I ordered Raising the Bar from Amazon.com and ...

When you click on the product details, it shows you this :

Availability: Usually ships within 2 to 3 days from Amazon.com

And after ordering, if you get a look at the "order status", it shows this :

Items not yet shipped:
Delivery estimate: February 2, 2005 - February 14, 2005 1 of: Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar

Is that some kind of joke?

So I've got a question. What's the estimated delivery for those who ordered the book from Amazon UK?

:angry:

 

[Qwertywasd]

I'm in the UK and here are the details.

Product Details:

Availability: usually dispatched within 4 to 6 weeks. Please note that titles occasionally go out of print or publishers run out of stock.

Order Status:

Dispatch estimate: 17 Nov 2004 - 1 Dec 2004
Delivery estimate: 18 Nov 2004 - 3 Dec 2004

Hoping mine will come soon

I cancelled my amazon.com order after they kept pushing it back and went with ebgames.com.

Barnes and Nobles has mine set to january 8th :\

 

[wilka91]

So should I cancel my order from Amazon.com and get it from the UK?

 

[SFLUFAN]

I would cancel your amazon order and get it from ebgames directly.

 

[wilka91]

I would cancel your amazon order and get it from ebgames directly.

Where is ebgames located?

I'm asking cuz I live in France ...

 

[KPeh]

Odd. You can buy it from highstreet shops in the UK already. Saw it in GAME today, but was a tad too pricey for me at £20.

 

[SFLUFAN]

Oh - you live in France.

Maybe you can order it from somewhere in the UK?

 

[wilka91]

Well, I tried to order from Amazon UK ...

here's what I get now :

Dispatch estimate: 20 Dec 2004 - 3 Jan 2005
Delivery estimate: 22 Dec 2004 - 7 Jan 2005

Goddamn it I want it NOW ffs!

And it's more expensive getting from the UK than the US! :rolling:

I've ordered it a loooooong time ago from amazon.com... it was already delayed once.. lets see what it says now.

*goes to see*

Delayed items
1 of: Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar, by DAVID HODGSON
- Updated shipping estimate: November 25 - December 2
- Updated delivery estimate: December 10 - December 28

Delayed again.. what a surprise

Anyway, I'm not gonna cancel my order because it includes other stuff too. And it's cheaper than the UK version because of the low dollar price

 

[CMOTDeakin]

It was doing this to me with the actual game, it said the delivery estimate was middle of December when I ordered it a few days ago, it arrived the next morning

 

[Sashswash]

I'd cancel it and order from ebgames.com guys. I got mine from that site, and it came quickly and well packaged! (note that they don't ship on weekends). Oh, and it's a GREAT book btw! :thumbs:
