Andreas Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Sorry mate, but you won't get it on 20th September, unless you fly over to Steve's house. Have you ever heard of shipping times? Especially in the UK at the moment. My guess is that despite all the complaints, 4th October will not be that far off, and maybe earlier than getting it from the US including shipping times - ISTR that I waited about 12 days for CMBO to arrive after the fulfilment house started working. Which would make it what? 2nd October? Unless someone here has found a way to beam it over. This is getting a bit silly, not? Matter of fact, I am still waiting for my copy of Private Eye, which I should have received last Wednesday. Yep, the Royal Mail does the UK proud again.

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Please refrain from using massive numbers of exclamation points in your thread titles. At first glance I thought Madmatt was telling us something important, such as the game was being shipped today or somefink. Please do not abuse the Madmatt Urgency Broadcast System.

Battlefront.com Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Yeah, what Andreas said. Nobody is getting their copy on Sept 20th from us (at least) because that is the day we start shipping. Some lucky SOBs will get theirs on the 21st (a Saturday), but most will not really hit until the end of the following week. And don't bother flying to my house, 'cuz I don't stock the stuff here And yes... if you want to order through someone in the US, there is no problem with that. However, you most likely will be able to get the CDV version from a local UK retailer earlier and cheaper. They are now saying Oct 4.

There is a way to get it across the pond within a few 2-3 days but it would cost around an extra $12-14. I am doing this for 2-3 people so far and we've worked out a deal where they simply order it themselves and ship it to my house in the USA. I turn around and priority fedex it to them across the pond (around $12-14) and they repay the shipping cost by purchasing something for me on Amazon.com for me. :cool: -john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Steve, doesn't Priority Mail service from the USPS mean 1-3 days delivery time in the US? If CMBB ships on Friday, 9/20, wouldn't it arrive at most US destinations by Tuesday, 9/24 at the latest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 That could be 1-3 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Originally posted by Captain Wacky: That could be 1-3 business days.I was counting Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday as the three days. I send mail from LA to NY on a regular basis and it never takes more than two or three days, with or without priority mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epée Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I have moved to Ozzieland since I got CMBO. Realistically, based on your prior experience buying this game, how long do you really think it will take for my pre-oredered copy of CMBB get here? 2 weeks? 4 weeks?

Speedy Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 It took about 2 weeks for CMBO to get here. However it only took 1 week for Strategic Command to get here. So hopefully it will only take about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrewolf Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think saturday count as business day for USPS and my general rule for USPS priority is 1 day from same city, 2 days from same state or adjacent states, 3 days from the outer states. Oh and I think they do deliver on Sunday for overseas express mail, was I suprised when they ring my doorbell on a Sunday morning.

Bog Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 A question. I ordered CMBB via check, which means I mailed the check on Saturday. Will I still recieve the game on the 21st, or a few days after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitz Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think some people here in the UK and Mainland Europe are getting a bit over excited about this. After all it's only 2 weeks we are taking about, not 2 months, not 2 years. Don't forget there are some (small I admit)advantages to this. For instance new mods and scenarios for cmbb will, I'm sure be out there in many different websites and ready for downloading by the time the game can be bought here. Chill out people, no point getting a heart attack over something that can't be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cull Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Yeah! And I want it delivered by my very own porn star. As long as she stays out of the way as I hurtle toward my computer, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audace Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 My 2 copies(One for my brother too, who's an Officer) of CMBO came really fast indeed. Any of you know a good British web-site that is selling CMBB through Europe? [ September 13, 2002, 07:47 PM: Message edited by: audace ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
