, instead of receiving my edition I got an email from them yesterday, that they expecting stock between August 6-12. In other words, I still cannot be sure that they will got enough and that I will get mine.

Pre-ordered Ellie edition at buygame2 last year, instead of receiving my edition I got an email from them yesterday asking for additional $129 (!!!) for shipping due to transport difficulty caused by Coronavirus plus that they underestimate size of the edition and the courier asking additional charge.

I’m kinda disappointed of this situation and not really keen to pay such significant additional amount.

Am I only one here or anyone else have not received his preorder from Amazon FR and facing the same situation with buygame2?

Isn't buygame2 a scam? Or am I confused with a similar name reseller?

No they are not a scam. But they are quite expensive and their prices seem to have gone up a lot in recent years. I have stopped using them.

Buygame2 is not a scam, I bought from them a few times including my Uncharted 3 suitcase. They have physical store but I agree that their website looks crappy.

I ordered an Ellie edition from them as well and they were asking additional $89 for shipping. I could understand why because of the weight (it is 19lb!) and I can confirm that the carriers are charging more in Asia because of the pandemic, because my aunt works in the exporting business.

I’ve contacted the to have my order cancelled. Hopefully they’ll cancel it.

Yes but is it 19 lbs though? I doubt it. I'll explain why I think it's a lot lighter.

I received my Collector's Edition from Game yesterday and the brown box measures 17 inches x 13.5 inches x 13.5 inches. Weights 12.5 lbs.

Now the Ellie edition has a backpack and a vinyl (and something else) as extras over the Collector's edition. Surely these items cannot increase the size or weight of the box by 6.5 lbs ?

Even if they had to use a slightly bigger box it would not increase it by that much.

I received mine yesterday, it says 15lb on the shipping label but 19lb on the box. The outer box seems to be directly from Sony, with dimensions and weight, also the “do not display until 6/19” sticker.

I had similar situation with FFVII Remake vinyl - on release date Amazon France sent me e-mail that they don’t know when they get vinyls and I can cancel my pre-order and buy it from marketplace sellers.
As pre-order price with shipping was only 60eur I decided to risk and wait - couple weeks later I got my order
