Hell, I hope so! Bit too much of a conincidence with that New Caledonia thing. Nik

Weta, thats a bit of a worry because I had exactly the same problem with an earlier purchase (for Dragoon). Was originally sent to New Caledonia. I emailed Battlefront and they indicated I had placed that Country on my order. So, it might just be a accidental point on the mouse - is New Caledonia just before NZ on the order form??? Either that or it was a packaging error - I always thought that I would pick that up when I checked my order. I can't believe I did that again - I bloody well hope not. I contacted BTS on Saturday, but have not heard anything back as yet. I wish something would arrive - it is making me exceedingly grumpy! Nik

Yip, Monday has long gone for me as well. I think I'm in the same boat as Titan - well the game is anyway. I hope it did not sink! And I had no problem with VISA. Cheers Nik...who will mosey off home for lunch to check the mail for what seems like 100th time.

Um...think I just might PD. It just might have turned a wrong corner somewhere. Cheers Nik

Fellas, I kind of reckon that it is tied up in the post somewhere. Don't know if it is MIA, however, I think I will give it until Saturday and then contact BTS. Don't like to bother them too much as I imagine they will be sick to death with similar questions. Still, it has been well longer than usual postings and boy, it's starting to hurt. Just like Christmas morning when I was a kid... Nik

Oh, I can nearly answer my own question. Its Thursday and it aint at my house!

Lucky buggers...where on earth (literally) is my game? Nik

Milt and Rwald, I'm in two minds at the moment. I still think it is in transit, though with past experiences this year it would appear to be way way overdue. No more than two weeks for the other games that have come from the States (ordered about six this year from various sources including Battlefront.) I just hope it is still in transit and not lost or...mine was sent from the second batch published. Hope not the latter as I did preorder. Man there is nothing worse (game wise) than waiting round while everybody else is enjoying the game..... Nik [This message has been edited by nikib (edited 07-18-2000).]

Good idea Titan. Must start downloading the mods in preperation. Still no luck for me (Tuesday). It must be getting close to a month since the visa was attacked. Suppose it depends on when it was acutally sent (obviously!!!) Heres hoping for more luck tomorrow.... Nik

Gramps Was it really posted on the 13th of this month!!! If it was - stuff. Did you pre-order? I still have not even had a whiff of it and my Visa was charged the middle of last month. Hells bells...this is the longest any game has taken (other than the one that was lost). Are you south of the Bombay Hills? Cheers Nik who is starting to get really brassed off.

Result never in doubt! Good on ya AB's. Nik

Well, its Saturday. The big day. Toddy will do the damage (28-15 to the ABs)and I will pop out to the mail box and there will be one CM, nicely packaged, and waiting be wolloped. ...perhaps not...least I know the Toddy will deliver! Nik And you bloody Aussies...I know we thumped you guys in something last year...um...skiing perhaps...who cares about World Cups!! [This message has been edited by nikib (edited 07-14-2000).]

Damn, no luck Friday. I'm starting to get a bit niggly now.

Johnsog, Um well yeah...what can we say...other than I hope a copy is lodged in the Bledisloe Cup as we will be bringing that home with us on Saturday after the game!!!!

Well, Thursdays lunch has been and gone. Still no game...though...my girl friend got her equestrian montly magazine - great - not. No Mark Todd quips please - they have been banned by the aforementioned young lady from our household. Nik

Pre Ordered late 99 or early this year Credit card - actioned 15th Still waiting....

Well, getting back to the rugby, I think my 10 bucks is pretty safe. Well I hope so. I need a few good All Black wins to get all the money I lost with our director on the cricket this year! Nik who will be home for lunch again today (Thursday)...

Yip, I think we owe the Aussies a thing or too. Plus I've got 10 bucks on the ABs with our Canadian/Australian director. So gooo BLACKS.... I see Kronfield has been dropped for Robertson. Anyway, back to the business at hand. Still no sight of the bloody thing. Perhaps Thursday...???? Nik

Crocky, your experience with the timing of the postage is similar to what I have had this year. It has been pretty quick, usually under two weeks. The quick postage is also one of the reasons why I have stopped purchasing from shops. Don't really mind paying a bit more for a recieving the game quicker. The last time I had a long wait was with a two month delay with West Front. That was lost in that case. Tends to defeat the purpose of preordering abit. It makes it worse when you see the good reviews. Hell I want mine. Nik [This message has been edited by nikib (edited 07-11-2000).]

Whoops [This message has been edited by nikib (edited 07-10-2000).] [This message has been edited by nikib (edited 07-10-2000).]

Titan and Milt..thank goodness...I thought I was the only one around that has not recieved a copy. I have ordered a number of games this year, from Battlefront and similar companies. They have not taken any more than a couple of weeks. Starting to grate abit, especially seeing the good reviews. Is there anybody else from NZ that has not got there copy yet? Suppose I will go home for lunch again tomorrow to check the post - ever hopeful. Nik

...Friday...nope ...Saturday...nope...

I knew it was the bloody Aussies. I hope, somehow, that you guys get hit with GST when CM comes into the country!!! I knew it, I knew it...

Stuff, Stuff, Stuff. Home for lunch again. Still no sign. Perhaps Friday??? Nik

I'm just worried I put the wrong address on the thing. The first time I ordered Dragoon I put New Caledonia on the address by accident!!! The funny thing was that it got to good old Christchurch with not much delay. Amazing.
