Matt ex SEGA Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Lets try and keep this to one thread, shall we? For clarity - there's no plan at this stage to bring the release forward. All retailers are aware of the potential for strikes and will likely have a contingency - so if you have a concern, have a chat to them directly. They should be trying to get the game to you for the 30th. Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 i just thought i would make things a bit clearer for some people. 1) Thursday 4am until Friday 4am - Mail centres and network drivers strike = very limited movement of mail around the country 2) After 4am Friday mail will start to move around the country and be sorted in the mail centres. Most of this mail will reach delivery offices too late for friday delivery so will be ready for saturday delivery. 3) 4am saturday delivery staff on strike. Mail in delivery offices will now not move until monday (unless there is limited delivery by people not striking) Remember lots of TNT, UK MAIL items are delivered by royal mail. Mainly letters but some are packets and parcels. maybe you should check with your sender and see if TNT,UKMAIL are doing the final mile delivery of your copy of FM10 (if they have stated they are sending via TNT etc.) Of course if the strikes are called off then everything should be normal!!!!!
