Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition

Do games usually ship out this early? If Amazon is shipping out Friday they'd have to use extra slow delivery to make sure it doesn't arrive until Tuesday. Or have it held at the shipping facility for a long time.
I've heard packages are marked not to be delivered until Tuesday but some people probably get it early anyway.
 
Oh hey it updated to "shipping soon" for me! This is honestly my first pre-order off of Amazon, so I just want the tracking information to be shown already for the ease of mind. :/
 
A lot of times, amazon has already shipped to a local collection point for day 1 distribution in the area. Since it was a bulk shipment, you won't get a tracking number for your single order until the container is broken down and the individual box is given to your local post. It is how it seems to show up in one day, when actually they started their journey a week ago.
 
I've already been charged for my Best Buy order but it's been stuck on preparing for shipment over 24 hours now. It's maddening.
 
Yeah this is driving me nuts. I want it to ship just so they can't have an accident and cancel my order and I also want to track my package. And now the obsessive compulsive in me is going I should check the mailing address (I get slightly paranoid about these things).
me too
 
My GAME order today says shipped... but on the email it mentions the Anthology not the Pipboy..

That company is retarded, I know I ordered both at the same time but c'mon.
 
For any people in the UK, GAME are using DPD and actually dispatching on Monday from my conversation with them. So if you get a shipped email it'll essentially mean its been prepped ready for dispatch.
 
Got my shipped email... will hopefully get it Monday, unfortunately won't get to see it until Thursday night :(

The wife is probably going to buy me a standalone copy anyway so I don't open the Pip-Boy edition until xmas.... on one hand thats awesome, on the other hand, bitterly disappointed :D

For those few voices who are mocking people for buying this "useless tat".... come-on now lets not do that :) I had this conversation with a few other people on another website. We *all* waste money on pointless things, be it alcohol, cigarettes, going to costa coffee every day, treating yourself to pizza every week, paying to watch TV... all of it is wasteful tat. The most important thing is that this is a gaming website and so it shouldn't shock anyone that people are buying gaming related stuff.
 
My Amazon order switched to "shipping soon".
Yep...me too. Says it's coming Tuesday.

After losing my shit and calling Amazon when I was afraid that my launch PS4 wouldn't arrive on time and having it show up right on schedule, I've learned that they usually get this shit right.
 
Paid ten dollars more than a normal game for the pipboy edition thanks to a few rewards points and The gamer card at best buy! Gonna make the pip boy into a clock i think and i can now be a vault hunter for halloween/comic con!

Good deal!
 
Well my collector's guide just shipped from amazon and is supposed to arrive Tues but my pipboy still remains "preordered". Would have been nice if they shipped them together.

Yeah I got the Amazon update email too. Ultimate Dweller's Survival Guide? I don't get why it took so long to confirm the delivery date considering it's had a release date of November 10th for a long time now.
 
Looks like my Amazon order is shipping soon now as well.

Not that it really matters since I'm not keeping it since it doesn't fit my giant phone. But hey, my friend who is a fallout super fan will be happy at least.

If he resells it, I'll straight up murder him though.
 
Amazon orders I have still say Not Yet Shipped, but usually I don't get a notification until the day before and they still arrive on time. Not worried yet.
 
So I ordered my PBE back in June, and it said that it was supposed to ship yesterday.

It did not.

I emailed Amazon and they said it was now back ordered and they did not know when it would ship. She upgraded me to overnight shipping and gave me a 10 dollar credit.

Long story short, dunno when my order will ship, if at all. They aren't making any more, so how can it be backordered?

Especially when I ordered in June!

Sheesh.

Amazon usually doesn't ship until a day or two before release. Ordered mine June 14th and it says it hasn't shipped, but will be here on Tuesday.

I know they've always done a good job with it, and my order now says it will ship Monday.

But still, the rep said it was backordered, so that has me concerned.

Worst thing you can do is get on Amazon's radar with stuff like this. Should have waited until Monday at least. I feel like Amazon is just looking for a reason to screw up your order a lot of the time, don't go out of your way to give them one.

I have seen other reports saying the same thing, that Amazon is backordered and some of these might not ship out on time. Whelp.

Bolded being true based on experiences I've seen on GAF.

Some gaffers started up some confusion about the Batman: Arkham Knight CE being delayed or cancelled back in June with 1 person contacting Amazon who then went and cancelled his CE order with a digital copy as a mends of sorts. And in the end there was no delay or cancellation of that version and the gaffers CE that got cancelled went back in stock and bought by someone else. lol

So just wait and see. Last time my CE for Batman shipped on Sunday and arrived on Tuesday so it'll likely be leaving their warehouses tomorrow.

I'm not that concerned really.

I was letting a friend buy it from me, so he will be the one disappointed. If they cancel it, I'll just complain and get a nice credit out of it.

I'm really hoping the Gold Edition from Best Buy I ordered gets here on time.

Yeah I have the game coming in on the 10th from Best Buy either way. Still though, it sucks for those that don't have another copy coming in and have to wait like the poster above me might have to.
 
My Amazon order was scheduled for Tuesday until about an hour ago, when it slipped to two days later. I was already ambivalent about it, so I cancelled. Amazon has been increasingly bad about release day delivery for me.
 
has gamestop shipped anyones (US)? they sent me an email saying they would charge on Nov 4th... but then charged me on the 3rd, so the funds are verified now... but still says Open instead of shipped... ill be a little irritated if i dont get it on the 10th or 11th at the latest.
 
I had a similar situation on amazon with the MGSV CE. It didn't ship until the day before and I was freaking out, but it still got here right on time. It will be fine, don't worry.
 
My Amazon order hasn't shipped yet either; but I've never had a later order from them so I'm not concerned at all. Most of the time, my orders don't update as shipped until the day before.
 
Has anyone who ordered Pip Boy Edition from Bethesda directly had theirs ship yet?

My bobble heads shipped yesterday. As for the PBE, it said ship date would be November 10th the day I ordered it. I'm taking that to mean they'll send it out on release day and I'll get it a few days later.
