Slug Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 what mine one says so far; Order status log 24/10/2009 Your credit/ debit card has been authorised and your order is now being released for packing. Funds will not be debited until your order is shipped. 23/10/2009 Your order is waiting for authorisation and release for packing. 19/10/2009 Your order is currently held as a Preorder from game.co.uk but i choose to picked my copy from my local game store (pre-order Borderlands PC as well) just in case the strike went/goes ahead.

fuzzrab Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Slightly off topic but meh. For all those complaing about having to pay an extra 8-13 pounds for the game if you buy it from a shop, thank yourselves lucky you dont live over here in Australia. Every year i have to pay 90-100 dollars (AUS) for FM which generally equates to around 50 quid. This year it will be even worse with the stupid pound around 55 pence for every Aus dollar, so around 60 odd quid for my FM this year. Count yourselves lucky and pay the 10 odd quid.

I noticed that they also have the game available to buy via download for the same price as in store and online. I wonder how fast they are to use for downloads? For now I will stick will Zavvi but most likely will cancel by Wednesday if it hasn't been posted by then and buy instore at HMV on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Meh we'll be alright... ITs not going to kill us. I'm confident it will arrive on time or if not it hopeflly won't take long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
officespace82 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 well Zavvi are currently getting my order ready for posting, so im hoping it gets sent out today so it can arrive before the strikes hit again. I do find it sad people are willing to pay upto 12 quid more or go thru the trouble of sending a game back after buying it in store despite a pre order coming from the internet rather than possibly waiting a couple of days extra for the game.

officespace82 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Mine said Pre-Order until this morning, so im guessing something went wrong with yours. I have used Zavvi loads and it always gets sent out within 24 hours of it saying this. Edit: Payment has been taken now, so its obviously being sorted.

stevie_G_32201 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 doesnt mean they cant do it this year and they will more than likely do it next year (if they survive) imo if they keep doing it they are digging thier own graves if it becomes a yearly tradition.

Since post is such an essential public service I think the government should think about bringing into force a law like the one that applies to police so that the are not allowed to strike. Probably a bit of an over reaction on my part because I wont get fm on release day from zavvi but I still think it would be a good idea for people that depend on the post for other reasons for example getting their benifits through the post.
