Blackmist_FFXI Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Does anyone know why this title would be delivered almost 2 weeks after release via Amazon? I've typically gotten most orderes the day of, if not somewhat late in the day of launch. But for some reason it's showing the 24th ( previously expected on 15th) w/prime membership. I can't seem to find any real reason for the delay. [Shoulda just ordered from gamestop like I normally do lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMErickson Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Have had similar issue with Prime in the last 2-3 months. Movies and games getting assigned later delivery dates, usually a week or two after launch.. In one case a movie was bumped up and got it a couple days after launch. Prime used to always deliver on release day so don’t what’s going on. If it hasn’t shipped you can cancel then get it local. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I've had a lot of problems with Amazon in the last year and they're getting worse . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmist_FFXI Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 hmm, dam ok. yea it hasn't shipped yet, i might run over to GameStop and see if they have any extra copy's coming in. asked in my discord as well, and some have echoed the same sentiment, getting orders upto a month after drop.

majob Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Amazon operates off a first come first served basis so people who preordered before you are getting their copies before you and you'll have to wait until they get their next shipment. You also could live in an area with few Amazon shipping facilities which also delays package delivery Edited November 10, 2022 by majob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipperVA Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Same for me. I ordered a copy from Best Buy as well so whichever one I get first is the one I'm keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if It means anything I grabbed my pre order back at the start of August. If I recall pre orders started around the 10th of Aug. And I got quite afew facility's where i live, about 27 of them. (Cali has 35, lol got curious) Bet best buy might have extra copys but the one near me has very poor select on anything. It's been kinda dying. They already shut down 2 locations around here. Oh well. In the long run I'll get it eventually. Got plenty to play till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMErickson Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Yea I’m an early preorderer too but just about everything is affected so I wouldn’t put too much into that. This is a new development. A shame really since brick and mortars carry less and less games. Have used the ship to store feature at Walmart and a PS4 game came like the next day for pickup where Best Buy would take a week lol. Why even. GameStop is hit or miss. If you want a popular game like GoW, Madden, CoD, and the sort, they’ll have extra but rarely have the niche titles and that seems to be what I play most.

The gamestop warehouse for my district goofed big and all there pre orders came out 2 weeks late. Guess it's the new fad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranquility101 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I went to one Best Buy and they said they had it in stock online but when I arrived they claimed not to have it. Apparently there was only a SINGLE copy sent to the store for PS5. Ordered it online to a neighboring town's Best Buy for pick up, finally got a copy. Doesn't seem like they printed many of these, at least I've never seen such a low stock of them at BB before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeshikitano3 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I actually regularly pre-order new stuff at Best Buy if I need something on release day because I'm so close to one and their in-store pick up is way better than gambling on a shipping delay or a damaged item. Apologies if I got the only copy from your store lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmist_FFXI Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 I called around and alot of the stores in my area, only got afew PS5 copies, very few Switch copies and no Ps4 copies. this one might be a "pre order or never see it again" title.
