Default Re: Assassins Creed 3 - Ubistore Edition

Can't see what value was written on my box but I just payed taxes on the actual item....I still don't know what to do with the wrong edition though. Maybe I should sell the ps3 game and just put a xbox one in it :/ don't want to ship it back and pay all the taxes twice

You could try to contact them and let them know of the issue, they may rectify it by sending you the correct game (only) and also let you keep the incorrect game they sent to you?! I'd just let them know exactly what's happened and they may come to a conclusion in your favour without losing anything?!?

They've made errors in my order once before and they kindly fixed it up plus also sent me a bonus as well! It could happen to you too!?

but even if they send me just a new game I would have to pay taxes on it. But will message them anyway...let's see how everything turns out

What? Damn, this is bullshit.

I guess I can't complain too much, received my copy in the office from UPS on release day the 31st and didn't have to pay any taxes, got the right version and only damage was the envelope as pictured, have sent to Ubi to see if they can send a replacement envelope being the fussy collector I am :p went to the midnight launch on the 30th too to pick up my freedom edition here in Aus.
Only thing I really want now is the pewter figures that came as pre order bonus here in Aus but I couldn't buy a third edition of the game... Hoping to buy them from someone

Sweet just bought the pewter figurines off someone on eBay, 1 set listed and wasn't too bad of a price. Happy now no more buying AC3 stuff... Although the posters from ubiworkshop are tempting...

Got the same email. If they offered free postage I might bite, but another $23 on top of the $40 is a bit much.

I don't care where you live in the world, $23 postage is pure fraud. I ship up to 4lbs halfway around the world, in a box, for that or less.

Most publisher sites overcharge for shipping from their own online store. Rockstar is bad, but Capcom are a little better.
