Well at least now I don't have to worry about missing out on the zavvi exclusive due to package going missing.

My record with zavvi for CE is 0/3 received. Not a single CE reached me. All got lost and the replacements also lost. It's just ridiculous. Everything else I buy from all over the world reaches me except for zavvi items. Makes me wonder if they even send them out.

Wow that is pretty bad luck Lemur, you getting the Australian version now.

That sounds really terribad! Never heard of so much misfortune.
I've had a number of terrible service from GAME.UK but never "lost" any items from them.

GAME.co.uk, as ell as Amazon are the ones to give me the best service. A lot of people complain about GAME. I can't complain too much though. Amazon is number one for me though, by (really) far.

Zavvi on the other hand sucks large and I do have reason to complain about them but since their prices are usually good I'm always ordering from them lol.

Deal with it people, we have been screwed by Konami but Zavvi didn't do a proper job notifying buyers either. I lost all the hype I had about the exclusive 4000 units limited edition and all that crap.

I think everyone in Singapore gets their items lost when ordering from zavvi. They use some company called MHI to ship the items then it's passed to a local company called WMG.

I'm just curious if you guys in other countries get your items from zavvi lost. If so, then it could be workers from MHI stealing the items. If this problem is isolated to Singapore, then it's probably WMG staff stealing them. It's almost always the big packages that go missing. DVDs, books and standard games all arrived safely for me. I suspect the workers supplement their income by stealing CE and selling them off.

Wow this is bad, I have never had anything lost in post from Zavvi but have certainly had items arrived damaged by them. Pretty poor in the respect.

Is it a big problem for items going missing in Singapore or is it just zavvi stuff?

I've had a jumper never turn up, I ordered it from theHut, which is the cousin of Zavvi. I got an immediate refund from them, but that's the worse that's happened to me from Zavvi/theHut.

I've had a few packages going missing from online stores, but I suspect a few of them were never sent in first place. One of them was Bioshock 2 special Edition from Thehut and it never arrived. The same thing happened to a friend that lives close by. It's rare to have a package going missing but it happens every now and then...

I have had a lot of items shipped to me from all over the world. All have arrived safely. Even the items I shipped out have all been received pretty quick. So I would think our postal system is pretty reliable.

It's only items from zavvi that don't arrive. And many people here have the same issue from thehut and zavvi. So the problem is either with them or the cheap courier company they use.
