Bilko Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I pre-ordered this game (PC) from Gameplay.co.uk having been told i'd most likely get it the day before release, but it's still not been sent, lol. Anyone else ordered from them? And have your orders been sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_G Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Don't worry Bilko, it WILL be there on Friday! I ordered Dawn of War and HL2 from Gameplay, and on their respective days of release they appeared on my doorstep at around 10am. It says "First Class" postage on the website, but they dispatch stuff the day before release by Parcel Force - so you get it a little later then regular mail, but it always gets there on release day! Ok, so you might have to wait a day. I might have to wait till late Sunday or even Monday night to play!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QJimbo Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yeah I too had heard that you can sometimes get preorders a day early, but from the looks of it it's not gonna happen this time since as you said they haven't dispatched it. Then again they might dispatch it at 5pm today... who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_G Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 *Digs through e-mail* The last time I ordered from Gameplay, (Act of War on 31th of March) I recieved a "your order has been dispatched" email at 2:19am. Lo and behold, it arrived the next morning via Parcel Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilko Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 My order has gone to 'picking' and will be sent today, so it looks like it might even be here tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QJimbo Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Ah good thinking, just checked mine, says the dispatch date is today as well \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_cohen_999 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yeah, I ordered from " Gameplay" Anyone know the default packaging because i know that it said it would arrive in a box or padded envelope but my mum cant remember what she put lol also if it arrives in a box and i wasnt in then how would i get my order. So anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveMeLiberty78 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) I pre-ordered from Gameplay, too, and my order was due for dispatch either today (the 8th), or tomorrow (the 9th), but like most others, it has still not arrived. If you check your account like i did, it'll most probably say that the current stauts is "being picked" and that it will be dispatched this evening. Whenever i have previously ordered from Gameplay, they've always stuck to their word, so i am pretty confident we will all wake up tomorrow morning with a much-welcomed visit from the postman. (And by the way, anyone else like myself amidst the GCSE exam period, good luck!) EDIT: My order has just this very instance been dispatched, so for those of you who may be worrying about not receiving their copy tomorrow, i should think there's no longer any such need to worry; i am 99.9% certain it'll reach us all tomorrow!

joey_cohen_999 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 No worrys now, I checked my status and said "padded envelope first class postage" Also the status is "being picked" and says dispatch date "today" so hopefully it will tomorrow i really hope..............

Chris_G Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 You're all lucky! Gameplay's Parcel Force 1st Class delivery means it'll get hand delivered to your door by a man in a van. Play.com's regular Royal Mail 1st class means it gets put in with the regular mail. Knowing the mailmen in my area, it'll probably get eaten before it arrives at my house!

Widge Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've pre-ordered my copy with gamplay, and it has just been despatched (18:30), so I should hopefully have it by tomorrow morning. I have a GCSE exam tomorrow afternoon - so doesn't look like I should play SA. I will anyway - only history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcfan123 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 mines been dispatched aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_cohen_999 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Same here, But I havent recieved a confirmation e-mail, Does that matter? Have any of you recieved a confirmatin e-mail? How likely will it be of arriving tomorrow and how it will be delivered? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_G Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) Probably quite likely . If not it'll definitely be Friday in a padded envelope. Don't worry about the e-mail, it's the status on the website that matters. Confirmation emails ususlly get sent when someone sits down at the end of the day and goes "whoop, guess what I haven't done...."
