chris talpas Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I was greeted this morning (Monday) with a package at my doorstep. I can report that my two copies of CMBB arrived in Mississauga, Ontario safe and sound. Luckily Canada Customs allowed this package to pass unmolested. My order number was 80675. Now to install the software. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Guys, If by the end of the third week from the time of your order you have not received it, let us know. There is only a slim chance it would show up after this time. Also guys who placed their orders as of last Friday are on backorder until probably this Friday. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdGunner Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Go figure! I take 3 lousy days off to go Moose hunting down here in NB last week, and what arrives the first day I'm gone, you guessed it my copy of the game. So it sat on my desk since Thursday, while I was out getting wet and miserable while looking for that ever evasive moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, SteveDoes that back order situation stand for the Mac Version as well?? Since there are two different versions is hard for me to believe the Mac version is now back ordered? :confused: -tom w P.S. personally I don't care I preordered my Mac version on the first available day of preorders. pre order # 80611 [ October 01, 2002, 08:41 AM: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwcanuck Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Howdy! Got my 2 copies of CMBB yesterday. Luckily I had the $25.68 the postman wanted from me. Exact change or no package. Outrageous how much the government slaps on for duty and taxes. I got this note inside my package which explains why it is taking so long for our copies to arrive here in Canada: "YOUR PACKAGE HAS BEEN EXAMINED because a declaration was not found on the outside or because the declaration was incomplete. To expedite future shipments, please advise your exporter to provide a declaration that includes the value and complete description of the contents" I will have to let Battlefront know about this. Hope the rest of you guys get your copies soon... Rob Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Tom, no... the Mac version is still in stock. Rob, I think it sounds like either the declaration ripped off the pacakge during transit or the Customs folks decided to have a peek on their own. Then they saw your receipt, took out their nasty calculator (man, that is a LOT of duties!!! Holy Cow!) and beat you over the head with it.

Since we have already bought our games, we will sooner or later get the printed manual and electronic ones on CDROM as well. So why can't they just send the manual files to us as an apeasement and at least let us prepared ourselves better for the incoming endless, bloody battles? BTS have already provided some other uninstallable files for users to download, so it is quite justified for them to email manual to us poor whiners.
