That really doesn't make sense to me, since they paid the same. Pre-ordering didn't do me any good in terms of delivery, and it's frustrating to have a guy in the same town who ordered 3 weeks ago get it and not me. But I wouldn't feel any better knowing that HE didn't get one. Another day or two wouldn't be so bad after all this, if I wasn't leaving town early tomorrow and I live in an apartment with a little mail box and the manager's office here won't accept packages anymore and I won't be back until Sunday night and...

jackhammer Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 what i'm saying is that we who ordered last year should have had a better chance of getting the game first.the fact the everybody paid the same amount is irrelevent. the main reason i preordered so early was to ensure i got the game as soon as it was released and bts has made several statements to that effect.again why preorder so early if every order goes out not only at the same time but the same shipping method. thus it does not matter when you ordered your order has been treated the same regardless of when you ordered. how would you like to stand in line at the bank or a resturant and someone who has just walked thru the door gets served before you? you probably would'nt be very happy.

Goanna Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Ah, but on that theory, BTS would have had to spend a lot of extra dosh to make sure that I got my early preoder by international mail earlier than folks in the US who just ordered. Based on how the USPS handles mail (above) and the number of preorders (which only BTS know) I suspect that all of them got moved out of their office between day 1 and 3, so it all has to do with the idiosyncrosies of the USPS. I am just hoping I am not the absolute last person to get their hands on my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcorkill Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Double whammy here. My mother of all people convinced me not to preorder in November, turns out at christmas she gave me the confirmation letter. (Nice touch) So today, getting worried, I had her call the bank, turns out her credit card HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED. She emailed them today. So if you have NOT checked your cc company, do so, I am sadistically hoping I am not the only one who slipped through the cracks. yours &c, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freyland Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I am a physician. I was to be stuck in an Urgent Care clinic tonight until 11:00 I was sure CM would be here today. I worked like mad to find someone to cover for me. I failed. Required beta-blocker to self-medicate the anxiety. Wife pages me: No CM Physician, Heal thyself.

Eric Alkema Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 My blankety blank roommate got his copy yesterday and still nothing. Bloody USPS. Rube Goldberg would be proud. I just checked my credit card and it was charged back on the 15th so the USPS must be taking mine via the scenic route. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka10165 Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Has anyone in NY gotten their pre-orders? I read a couple of years ago that the postal service in Westchester County (where I live) has just about the lowest on time delivery rate in the country. Guess they haven't corrected the problem yet.

Holman Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Just for the record, I'm out of town right now while my copy of CM sits in my box at my hometown post office. I don't know whether to feel secure now that it has arrived, or frustrated that I can't play it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutbolHead Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I know I'm not getting mine anytime soon, my credit card hasn't even been charged yet. Geez, this friggin wait is driving me crazy... Can anyone at Big Time tell us if the pre-orders are all out the door yet? Are you shipping new orders yet? VernS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAEZ Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Well, I'm in New England ordered the game back in September99 and no CM yet. I don't blame BTS.I know they would do anything in their power to get us the game soon,But I have to agreed with some of the post,where people who ordered a couple of weeks ago have the game and people like us don't.We know how reliable Bts is and that is why I take their word.......It sure be nice to have the game by weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWACTON Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Remember, troops, your copies of CM are now in the hands of the USPS, and they are run by the same folks who brought you Social Security, misplaced hard drives containing nuclear secrets, the Vietnam War and $200 screwdrivers.

Danno Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 You're right Joe, it is comforting that neither of us have CM yet. I hope we both get it on the same day or one of us will REALLY start to worry. It will probably come tomorrow because I'll be away from my mailbox all day. I may try and sneak home for a few minutes to get the mail.. But then again...if it's not here tomorrow...oh nevermind, I'm going to make myself crazy..errr, more crazy. ------------------ "It's a hardball world son.
