daveiw Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hello to all, particularly our American cousins. I was wondering whether anyone in the US would be kind enough to order a copy of CMBB and forward it to me in the UK on release? There I've said it now. If anyone would seriously consider this act of kindness, please email me and let me know? PS September the 20th REALLY is my birthday, so please help? MTIA, Dave.

Ex Bellator Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hi Dave. John aka Tiger is arranging my copy. The technique we are using is for me to purchase the game from BFC with my C/C and ship it to his home address. He then forwards it to me & I order him goods to be delivered to him from Amazon (US) to the equivalent value of his postage costs. He works for Fed-Ex and anticipates the shipping to be $14, he gets a staff discount and will forward it priority mail. Your can mail him at jshki@bellsouth.net, I'm sure he'll help.

Blow2 Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 The game is out on October 4 (official) everywhere, so what's the problem? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think the problem is everyone in the UK listening to 2 weeks of posts going "Game is Brilliant", "Game is Great", "Who wants to play me on scenario XXXX" and chewing through their keyboards in frustration I can wait, like everyone else. I just don't want to - again, like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSober Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 You can always order it from here It might get to you a bit quicker from France than from the States. Just don't forget to indicate that you want the English language version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Check me if I'm wrong here but I don't figure to be holding the game in my hands on Sept. 20th. I thought that was the ship date if everything goes perfectly. Which would have it in my hands about 2 weeks later (CM:BO is used as my gage) which would be.....Oct. 4th.

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Elvis, if the game is actually mailed on 9/20 you should have it by 9/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Pvt Ryan, I agree but that's not the way CM:BO worked out. Not complaining..just pointing out that was the turn around from ship date to receipt with a preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Yeah I'm doing this for Rex_Bellator aka Gary S. and David H. in the UK. I expect it will take 3-4 days once the orders get shipped to arrive and I will turn around and fedex priority them either that day or the next (won't get my mail till I get off work late). The cost of shipping is @ 13 or so $ for international priority. I've got one more possible Brit doing this (Dave W.) and this is all I'll probably do for now. regards, John [ September 12, 2002, 11:09 PM: Message edited by: Tiger ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I'm going to wait for my UK release version. Already pre-ordered online (via GAME) who have confirmed the 4 Oct release date but say my copy will be sent out the day prior to release in the shops. I dont know what the US mail is like but as the 20th is a Friday I would imaging it will be Mon or prob Tues at the earliest before orders arrive in the US ... then re-addressing and posting to UK or european locations .... wouldnt imaging you would get it before 30 Sept at the earliest.

Ex Bellator Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 The main reason I want to pay a bit more is to get the US version, not to get it delivered early. I think that you're right, in terms of delivery dates it will be marginal if a US copy can get here before 4th Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveiw Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 I too would prefer a US copy, hence my post. John aka Tiger has very kindly agreed to forward the game to me. This just goes to show that (on the whole ) this is a friendly and I must add well informed group. Cheers, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I'm doing this as well for three guys. Contact me if something falls through with Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Steiner Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hi all This just goes to show that (on the whole ) this is a friendly and I must add well informed group. Yes I must agree as a number of US pals offered to buy or act as staging post for purchase of US version of CMBB. However my ancestral Scots blood got better of me and I decided to purchase the cheaper Cdv version Maybe we UK/Euros will be able to respond in kind when CDV releases the 'definitive' version of a game which our US consumers pals will just have to have as soon as possible prior to 'inferior' BTS release !! Cheers wishing it was October 4th already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitz Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Gary, I'm sorry to let the Scots blood down but I have pre-ordered and paid the extra for next day delivery from Game.uk. Mind you, my hands were shaking from the thought of actually having to open my wallet! Fitz Ballyclare Northern Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Steiner Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Hi Fitz Mind you, my hands were shaking from the thought of actually having to open my wallet! I have had Cmbb (sorry CM2) on order with SoftwareFirst.com (for what seems ages !) but still no firm date or price from them so I may go with Game also (much more sensible anyway as I have one of their discount cards). Ballyclare eh ? good school there (on Rashee Road) of which I am a product (now well past sell by date though) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audace Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 You're worried if you're getting the game in the UK by October 4th! Damn, I really don't know when it's gonna come out here in Italy. Probably, we have to wait till mid october. :confused: Quite depressing... I won't visit the forum from September 20th on, so I'll try to be as cool as possible.

fitz Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi Gary, sorry, made a bit of a b*llocks of the last post. Anyway as I was going to say, It's a small world isn't it! I went there too. Hated it mind. I saw from your profile the year you were born, sorry had to pry. You might have been in the same year as my brother, Glenn Robinson. If you knew Glenn then don't hold that against me.

Sgt Steiner Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi Fitz You might have been in the same year as my brother, Glenn Robinson. Name rings a bell (but then so does Quasimodo ) I wonder does he remember me !? If he was on Rugby/Athletics/Basketball Teams then I would definately have known him (I would do anything to get out of class ) I do remember a Richard Robinson (a local BClare personage) any relation ? Strange that we live a few miles apart with excellent telephone and road system but end up corresponding on this board, the joys of the internet eh !?
