TheAssassin1982UK Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've just cancelled mine from zavvi, it was still showing as awating stock pick, so I'm going to just buy it on Friday from somewhere, steam more than likely as i can get it downloading when I go to bed. Saving the money would have been nice, but I've taken a couple of days off to play the game, so bugger it, whats 12 quid. I think the morale of the story for this year though is buy fm11 from shopto, unless your from Scotland anyways, lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'd just like to be able to get my digital download from GAME tomorrow. As a number of people have the game today, and and even larger number will have it tomorrow, either delivered to them or bought from a shop as some are already selling it today. It's also been stated that most shops will be selling it tomorrow. It would keep things on more of a level playing field if the digital downloads were available tomorrow morning. Went to local game asked for it"Sorry Mate Not available till Friday" Ah no worries saying asda are selling it now ill go there Ohh wait here 2 secs,looks at some dude,he nods Bunch of knob jockeys They must get some kick out saying that Got it anyway jus annoys me when they can jus hand it over take the money instead of acting the goat Sad for loyal buyers of FM though that they wont release it early for the stream downloads etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman79 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Zavvi have just emailed to say my copy will be sent on Friday, not before. Very annoyed as i ordered in good faith (6th October) and expected to receive on release day!Safe to say i won't be ordering from them again. Can I ask when you contacted them?, as I am still awaiting reply from Zavvi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very annoyed as i ordered in good faith (6th October) and expected to receive on release day!Safe to say i won't be ordering from them again. That's not good as they've said in several previous emails printed here that they would get the game shipped as soon as they get it in stock so that we receive it on release day. Can't just change policy like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woowah Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 They shouldn't be advertising "next-day delivery"if it's not next-day for everyone. "Business Class Delivery" would have been more sensible and lead more people to check how long it takes. I was in same situation having ordered it from shopto yesterday around 16:45pm. Spoke to them this morning and was assured would be dispatched this Pm. However as had received no email confirming this just phoned them again and have been told they wont be dispatching anymore copies till tomorrow as they are now not allowed to. Have just cancelled my order. Annoyed as probably could have found a copy in London shops today - does anyone know what shops in East London are selling it?

Aim_Less Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 you guys have to realize that Zavvi had a huge list of pre orders that probably surpassed their expectations and they had to reinforce their stock , also who supply's them had to do the same so, thats probably the cause of the delay and they don't want to admit it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The individual has no right to sell you the copy if, as SI and SEGA have said that nobody should be sold it until the 30th, which they have. You buying it early the last two years is wrong, but very lucky for you, so you can''t compain if this year somebody is doing their job correctly.

I pre-ordered my copy about 2 weeks ago and received an email last night saying that it had been despatched then a second email later on yesterday from UKmail saying that I would receive the game today. I'd like to know where I stand if I don't get the game today, I've read i'm in Area C for priority which says 2-3 days on the website but the email I received says I would have it today which I clearly don't have.

I know where Fort Kinnaird is , just didn't click when you referred to it as the Fort tbh But yeah, the guy i asked said he had like 20 in stock in the back, but he wouldn't sell it to me, cause it was too "risky" It was one of the most soul destroying moments ever.

I had an email earlier saying that my Zavvi order had been posted today but I'm beginning to wonder if they're just saying that to try and prevent even more people from cancelling their orders from them. Because not one single person has said that their status has changed from 'awaiting dispatch' and some people haven't even got that yet.

Leicester Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I ordered from GAME and I got an email today saying it's been dispatched and it said I have ordered using the "GAME 1st To Play Preorder Service". Does this mean I will definitely get the game in the next 2 days even with the problems with the postal service atm? What it says for the royal mail tomorrow: Date - Thursday 29th October Functions striking - Mail Centres & Network Distribution Units General service impact - Limited processing and movement of ordinary mail. Limited collections where these are locally performed by a Mail Centre. Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't see it after a quick scan through.

Jambodinho Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have oredered books, games, cd's, dvd's etc from a number of websites and play.com seems to be the best in my opinion. Ive ordered FM10 from Zavvi purely just because of the price. If its a few days wait then its not a problem. The status of my order still hasnt changed but from a couple of websites ive used before, Amazon being an example, ive been panicking because they hadnt updated the status, then the next day its come through the door. Hopefully this is the case with Zavvi. If some retailers, both online and on the high street have had it delivered in then surely Zavvi must have had it delivered to them buy now.
