killurmom8 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) ok i got desperate yesterday and brought off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=120248023002 all the UK retailers stopped taking pre-orders for release delivery. now seeing that game has some more in stock im p!$$ed off and worried. iv already paid for it on ebay. so i then decided to contact the seller and ask him if he is definitely going to dispatch it on monday from london. this was his reply... Hey mate, It will be dispatched from London for sure, I cannot 100% guarantee dispatch on Monday but most probably will because we rely on customs and Royal Mail to get the games out on time and unfortunately we have no control over them so it would be unfair for me to state I can guarantee dispatch but I can give you my word that we will try our utmost best to get them out as early as possible, Thanks my reply: ok thanks. where do you get your stock from? the games will be with you on monday right? how does your system work, do royal mail come and collect the items from you? few minutes later he replied again: Hey, The stock comes direct from the factory in Asia hence it has to clear customs to come to us first. We are expecting the games on Monday at present, we will keep you updated on that at all times. We give the items to Royal Mail to collect and first class is one working day but they sometimes can delay it to two working days but again, this happens rarely. Thanks what do u guys think? will i get it on the release date? has anyone else ordered on ebay? Edited April 22, 2008 by killurmom8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
