DE4life Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I can't play the game until monday, so I'm not bothered if mine comes today or not. Ordered from Zavvi. They can't be worse than Play.com - last year mine arrived 6 days after release date, despite pre-ordering months in advance. A mate who lived in the same road and pre-ordered from Play 2 weeks after me got his a day after the release :confused: Haven't ordered anything from Play since.

Mar$haLL Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well Zavvi have let me down to, despatched wednesday and noithing arrived today, not good enough Zavvi and i suspect next year you won't be getting as much business. Post office strike or not it should have arrived by today! I agree, I'm never pre-ordering anything off zavvi again. Really pi$$ed me off this has.

I know some people are complaining as though it's Zavvi's fault. I'm not, I realise it's the postal service, but I'm trying to establish if people had theirs dispatched on 28th before evening, because they'll obviously have a better chance of receiving FM.

Tal_Hides Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I won't be using Zavvi again. They confirmed that I would get the game today... but still no game How exactly did they confirm you'd get the game today? Every other quote I've seen suggesting they had this guarantee actually said that it would be despatched by the 30th, no-one has shown me any guarantee that it will arrive by the 30th as it's not possible for them to guarantee anything once it leaves their warehouse. As far as I'm concerned, they've said 3-5 working days for delivery, which takes you through to Tuesday. If you don't have it by Tuesday you have every right to feel aggreived, otherwise stop complaining, they're giving you a better price than anywhere else.

cmd1989 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Those people who have recieved theirs from Zavvi, can I ask where you're from?

markca84 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I dont know if the zavvi haters a) read through the thread and b) contacted to ask about when they would ship it. Ill say this just one more time, Zavvi stated they were going to dispatch ON RELEASE DAY, the 30th, meaning you would have got it next week. When I rang they said due to post strikes, they released this early. They should be applauded for taking this action. I cant believe how worked up people are getting over a game being delivered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMeL_UK Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Well all I can say is you get what you pay for. You go on a budget airline dont expect caviar, you buy something nearly 40% cheaper than anywhere else dont expect them to be busting a gut to help you out. This isn't Zavvi's fault but why should they make contingency plans that will eat into their already slim profit margins for the product. You go to a specialised company like game, you pay more than if you go to a warehouse type seller, but they understand repeat business they realise that you could of gone elsewhere and thats why they were promising people would receive their game today. Promising, come hell or high water you'd get it today. So I'll say again you get what you pay for, life is always the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that Zavvi don't have the resources to ring up each individual regional post depot and ask if they are going to be on strike. They must have just hoped for the best. Also, to them FM 2010 is just another product amongst the thousands that they will be sending out (or not) today, so I doubt they see any reason for special treatment to its customers.

Defending something doesn't automatically make you a 'lover', nor do I think I'm god's gift. I'm not the one throwing my toys out of the pram because the rest of the world hasn't made getting me my copy of Football Manager a priority. I'd like to see your proof that Zavvi promised you your game by the 30th, as all we've seen so far are guarantees that it'd be despatched by the 30th and then arrive within 3 - 5 working days (not counting the strike action which is out of their control).

brod104 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 still not here either, i'm near woking. does one have to sign for it? Apparently not if you (pre-)ordered from GAME and it was sent via Parcel Force. Mine's gone missing completely and I won't know until Monday probably what's happened to it, whether I'll need to try and get my money back from GAME and/or get a replacement copy, which means I'll probably miss out on the free gift as well. All because the deliveryman didn't leave a card saying where he'd left/taken it when he supposedly delivered it yesterday (Thursday for those who may read this at a later date).
