lareneg Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I got an email from Game.co.uk saying that they dispatched my game today at 11am. But its Sunday. Surely the Royal Mail don't pick up packages on Sunday? They certainly don't deliver on Sunday. Either way, I paid for next day delivery so hopefully I should get it on MONDAY!

MrGizmo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My copy was dispatched BEFORE MIDDAY (12AM) on Satrday(free delivery), therefore the chances of not getting on Monday are miniscule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trojanfoe Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've just received the same e-mail. It has a royal mail tracking number, but the tracking website has no information until it gets to the 'mail centre'. It's described as a Special Delivery 9AM item, so I don't see why I won't get it Monday. Yay! All Monday night and Tuesday day within Liberty City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairyWookieBalls Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Mine was dispatched this morning (Sunday) via Special Delivery. I'm pretty sure that Royal Mail do work at the sorting offices etc on a Sunday, so there is a good chance it'll get to the depot tonight and out for delivery tomorrow morning before 9am.

westy-the-likely-lad Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 27/04/2008 08:19:45 Your order has been dispatched. This is what mine says. Does this mean it will be Monday I receive or Tuesday, does anyone know for certain ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PicoDeath Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I don't know for sure, games reputation is that you get it a day early. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyWookieBalls Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just been looking at the Royal Mail website - I know, life is too exciting sometimes... Royal Mail Depots all work on Sundays. This includes transiting mail around the country. Special Delivery guarantees next working day delivery, so - logically - the game has left Game warehouse. Royal Mail are currently taking it to their depot, where it'll be scanned in tonight. It'll then be on the lorries/vans for delivery next working day, ie Monday. ^Part fact, part wishful thinking, but I think there's a good chance we'll get lucky tomorrow.

Surely the Royal Mail don't pick up packages on Sunday? They certainly don't deliver on Sunday. Either way, I paid for next day delivery so hopefully I should get it on MONDAY! Royal Mail Do Not Deliver on a Sunday but they could still pick it up, as I have seen a RM Truck pass my house on a Sunday before today. Also GAME could use the likes of DHL or City-Link or even have there own vans from the Distribution center to the Royal Mail sorting office, Although it will be Monday before it will be sent to your local Royal Mail Office.

ally_mct Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 yep our orders will be coming a day early because game are sending our orders to the sorting office for tonight then royal mail will send them on monday to get to our houses before 9am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lareneg Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 If it is indeed true that their depots and offices all work on Sundays, then it WILL be Monday. It'll be at their main depot today, and then transported to our local sorting offices overnight. Then they'll be ready for delivery next day, i.e. Monday. Hopefully.

lareneg Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 For f*cks sake, how come nobody sticks to release dates anymore? Its because GAME have a promise that if you preorder from them it'll be on your doorstep by release date. For the free delivery, that's 1-2 working days so they had to dispatch it so that the upper bound of 2 working days falls on Tuesday. That way, if it arrives AFTER Tuesday they can blame it on Royal Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
