Ni No Kuni Collector's Edition for EU/NA [failure level well beyond critical mass]

:eek: I just got a shipping confirmation email! Maybe they're slogging through the Ni no Starter orders now, lol. Though the UPS link for me [sent through the email, using the same reference #] still shows "Label Created" stuff, on the Bandai shop side the Order Status says "Order Complete" and Order Details show "Quantity shipped: 1" ALL SIGNS POINT TO YES BUT I'M STILL WORRIED .______.;
 
Well I called and talked to them. From the sounds of it if you tell them you got an email saying you are assured a copy they will reorder it for you. I opted not to do this because it means your stealing someone elses copy or they will catch it before it ships anyway. Apparently they have no way to check what email they sent you. This company is a joke I just wish they would stop ignoring it.

Why they can't make new order by mail. I can't call them even if I get this mail. How I will call them?

I need to know this too, as I only paid for like, $4 shipping when the WE was first made available to Canada and didn't care that it was most likely wrong, as long as I got my pre-order in XD

YessSSsSssS.

Any reason to believe this won't be for all Canadian orders? I can't call now as I'm at work but I could try later unless there's no point.

I got an order in when shipping was something like $4, just called UPS and they confirmed that there is no brokerage fee.

unfuckingbelieveable

Checked my spam folder, and got the cancellation email. How does one get refunded through a debit card through paypal?

They will issue a refund and Paypal will debit whichever account you used to perform the transaction.

If after a few days you don't have a refund issued, open up a dispute with PayPal showing them the email you received as proof.
 
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got my shipping confirmation! And yet, I only feel like that's half the battle haha

I'm in Newfoundland, btw

Interesting: my CC has still not been charged anything. UPS still only has shipping label

wat.
 
So, do these guys operate on weekends? If UPS gets the package, say, tomorrow.

If they have the package, are they open on a weekend for pickup?

Do I need to request a pickup or can I just waltz right in?

I am pretty much free until Sunday, so if I can play this this weekend it'd be great

They shipped from D.R yesterday, so when should I expect it to get to Canada?

I know I'm being impatient and others here have more pressing matters, so I apologize, but I'd like to jump to the NNK O.T already

Phew! Just got my Shipping email as well! Now I can breathe a sigh relief.

The status shows my WE just a few states over and is scheduled to be delivered by tomorrow. Yea!

My desire to play this game at all has completely deflated. I know its not Leve 5's fault but my god.

If it does not come, i will simply get the Japanese version for my 3DS and get both the book and the 2D art world i prefer by far

And obviously will skip PS3 version, maybe if it gets down to 10$-20$ will consider it

Mine got cancelled, of course, despite ordering 2 minutes after noon when they said they were offering it up again. What a load of horseshit.

I bought the game yesterday via PSN download, because I want to play it, but I'll for sure never order anything from these fuckers again.

Why aren't they just printing more? The reviews and popularity seem to show it would be worth the effort and money to make a few thousand more copies.

You can use that to get your tracking number from UPS. Estimated delivery for mine is Feb 2nd and I'm in NL too! We need a NewfieGAF thread lol.

Probably cause the lead time would be crazy. If they offer to reprint we would prob have to wait 6-8 months for a new shipment. Probably not worth it to them either smaller print runs are a lot more expensive. We probably have a better chance of just getting copies from another region without the ninostarter extras. My guess is that we are SOL.

I would never play this game if they dont deliver on my Wizard edition

It is not like the last game on earth or something, will simply go replay Lost Odyssey and wait for Bravely Default or get the DS edition in Japanese

Normally for those that pre-ordered and never got the game, should provide a free downloadable version as the very least compensation for our trouble, time and frustration

I did a shipping estimate on UPS.com, from TN to Montreal, it would arrive on Wednesday January 30th using UPS Standard.

Man I'm weirded out now. No emails regarding cancellation or shipping but my shipping label was printed out yesterday and the package hasn't been shipped yet. I'm in limbo.

Well, I got a shipping confirmation now.... but still have all of my money, the UPS tracking still shows it hasn't shipped, and I really still have no idea what is happening.

So, I could buy the steelbook off a friend for $20...I'm curious how much I could fetch with a Wizard Edition + Guide + Steelbook combo off eBay. I don't want to resell, but I feel so bad keeping it considering it's worth so much. ;_;

I'm not going to resell...just don't really want to deal with the hassle of reselling stuff. I'm just curious as to how much I would fetch.

You could probably get $450 for it at the present moment.

So I called again. Now I'm cancelled. These people have no earthly idea what they are doing. Twice today I was told my order was fine. I called a third time after reading some other posts, and she said I am in fact cancelled. What sucks is I really want the game, and I can't even go buy it because namco has my money. They said I'm not getting a refund FOR 7-10 DAYS!!! Does anyone have the coupon code and not plan to use it? That way I could deflect the cost a bit :( pm me if you have a code you aren't gonna use and don't mind sharing.

Seems like people's shipping confirmation emails are just starting to roll in. I'll keep my fingers crossed, even though I tried tracking it on UPS and came up with nothing. =/

Just got my shippping confirm (Sept. reorder), should be here tomorrow. Ordered the guide from BN for ~$23 under the assumption same day delivery in Manhattan would acrually work, but it looks like that's not coming until tomorrow either.

Damn

Is it really nearing that now?

Saw one WE + guide combo sell for $510 yesterday. Seemed to be a bit of an outlier though...price seems to be mostly in $300-400 range from what I've seen so far. Haven't seen a combo with the game, guide, and steelbook though.

I haven't gotten any emails from DR or Namco whatsoever. My order status page says "order processing."

I ordered in early August.

I just checked the UPS page with my order number (track by reference). And it says a label has been created.

Haven't called DR and am not too worried about it - but just wanted to put my experience in for others.

WE is going for about $290 now
Steelbook alone is going for 40-50
And the CE book is $25-30

And beware selling on eBay. lol Better pay for the best possible tracking courrier you can.

Have no intention of selling or buying the WE, have my own coming in. Just pisses me off on these prices. I understand they are out to make money, but this is fucking ridiculous.
