Jagdratt Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Well a three day Telus ADSL outage has prevented me from posting. My Mac CD - order number 90559 on September 18 - arrived on October 1 in Surrey - a suburb of Vancouver. The $5 software declaration for customs was still attached, and I wasn't charged anything additional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactical Wargamer Posted October 4, 2002 Author Share Posted October 4, 2002 Well I received a Fed EX parcel receipt yesterday. I can only assume that this is an emergency replacement disk for my defective CD that I could not run at all. If so that is a fantastic response to my problem (3days). This company certainly keeeps its word. I just hope they BLAST their manufacturing company they contracted out the duplication of the CD's too. Anyways Bravo BATTLEFRONT for the second to none customer service!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tianshu Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Just got my Bundle Pack from local Shopper's Drug Mart. Now installing CMBB ans it DOES take very long. BTS declared my mail as US$5 worth SOFTWARE(!). However, Canada Customs didn't believe that. So they checked and decided "Value for Duty" is $40, so Duty is0, GST is $2.8 but Handling Fee is $5.0. So I paid $7.8 ransom. I must say that it's quite unfair for me to blame Canada Customs and Canada Post early this week. Actually they did a very good job this time and almost no delay at all on my mail. I got my package almost 1 week late simply because it stayed somewhere for a whole week. Best wishes to all you guys who are still crossing your fingers. Everyone would be satisfied soon, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notalex Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 So, would it be rude of me to mention that it showed up in the middle of ferking nowhere on the praires the morning of Monday the 30th? [[Eek!]] And that there were no customs charges for the 2xCM:BB and TacOps 4 in the package? [[Cool]] --------------- Well, I can tell you that Edmonton, Alberta, is tonight a dark, cold and lonely place. Not like that's unusual, but if I had the game I wouldn't tend to notice. Ah well, I'll put my feet up for the weekend and listen for the postman on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roborat Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Well, all you fellow Canadian CM types, you can now kick my ass on both fronts now. My copy arrived on October 3, in Leduc, Alberta (look at a map). I particularly liked that $5 value and gift declaration, it got my copy through the customs gauntlet unscathed, Thanks Battlefront. I guess I should have ordered Tacops4 at the same time, but I am still hoping the Army buys copies so I can get it that way (I'm such a cheap b*****d sometimes). Unfortunately I had to go to Wainwright to freeze my ass off this weekend, and haven't had any time to play it, but I did install it with no problems, so I guess I avoided that potential headache. Hey Harv, send up setup, if you are so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Still nothing. This is becoming lame. Overnite delivery SHOULD be an option. Pre-ordering was a mistake I think. People who ordered Saturday have gotten their games, me, I pre-ordered on the 7th and still nothing. I hope its not lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
