Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition

People who ordered from bestbuy.com, report in when yours ships! Ordered mine on June 15th, still in "preparing."

I've had them ship two days before release before but never the day before. Granted I have only been using them for about five months. If I don't get this on Tuesday it will put a serious dent in my plans since I am off work this week.

Mine says Shipped from Best Buy! Must've got up this morning.
 
So the tracking on Amazon's website says "On time" arriving tomorrow by 8 p.m. When I plug the tracking number into UPS's website, it says "On time" with a scheduled delivery date for Wednesday end of day. Gahhhhhh! Who do I believe?!

Anyone know if this is common? I usually buy my games at Best Buy, not Amazon, so I'm not familiar.
 
Mine said shipped from best buy last night at around 8pm. It's still awaiting pickup it looks like, but best buy is still reporting that it will be here tomorrow.

My amazon order is still "shipping soon" but is guaranteed by 8pm tomorrow.
 
My order from Best Buy shipped last night, tracking still hasn't updated, just blank.

My Gold edition shipped last friday and it also hasn't updated tracking either, also blank.

Bestbuy shows shipped, but status says "initiated"
 
Hmm Amazon used USPS for mine and says its arriving tomorrow. So cool and all but surprising and also it looks like they got the shipping together yesterday.
 
Shipped status from Best Buy, tracking isn't working yet, so there's no way I'll get it tomorrow.
I wouldn't lose hope yet. It can take 24 hours for the tracking info to update. Also someone mentioned earlier in this thread that they first send these out in big bunches to distribution centers all over the country, so when your order actually updates to shipped it's already pretty close to you. They were talking about Amazon but it probably applies to Best Buy as well.
 
Reading over shipping issues here caused me to check my account-- sure enough, it's apparently arriving Thursday. My Amazon order of that collectors edition of the vault survival guide or whatever it's called will be here tomorrow, of course.

My Best Buy Gold Edition hasn't shipped yet either, but they're usually here on release despite inaccurate/missing shipping data. Granted I've picked up 95% of games in-store, so Amazon has shipped way more shit to me.

I'm tempted to grab it from Wal-Mart or something and return Amazon's once it arrived, but I have a feeling the UPC will be different or simply say it's not for sale on the back.

Fuck. At least it didn't get cancelled, but goddamn did I want to sink a few hours into this tomorrow. Fingers crossed for Best Buy making it on time-- I'm pretty sure they will, but the anxiety is messing with my head

Funny enough, my Gold edition shipped last week, no tracking update yet. And my Collector's edition guide said it had a scheduled release date finally of Nov 10th. and that it would arrive Nov. 12th. (Even though I did release date shipping). Then I got an email that said my order was upgraded "FOR FREE" to release date shipping and would arrive Nov 13th. So now I'm not getting it until Friday.
 
Got my email from Amazon at 3 am stating it's been shipped via UPS for delivery tomorrow. Mine shipped from their Arizona warehouse to Socal as an FYI for anyone in the area still waiting on their status to change.
 
$120 Pip Boy edition + Gamers Club Unlocked discount + free $10 Best Buy certificate for preordering = $86 Pip Boy Edition. When I sort out the amount I'm actually paying for this, I really feel that it's a good deal. All aboard the Pip Boy hype train.
 
My GameStop order has shipped. My Amazon is still preparing for shipment, which I'm fine with now that I remember I went with regular shipping on both :P

GameStop should get here on the 12th. Amazon expects the 16th by the earliest! Wow, I need to start giving GameStop more credit than I have been recently, and that preorder was made during one of the few more units available instances. My Amazon preorder was made on the night of the announcement!
 
my collectors edition won't be here until the 18th...Amazon said it is because of how many orders they have to fill....awesum

Status changing every few hours! It's moving down the line :D

Arriving tomorrow by 8pm
Being shipped today

Was preparing a few hours ago.
 
My Bestbuy.com PS4 Pip-boy shipped over the last 30 minutes or so, almost a full 4 days in preparing for shipping status. Totally can't tell when it's getting here though, no estimate on the website and UPS doesn't have the tracking number yet.

Amazon.com is still showing preparing for shipping, chatted with a rep and he stated he expected it would arrive on release date even though the current estimate is to ship on 11/10 and arrive on 11/12. He stated it was far enough along he couldn't change the shipping speed.

All in all I have this sneaking suspicion that I'll end up doing a Redbox rental for the first night/most of Wed and see what shows up by Thursday.

My Pipboy shipped on Friday, and apparently is on the truck for delivery today. Of course I'm in another STATE atm and won't be back to grab it til Wed. :p
 
Anybody who got the Gold Edition at Best Buy, did anyone only get charged for the game and not the season pass? Happened to my cousin and was seeing if he was just lucky or if it was widely known..
 
My Amazon order is "preparing to ship" but still says to be delivered Thurs.

My Best Buy order is still in the mail for UPS. Was shipped Friday and haven't got an update yet but it should be here tomorrow.
 
Alright, bestbuy.com shipped mine around 9AM, but the tracking hasn't updated. Can't confirm a delivery date/time. It should be on the 10th. Here's hoping!
 
Mine shipped from Amazon.

There have been times where the date will show a day or two later then they'll update and say rescheduled for early delivery or something like that. Happens quite a bit with just normal packages.
 
So the tracking on Amazon's website says "On time" arriving tomorrow by 8 p.m. When I plug the tracking number into UPS's website, it says "On time" with a scheduled delivery date for Wednesday end of day. Gahhhhhh! Who do I believe?!

Mine is the same. Unfortunately I've had it go both ways. I've had the UPS date change because the package is listed as standard freight but actually ends up being part of air parcel. Sometimes it legit shows up late.
 
Scheduled Delivery:
Wednesday, 11/11/2015, By End of Day

Shipped By
UPS Ground

It's already in transit so I doubt it's going to get bumped up a day. Some "Prime" delivery Amazon.
 
Just got my confirmation from Amazon for the Pip Boy Edition. Should arrive tomorrow according to one part of their site (another part says Wednesday but hopefully not) and UPS tracking.
 
My Pip Boy from Best Buy has shipped! It is in transit to a UPS facility in Georgia. I live in North Carolina. Maybe there is a chance for delivery tomorrow...
 
Nothing from Amazon, but at least it upgraded from, "Not yet shipped" to:

Amazon has the best and most reliable shipping in the online retail industry by far.

UPS site isn't always correct; still really good chance you'll get it tomorrow.
 
Mine shipped today, but I won't be home until late at night to crack it open :/

Speaking of which, can anyone reccomend a good wifi adapter? My PC doesn't have wifi capabilities.
 
in England the postman would always come around 10am. If he didn't, something was up. Now I live in America and the mail doesn't even come til 4pm, and I live in an apartment complex with a front desk which closes.. so there's a chance it will come tomorrow and sit in their office overnight before they sort the mail. Very frustrating.
 
Everyone keep in mind that Release Day delivery is a guarantee and, barring outside influence that isn't Amazon's fault, they will usually either offer refunds or some kind of small credit for the trouble. It won't make up for the disappointment, but if it does not arrive tomorrow due to Amazon's shipping, it might be worth hitting up their CS to complain and see what you can get out of it.

Obviously only do this if you actually deserve it.
 
Mine arrived today. The build quality isn't the best, but it's not too heavy and reasonably comfy to wear. My Moto X 2013 (which is quite a lot thicker than the average smart phone) fitted nice and snug inside it for anyone wondering :)
 
I would also like to add a celebratory post stating my Pip Boy Edition has shipped from Amazon. Also noticed there was something else shipping with it and totally forgot I ordered the Sandman: Overture hardcover. Great day to be a nerd!
 
I'm still sitting over here jealous of all of you.


On the other hand I've been working on how I'm going to repaint the Pip boy.

I'm not sure if I want try and match it to the game, even adding scratches, or go with polished metalics.

I've been considering this too. A coat of matte paint would make a world of difference. My only concern is avoiding covering up the lettering.
 
Mine STILL says "Shipping Soon".. I contacted an amazon rep earlier and she told me it would absolutely be here on time... but it's hard not to be skeptical about it lol

Follow up:

About 7 hours later, UPS has now picked up the package. It's a few cities away from me. Looks like it will be on schedule. Excited!
