Wakers Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 HMV are one company that I've had a poor experience with when it comes to getting stuff on release date. I've just checked my bank account and noticed that Zavvi have not yet taken money from my credit card. A bit weird that considering it was despatched yesterday evening, isn't it?

Thor Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 frustrating ! HMV shipped yesterday morning - sent me a tracking number via parcel force and the friggin number they have given won't work on the parcel force tracking site... anyone else have that problem ?? Exactly the same situation - also noticed that on my online banking the money has only come out today - so have they actually sent them out!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braundjoh Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, bed time for me Will be waiting impatiently tomorrow, but hopefully not for long.

Leezoid Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Exactly the same situation - also noticed that on my online banking the money has only come out today - so have they actually sent them out!! Well they took money from me on tuesday evening - so where the flip is my game? The problem I have is that while I can handle having to wait until release day (!) I doubt very much that it's going to arrive at all, here's why: Earlier today Me: Hello my tracking number doesn't work on your website Parcelforce: That's because it's a royal mail (!) tracking number Then... Me: Hello, why is my game being sent via royal mail when i've payed you for premium delivery and you said on tuesday night it was on it's way via parcelforce? HMV: Erm, well it was definately sent by parcelforce, they probably mean they haven't received the game at their 'hub' yet Me: Why not when it's had two days to get there and you said it's on its way? HMV: Well it is 24-48 hours for delivery (this expired this afternoon) Me: ok then.... Should I just go to Tesco and if it ever arrives from HMV just send it back (and keep the mug? bwa ha ha) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next year I'll be paying for yours! Seriously though, are zavvi one of these companies that takes money once they know the item has been delivered or once it's been despatched?

Am i going to be getting an email telling me there's been a payment error soon? lol Most, if not all, companies initialize payment once they have dispatched an item. My guess would be that they have yet to dispatch your copy, if they had dispatched it then you can be sure that they would've taken your money.

I don't think they would dispatch an item without initializing payment, mate. I could be wrong.

nffc lukeage Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ive just had an email from zavvi! We are sorry but due to a technical error the payment for your order may show on your payment card statement or account more than once. This has been investigated and can confirm that the subsequent charge that is showing will expire within 48 hours and you will only be charged once. they have only taken it once, lol the first email ive had since it said dispatched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despatched the same time as his (as i remember from yesterday), got the email from zavvi saying it has been sent. Paid on debit card and everything usually shows on my online banking immediately.

Generally I don't have a lot of time to play the game, so I only want to dedicate my time to it when it's as complete as it possibly could be. I know that they talk about patches being saved game compatible, but it's recommended that you start a new game. So yeah, I want to play the game when it's as bug-free as possible.

Yeah, it will definitely fit through the letterbox. The CM2010 one fits through the letterbox, and that's got a notebook and a pencil in it, so I'm confident that the FM2010 will do the same.
