Anyone else have Culdcept Revolt pre-ordered? Wondering if I should cancel it or try it out as it'd be my first in the series.

Got it pre-ordered, but can't say much about it, this will be my first time trying the series. Decided to give it a shot after I saw some people on gaf giving the series high praise when the 3DS game was announced. Plus I got a double discount on my LE so that's hard to say no to.

The Cuphead funkos are up for preorder on EB Games now. They're adorable!

My UK SNES came. No customs. Woot!

It's because the Buy 3 Get 1 Free applies to any game that is $10 or more, even if you only trade in 1 or 2 games. So $10 games get bumped to 1/3rd of the new game price. This would have happened even if you didn't use the double trade promo.

Oh shit that's awesome. Thanks for explaining.

I am in the same boat. Shows "In-progress" but no update since Friday. You figure they would have had these all ready to go out on Friday but nope here we are still waiting.

I have had items from Wal Mart arrive without a shipping update (Those came after) so who knows.

Same with mine

Per @WalmartCanada

"Customers who successfully placed orders can expect to receive their Super NES in 3-10 days."

Orders with backorder notification: "Unfortunately, the customers who receive backorder notifications were not successful in placing the orders in time."

What does this even mean? Why would they accept orders if it was not in time? And why would they cancel instead of just fufilling when they get stock.

Mine's been sitting in an Amazon warehouse, and I've been told twice now that Intelcom has missed their pick-up of it two days in a row. And yet on the tracking shipment part of the order, it says it's in transit. Yay Intelcom!
Click to expand...

Update!

Looks like Intelcom "lost" my SNES Classic. So I won't be getting one!

Did you talk to Amazon? They should be able to ship you another when available, no?
Click to expand...

The dude said they aren't available anymore and so he just gave me a refund instead. I'm super disappointed, it said it shipped Saturday and would arrive Sunday, then yesterday I asked Amazon about it and they said it hadn't even shipped yet. Since it has an Intelcom tracking number, and now is missing (but according to Amazon never shipped yesterday), something bizarre must have happened.

I think my free trial for Prime is ending soon. Any reason to keep it? I think I still might get student pricing

If you buy PS4 games, it’s now $2 cheaper to buy off PSN, and and if you aim all of your preorders for their E3 deals and don’t care about day one delivery, there isn’t much of a reason anymore.

Nice, my FNAC SNES is still stop in custom. Tracking says "Contacting final recipient"

Still wondering who's doing the contacting & how because I've received no email or phone call. Maybe, it's in the mail?!
Click to expand...
Mine was like that for a while. Yesterday I received a call to pay the customs fees; another $30...

In the end, I paid $175 for my SNES Mini. It hurts... I can tell myself the extra $60 is for the superior Super Famicom design at least!

INTELCOM is the worst. This doesn't help you now but maybe in the future. Add P.O. Box 1234 to your shipping address to guarantee it'll be shipped with Canada Post instead. It delays shipment but you'll at least get the item. Blows my mind that Amazon is still using them.

Ok maybe I made it up? Can't seem to find it. Might have just been general fashion discussion in the Toronto OT.

Also, fwiw, Lost & Found is the *the best* mens store in Toronto. Hands down.

Also that Cuphead funko is dope.

Never heard of Lost and Found but it looks sweet! Too bad its on Ossington so I will never ever go there :(

If you had a bunch of American money in Paypal would you take it out now or wait it out a little longer?. I noticed the Canadian dollar has been slowly getting shittier again, is it expected to continue on this trend?

Thanks! I’ll definitely add that from now on. I had two packages with them before, where they just toss it on the step and don’t even knock. I have some bad luck with Amazon overall, this is the fourth package that went missing in transit in three years.

I agree.

I pulled those tweets from their twitter account and reportedly the responses others and the same people asking for more info are getting canned auto-replies. Some who didn't get the backorder email have shipped (see: this thread) and others are still in-progress limbo. So who knows what it means really.

There are also reports of orders which were backordered as having been shipped and received too. So again, who knows. I haven't bothered contacting them myself for any updates. The authorization is still on my CC, I'm just waiting and seeing at this point. Perhaps it's an issue of where these orders are being fulfilled from (ie. available stock)? I'm not entirely sure where/how Walmart handles their inventory locally by province or Canada-wide, etc with online orders.

Phone call? Doesn't appear like FNAC put my phone number on my bill.

Yeah, it's going to be around that for me too but it's for a product that is always unavailable, especially in Canada, no matter what Reggie says.

Well it is sure as heck not the game discounts anymore.

For me, it's Twitch Prime. I subscribe to Easy Allies on Twitch and plan to continue to subscribe. In a year that's worth $60 USD which is around $75 CAD. So $5 on top of that to get Prime Video + prime shipping and the occasional 10% discount, not to mention less hassle in dealing with my existing 20% off preorders from earlier is absolutely worth it to me.

If you don't use twitch prime, I suppose it depends on how good you think Prime Video is, how much you order from amazon and how much you care about items arriving faster.

So Amazon is for sure not giving out Battlefront 2 codes? Should I just do a quick online order at EB or Best Buy then?

I can also attest to Lost & Found. They're one of my favourite clothing stores in Toronto. Please keep them a secret :)

Just got a cancellation email update from Walmart. My order was previously confirmed, then eventually backordered.

"Items from this order have been cancelled because they will not be available in a timely manner. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
