Feel when Amazon is seriously making you wait while they

In my experience I've always gotten it before 8pm when it tells me that, but I guess it really depends on your location.

I live in Nevada and I think there's a warehouse close by...yay...?

>not going to a midnight release
Kek

When they say 'you will receive by 8PM' it normally means they are not going to show up given customer services tend to stop around 5 or 6PM.

So yeah, don't expect to get them Friday if your order suddenly changes to 'before 8PM'

>>29986877
I was thinking about actually going to the midnight release at my local G.S. just to troll..but then they'd counter troll me, for not having my copy yet and having to wait most of all of Friday.

>>29986756
This, i remember OR/AS being shipped to me at around 2 am at night, and being delivered by ups at around 10 am in the morning

>>29986997
what if you paid extra for the one-day shipping instead of the free option?

>>29987374
Contact them for a refund when it doesn't come on time. That's what I've done in the past and I've always gotten it refunded.

>>29986723
>preorder at the last minute yesterday afternoon
>ships out in the middle of the night
>should arrive before 8pm tomorrow

please be true

My order said it wouldn't arrive until Tuesday, which is obviously bullshit
Contacted support and they were like "oh you need one-day shipping to get release day delivery," which is also bullshit
It's all sorted out now, but I have zero patience with Amazon and preoders, considering they fucked up last time with Y with me.

>>29986997
what no. They say that on every order. It's just to give the carriers some leeway.

I just talked to support and the guy said that my order was ready to go but hadn't shipped yet because of my proximity to a fulfillment center and that i shouldn't worry about it being delayed

>>29986997
>never ordered from Amazon before

>>29989207
Same. Godamn if only I lived farther away I could have probably got the game now.

>>29986819
I'm also from NV and it has not shipped yet. It says I'll get the game tomorrow by 8 but I'm freaking out anyway.

Assachusetts here, not shipped yet

Are you so retarded that you order a game online and are complaining about when it's going to get here? (Not even to mention that the prediction still says it will arrive on release day) If getting it exactly on release was so damn important, why wouldn't you preorder at a B&M? Stop 'tism.

>>29986997
Amazon has a their own courier service. I've received packages after 6pm numerous times.

>>29992050
Me too. Mine has not shipped yet but I assume it will be on the late night run since I only live like 8 hours away from the distribution center.

I have to unload a delivery to the restaurant I work at tonight. I'll probably wake up around noon tomorrow with it delivered to my door, possibly earlier.

Or not. The mail carrier around here is ass, and often delivers stuff to the wrong house. When I imported my MHX 3DS bundle, they sent it to my neighbor instead. Good thing they were on vacation, or I never would have gotten that 3DS.

Mine isn't expected until the 25th ;_;

Why don't you people who are waiting for the game just go into a brick and mortar store and buy the game? Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc. will all have the game available on the shelf tomorrow morning.

>not getting the digital version

nice b8

Why would you buy a new game on amazon and risk it not coming on release date? Going to the store and buying it is easier and you can even get it at midnight. Isn't the price same too? Someone explain.

>>29991588
Amazon is pretty good about meeting their stated deadlines, and as soon as there's a delay, they'll send an email. I think one time, I got a delay notice and got the package before the amended delivery date anyway.

Amazon has a pretty cozy relationship with the big three shippers. I'm not a fan of the implications of their business practice (emissions and materials cost of shipping, impact on mom & pop, brick & mortars, treatment of workers, etc)...but their front-facing operations are professional as anything I've ever seen.

>>29993405
from what I heard the framerate issuses are being over exaggerated.

The main issue with 3ds vs N3ds is starting up the game and sleep mode which are just atrocious. Everything else is bearable.

>check tracking
>games are in state
>games currently at mail center in a city 4 hours away

Can I drive over there and pick them up?

>>29993393
I'm sorry anon, cancel now and go buy it at a store.

>>29993513
Amazon gives a 20% discount on preoders.

>>29993566
Call and ask what do you have to lose?

>>29993554
What's the sleep mode problem?

>>29987725
Do you have Prime? Their website says release-day delivery is free with Prime but they have been known to fuck that up before.

>>29992651
If you're super impatient you can go with an ID and probably pick it up from their facility if it's still open.

>>29993906
I assume it means it tales a few seconds to come out of sleep mode.

>>29993946
Meh, I've waited this long I can wait another ~10 hours.

>>29994143
Do you think Gamestop will have enough?

>>29994233
I sure as hell hope so.

Important question!
If I buy a UK version of the game for my Australian 3DS, will I be able to use Australian download codes when they do promo's?

>>29994318
You can't use a UK version on an Australian 3ds.

>>29994336
oh, i thought it was all PAL
or are you referring to the uk version of the codes?

>>29994367
Games are region locked unless you have homebrew/CFW.

My Amazon says my game isn't arriving until Tuesday. I tried calling customer service and I'm pretty sure I got a bot. She just kept repeating to me that the item hasn't been released yet.

>>29994416
AUS is in the EU region. You can use AUS games fine on EU 3ds and vice versa. Hence why people were importing the AUS n3DS when it came out earlier than most other places.

Also the one serebii is using I believe.

Amazon warehouse worker here
We're all sitting here playing the game until it's time for your copies to go out

>>29997915
Looks like you're getting it on time.

>copy has been sitting in an Amazon sorting facility an hour from my house since 12pm.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>29998012
this is difficult to believe considering how hardcore amazon's policies are

It just started shipping for me about an hour ago.

Give it time.

So slight issue with mine.
As of last night it said "shipping Nov 16th" and it clearly did not do that. Early this morning they process my payment and because I'm a retard that forgot to update my card information after getting the new one since I purchased the game, it failed and I had to update it. That was at around noon and it says "shipping Nov 18th" and arriving Tues 22nd. Now that I see a lot of people here mysteriously have the 22nd too I can tell it's obviously bullshit. I live half an hour from a warehouse and if they ship it that day it should arrive the same day, or Saturday at the latest. No way it will take several days to get their shit together, it's probably a bullshit date just so they can say it didn't arrive late. I had this happen with PMD last year at the same week of the month and it ended up arriving Friday night anyway.

Even if it comes late I'm not going to freak out, I'm hyped to play it but not so uncontrollably hyped that I'll get pissed at Amazon for my mistake and cancel my order just to go buy it at Gamestop. I guess this is what getting older is like.

>>29997305

No.

I'm playing on an overclocked N3DS and the game drops to X and Y horde levels on double battles. On an OVERCLOCKED N3DS. No wonder gamefreak removed horde battles, that shit would be a slideshow or even crash the piece of shit.

The lengths I will go to hide my Pokemon habit and not embarrass myself by talking to Walmart employees who don't give one fuck about me...I don't get it for another week and I'm shipping it to a secret P.O. box.
