yeah unless it is saturday delivery UPS stuff will sit idle until monday

And this is why I wished more companies would use FedEx. I always have anxiety when UPS is used to ship things I order, ESPECIALLY expensive stuff. They were good until a few years ago, and that's when they started doing really badly.

Wait, was it supposed to come with key chains??!?

I didn't get any and I picked it up at gamestop

What am I missing??

Yeah; if you preordered both versions, or the special edition, you should have gotten the keychains.

Missing the keychain that was a preorder bonus.

Omg..... They better have my key chain then

 

[AEREC]

Holy shit, Amazon shipped my copy. And seemingly put overnight shipping on it because it's coming today by 8 PM. I'm honestly shocked. I figured I'd wait a few weeks and then just get a cancellation email.

I take back everything I said about you, Amazon.

Hoping amazon does the same for me...but it hasn't happened yet.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Omg I called gamestop and they were telling me that marketing was very specific that you have to buy both versions of the game

I was like bruh, I walked out of your store with 3 (all) versions of the game pretty much, the fact that it's in one cartilage and not two different physical copies does not matter

Then he was like... Well I have some left over, if you happen to pass by and I have some left...

-.-

But I'm currently stuck at work....

I better get my key chain somehow after getting the special edition....

If I knew, I would have asked/fought for it yesterday.... Yikes

 

[Thoraxes]

Last activity was it left Illinois at around 1 PM their time. No update since, so my package is in the ether somewhere. And I don't think UPS updates that shit on weekends.

Goddammit.

UPS tendered off my Amazon SE to my local post office at about 8AM today.

I live on the Southside of Chicago.

They sent out keychains with the SE as well; that guy was bullshitting you. Either he or some other person working there wants the keychains, obviously.

Well, that's... comforting, I guess. Well, it may say it departed Illinois, but my gut says it's still there.

 

[Megawarrior]

I haven't heard back from Best Buy since the $20 coupon mail but I just received a nice Email from Amazon.

Yeah same. I might end up keeping this one for a friend

I'm reading the promo/marketing online and it does indeed say get 3 character key chain when you pre order BOTH conquest and birthright

Regardless, the special edition had both ssoooo...

And I pre ordered

I really want my keychains, hopefully I'm not too late when I get off work

 

[L95]

I didn't get keychains either for my SE, but I already own the keychains I want because I ordered some from Japan.

It is kinda dumb, though. I'll ask later, but it's really low priority for me.

 

[AEREC]

Cool..just got the email from Amazon that my CE copy should be arriving tuesday.

 

[xXCrazyCostaXX]

Just got my confirmation from Amazon. 23rd it looks like. All and all I got $40 off the SE and $40 credit so I can't complain. Stoked that I'm getting it

 

[epmode]

The special edition print run is ridiculous. I'd like to play Fates but there's no way I'm getting locked into Nintendo's awful digital distribution network for the other paths. I'm also not going to pay TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DOLLARS for a scalped copy.

So I guess I won't be playing Fates.

I don't even care about the artbook or that fancy 3DS bag. I just want a physical copy of Revelation.

I just want my fucking game I ordered 4 months ago.

 

[Kitoro]

Woke up to my order still stuck in preparing for shipping.

Starting to wonder if updating my address 24 hours ago ended up slowing mine down..?

 

[epmode]

Same. I'm digital-only for basically every platform but Nintendo's.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Yea, the main reason I want it is because all versions are on one cart includingn DLC.

I don't even expect it to ship today. The worst part is if I buy a digital copy there is no way to transfer my save to the cart. Otherwise I would go ahead and pick up a digital version and start playing.

 

[JEKKI]

aw man, it is a brand new day.

Saturday, Feb 20, 2016.

my BB order is still stuck in "order is being prepared"

no magical 2:30am email like everyone else got.

order details still read order is going to be ready after Feb 19th,

and I am still waiting

will I get an update today?? who knows!!!

 

[Basileus777]

I just want to know if BB is going to ship my order at all. A delay of a few more days is the least of my concern as it has already missed the weekend when I would have had time to play it.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Yeah I'm not expecting my copy to ship. Amazon seems to be allergic to shipping games on Fri
Friday on my behalf.

 

[Sora_N]

My tracking shows yesterday was delivery. No update at all about where it is...so annoyed.

 

[Briarios]

Mine just arrived today from Amazon -- FedEx overnight like some of the other posters. It originated in California yesterday, so they really must have just received them. Most my Amazon pre-orders originate on the East coast.

I have to admit, though ... I'm tempted to sell it and rebuy it digital. I don't have a ton of money for games, and I'd literally be able to get all of Fates, another 3DS game, and a PS4 game. I'm trying to remain strong ...

 

[Nori Chan]

Somehow I missed it being sold yesterday? damn daniel

 

[Kaibutsu]

Reverse cover with autograph? Wow!

edit: Amazon also sent in just a bubble envelope but luckily there was no damage

 

[1upsuper]

I ordered a copy from Amazon during that brief window in the middle of the night a couple nights ago. I just got an email saying they now have a delivery estimate for my order: March 9th-16th. Am I likely to actually get this or am I going to end up with a canceled order?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Reverse cover with autograph? Wow!

That's pretty awesome, will have to flip my cover.

 

[scurker]

My order is still in "Preparing your item for shipping" since yesterday morning and I haven't gotten any further updates from Best Buy. Anyone else in the same boat? At this point I just want to know that I'm getting my order. Does Best Buy even package online orders on the weekend?

Yep, I emailed customer service, they said it'll get to me by the end of next week, not very helpful.

 

[DeuceGamer]

I really don't think they know and are simply guessing. They told me it would ship each day since Thursday. It's been preparing to ship for well over 24 hours now. Beyond concerned at this point.

I'm in that boat too. I'm going to call them up today to complain. Their email yesterday said they'd ship it yesterday.

 

[Jupiter_Shrooms]

Yep, same here. Really regret shopping with best buy now. Either cancel my order or ship it. It's the not knowing that sucks

 

[SCChappy]

Guys I already called them. They'll just say the same things we've already heard.

 

[Sora_N]

I'm making my way just to my work area to pick up FE. I'm not that far but it's still a trip for me to have to basically head near work.

 

[jack_package_200]

Just completed Chapter 9 of Birthright at about 5.5 hours.

Game is fun so far. It has good feel.

Also at an A Rank with Felicia. Gotta A Rank others before I choose a spouse.

 

[Delio]

Now mine has changed to shipping today. I honestly hope it's right. It's supposed to get here by Tuesday :/

 

[Drilbit777]

My order is still stuck at preparing to ship... At least Best Buy is somewhat compensating people for delaying the orders even if its still pretty shitty. :/

This is how I will be playing.

Got my Walmart SE in today. Came in a really thin bubble mailer, the top of the box is pretty badly creased. Corners are also a bit damaged up, but no where near as bad as the crease. Wish it came in a box instead.

Sadly most retailers have no clue nor care that these are special, rare products. Thats why I chose store pickup from BB. I don't trust them, or most stores, to give a damn about shipping these sorts of things properly.

Mine came in a bubble envelope and was perfect. I expected damage lol.

You couldn't expect them to care when they get paid shit. When I worked retail i tried not to damage the products because I'm a gamer and collector too or else I wouldn't give a shit either

How did you get the option for store pickup? I tried choosing that when I ordered it for best buy and it wouldn't let me since it said my store doesn't carry it.

 

[DecoReturns]

Mines just arrived 3 days ealier then expected. That's weird.

 

[mrmickfran]

I lost interest in Fates, so I cancelled my preorder in case someone else wanted to play it.

Now that I'm looking at those online prices:

 

[SCChappy]

Still nothing. Thanks Best Buy.

I had a similar experience with Amazon.

 

[SCChappy]

Called a rep, didn't know anything. I'm 85% sure I'm not going to get it at all.

 

[Therealbeatris]

ended up purchasing Conquest on the eshop, that way it would fit nicely on my 3ds next to awakening.

have not had the chance to boot it up though, expecting good things.

 

[MrNelson]

Anyone gonna join me in checking GameStops in the morning?
