Weird shipping stories:

1) Quantum Break didn't get shipped out from Amazon until Sunday, and arrived yesterday. Meanwhile, Ratchet & Clank shipped out yesterday and arrived today. I figured Quantum Break was held back to group with Ratchet, but no. Weird.

2) I ordered some CDs from Amazon.co.jp for the first time ever. They shipped on Sunday and arrived TODAY. Amazon.co.jp can ship CDs to me FROM JAPAN in less time than Amazon.ca takes to even package up and send out a pre-order.

Yeah I got on eBay big time for like a year, after noticing JP game stuff shipped faster than anything locally.

Then suddenly Jan 2016 everything slowed to a crawl. Had one package arrive in 3 days, and another three packages take 40+ days. JP shipping is so random now.

Maybe Amazon is better because they have a dedicated shipper/preclearance of some kind.

My ratchet PO hasn't shipped yet, been "preparing to ship" for three days now lol.

Sorry to hear that fellow Canadian brother. Hopefully a good Jays season and new games can provide some joy.

Thanks, guys. It's been hard, and it still hasn't fully sunk in. She wasn't even 60 (mid-50s), was the greatest mom ever, and I'm not even 30. It's not fucking fair.

Just caught up on the thread. My condolences, Chewie.

There have been some scares with both my parents recently. I'm becoming all too aware of their mortality, and it's not easy. Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 (thankfully she seems to have recovered), and my dad has been having a bunch of health issues in the last few months. I feel for you man. It's scary stuff.

I've been through pretty much the exact same thing. It's tough. Stay strong and hang in there.

The Amazon saga continues. Didn't get the package with DS3 and RC today, despite being told earlier that I would receive it today for sure, as it had shipped yesterday.

I contacted them, said that I was told it shipped yesterday, was immediately told that the order was still processing and would ship tonight, then transferred to a supervisor (I didn't even complain or anything, it was super swift).

Supervisor sounded either rude / irritated or it was just a language barrier thing, but he told me Amazon doesn't ship past 6 pm, so both of my previous CSRs were wrong. The package will ship tomorrow morning and will arrive around Friday, said "please understand, thank you" and disconnected.

Meanwhile, Amazon still says it's "shipping now", with a delivery estimate of... today.

And my invoice shows the order twice, one scheduled to ship with Intelcom, and one scheduled to ship with Canada Post Forwarding (???).


What a mess. I have no idea what's going on.

Sorry to hear about that chewie. My boss recently passed away (he was the grandfather I never had) so I know you're in for a rough time. Keep your head up and know things will get better.

If you're in Toronto and want to grab a beer with a fellow late 20s(29) gaffer hit me up.

Threaten to leave negative feedback. I've heard that sellers are terrified about getting them.

I assume you've contacted AliExpress as well? File a chargeback as a last resort.

I actually live in Whitby which is about an hour East of Toronto. Maybe you're closer then you think?


Or further...

Is "shipping today" on Amazon supposed to mean something? Now day 2 of it saying that.

Usually means it is shipping on that day...

Usually.

On that subject, my Bravely Second just changed to:

Arriving Friday
Being shipped today

Condolences, Chewie.

Best Buy actually followed through with its promise

Same here. Is anyone else still waiting on Dark Souls and Ratchet to ship? I have priority shipping and it STILL hasn't.
