Every carrier will attempt a delivery at home first. When did it ship? If you call them you can have them hold it at the facility but it takes 1-2 business days to communicate it. So it will likely attempt delivery at least once.

Purolator is by far the worst courier. I avoid them at all costs. They totally quit everytime we get even a little bit of snow, they don't move items from the truck until the next morning, and if you miss a friday you're screwed until Monday. Not to mention here we have 3 different Canada posts offices closer to me than the 1 purolator place that's down the highway 15 minutes. Oh, and it closes at 5pm. How freaking stupid is that. I wish places would stop using them.

you could probably give it a shot tonight and have a good chance, they just say tomorrow to be safe. i do that all the time with canada post, they say tomorrow after one, but most of the time i just go it later that day its there.

It likely is at the facility based on my experience
Yeah I've done that too with good success. I'll phone the local office and see if they can give me hope.
Update: So Purolator trucks go back to the 'depot' at the end of the night, packages are resorted and then put on one truck to be sent to the local office in the AM. I phoned and they assured me that the package should be there at 8AM when they open up.

Looks like Target will hit 20-40% starting tomorrow. Apple will go to 10%.

Amazon? And are they using UPS or Canada Post?

From when it went up earlier today?
Same location mine is coming from. Guess that's why they said it will be here next week.
Amazon using Canada Post.
No, from before.
Yeah, I was surprised before but it makes sense now.

Aww that's too bad. Amazon shipped out my final two
yesterday through UPS from BC to Scarborough, and they arrived today.

Mine came face down from Amazon too. Surprise they package them that way without extra padding on the bottom of the box. Glad I shipped it with another item though since it was undamaged.
Had mine from Mississauga. Kind of weird since I live in BC. They should probably ship closer to minimize damage.

Sold out by the time you tried?

yup, couldn't even add one to the cart, despite the site still looking like it was selling them.
Apple has been 10% since last week (but will remain there).
I have offered cocopuffs my Amazon copy for cost + shipping, just making sure we don't double offer or something

oh, awesome! glad to hear it, as long as someone helped him out. I try to help Gaffers when I can, but his story pissed me off to no end, so I wanted to make sure he got one haha.
You're a good man!

did you select that option? if so, i'd chat with them and complain. it's literally the service you're paying for.
edit sorry for two posts
<amazon laughs>
Yeah, it automatically selects the 2 day option for you. I'll definitely give them a call. My subscription runs out in a couple of weeks. If they expect me to renew, they should provide better service. I have been pretty happy with Prime before this.

I am a Prime member, they even upgraded mine to the super crazy express for free and it's schedule to arrive Thursday... Shipped earlier today.

I have Prime and my The Order Collectors Edition shipped out this afternoon and is supposed to be here tomorrow. So that is odd.
Call them!

If anyone notices the Hori RAP 4 Kai coming up on amazon.ca, please post as soon as you see it! Thank you!
Just ordered mine off.com since I'm impatient. Damn EVO.

Absolute garbage.
I appreciate that you pointed to off.com but i'm not sure they sell arcade sticks. Do you have a listing link?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Ok, so Amazon.ca sent me an email regarding my MM LE order. Apparently, my cc info was wrong
and I updated it, but now I'm wondering if that means that it's close to shipping. Has anyone received shipping notifications for their MM LE's?
it was, lol
Yeah, my second copy (for Kuro) shipped today from BC and the expected delivery date is Tuesday here in Toronto.

Well, that sucks.
Just in case anyone was keeping an eye out for it:
You can preorder xenoblade chronicles for the n3dsxl from ebgames and gamestops in Canada for $44.99. But you can only do it in-store for some reason (there is still no online listing for it).

That's like saying Monolith isn't Nintendo.
But regardless, Purolator is owned by the same entity that owns Canada Post, CBC, etc., which is the Federal Government of Canada.

I guess I'm going in store to do this tomorrow!
