Canada Post told me the other day after I escalated it that someone messed up on the tracking scan and it is on a truck that should arrive in Toronto today. I hope he wasn't BSing and that's actually true. It's kinda my last hope of it not actually being lost.

I can't since my order was made on Futureshop.ca
It's probably out of print at this point.
Also it's a Sega-published game, not Nintendo (Sega owns the license for making Olympic Games video games).
It's Nintendo-published and was released five months ago. It would be incredibly strange to me if it wasn't reprinted.
It's unavailable right now though, unless you don't mind importing games for your region locked console or pay insane prices.

False, it's a nintendo-published game.
I don't understand how that much time can pass without the package being entered into the Canada Post system. It's just floating out in the ether somewhere or sitting in a ditch.
Yeah it's fucked up, get a hold of them on twitter or email. I tried waiting an hour over 2-3 calls and I ended up getting a response from them via the other two methods.

Maybe there should be a spinoff thread for shipping talk since at this point, there's more of it than there was amiibo talk when it was popular.

It's group therapy
Not like there's any worthy deals to talk about.

Well my FFV UCE arrived but I got slapped with customs. I ordered 2 so it was 106 dollars.
Combine that with the crappy dollar and it means I spent close to 1 grand on this whole thing. I dont think I'll be ordering anything from the square enix store in the near future.

...jesus fuck.
It's not bad until a massive game releases. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over anyway, we have a couple weeks until deals come back.
Nothing will ever be worse than peak Amiibo talk. Ever.
Damn, that's awful.

They stop shipping games all the time. Once that happens it can become hell to find Nintendo games at anywhere near reasonable prices. This happens on 3DS too.
What's their email? I just need to update the expiry date fro my credit card for an order.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
For real amiibo talk wasnt tolerated because it dominated discussions but shipping talk all day is fine.
Sorry guys but your Canada Post shipping status is useless to everyone else whereas amiibo availability was at least semi useful.
1 grand for 2 CE. Amazing
Me!!!!!!

$100 for every year he waited.

Damn it, Ventara 
I'd jump at that, but I doubt we'd be able to meet. I really want the game, but $90 is too much.

Happened to me on Saturday. I then got a rep who couldn't understand "I would like to update the exp on my credit card".
Gave up and waited 30 minutes again to get a rep who knew what they are doing.
customerservice@bestbuycanada.ca
twelp@bestbuycanada.ca - twitter one.
I don't know if they'll do anything CC related over email though, as that might be a security thing. I suppose you could tell them to call you.
They'll email you a return label, but it's a tossup on whether or not you pay to send it back; sort of depends on the reason you give them.
And I'd grab XV from you if I wasn't already waiting for mine lol.
Nobody would bother going to a "shipping-only" thread. People vent about it here because it's the only place that's guaranteed to be only populated with fellow Canadians whom they can share their pain with. Just like how it's also about venting about our shitty currency.
Amiibos were a tangible topic so it made sense to spin it out.

yep, mine arrived at my apartment in Vancouver this morning
Took a look at online postings for this, no kidding. Sochi at least dropped off in price by a bit, but this one is looking like it'll be the "Mario Sports Mix" of the Wii U.
I stand corrected. Seems it only recently changed.

Future Shop standard edition just showed. Still waiting for Canada Post's website to finally work to see where my Best Buy limited edition copy is.
Got mine a couple minutes ago, did you get yours?

More shipping talk. Had a bizarre live chat with Amazon.ca that lasted a whopping 46 minutes.
Apparently because I changed my phone number associated with my shipping address some time ago, it deactivated the shipping address for my open orders (ie. FFXV game and guide). Thus if I hadn't talked to a rep today, my orders would've been perpetually stuck in "preparing for shipment" despite my credit card being charged and receiving the DLC codes via email this morning.
I don't understand how this happened, given I never once touched or edited my pre-orders. Never got a prompt saying, updating X affects said order. But now things are updated to "not yet shipped" and are supposed to be shipping tomorrow with maybe expedited.
The worst, sorry to hear this.

Canada Post's site would hardly load at all yesterday.

All of Canada checking their FFXV shipping status at once can do that.
Probably because this thread is DDOS'ing it constantly

Can you please tell me what the UPC is for the regular edition if you dont mind?
Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks. Did your tracking ever update?
Canada Post just showed up, no FFXV.
Checked the Tracking:
I'm guessing it's not happening today (Amazon)
This is what my tracking looks like right now as well, and that it "left shipment facility" on Amazon.
If anyone cares, Amazon re-refunded my shipping costs (most of them...still paying for one, but fuck it I just don't care anymore) and shipped the game today so...that's all well and good now at least.

So I bought shoes from Asics Canada's website and for some reason they don't fit (they are the right size on paper).
I asked for an RMA and got it approved but I just realized that I have to pay the shipping back... This sucks... Don't online stores normally give you something like a prepaid Canada Post sticker when you have to do RMA?
Also I'm not sure in what I'm gonna ship the shoe box. The original packaging was some kind of shrink wrapped plastic and it's ripped out now.
