Amazon Collector's Edition Pre-Orders Shipping Late?

Archive: 31 posts


I recently checked on my Collector's Edition pre-order and there was a message stating the game wouldn't actually ship until sometime between January 25 - January 29. However, the main item page still says it will be available January 18. Is anyone else pre-ordering from Amazon getting this message? Sheesh, I wonder if there's just too much hype to get everything shipped on time! 2011-01-02 02:58:00

I just checked Amazon and mine also said the estimated delivery date is around January 24th.
Well, at least it's better than never.

If that's the case. Then I'll be canceling mine. I'm getting on day one. One way or another.

Edit: I went and checked my amazon account, and mine said it would arrive on Jan 18. I ordered mine back in July, and paid for release day arrival. Hope this helps.

When did you order it...and did you select release date delivery? I just checked my order and it says that it's arriving on Jan 18.2011-01-02 19:09:00

My date is still the 18th... I ordered it pretty much when it was announced, so maybe it depends on when you put your order in? Or check your shipping options, maybe you could upgrade for a few bucks.2011-01-02 19:16:00

It more than likely has to do with your shipping option. If you picked standard shipping then that is why it has a different date. Release date delivery is only 0.992011-01-02 19:24:00

WTH! yet that LBP 2 changed its release date to this time the collector's edition that we have to wait longer? But why? that was not enough all these months? 2011-01-02 20:04:00

I preordered mine in the first few days it was announced, and I paid for the day one shipping. If you don't pay for the day one shipping, you won't get it for a few days or weeks.2011-01-02 22:23:00

Wow, if it wasn't for this thread, I would have been stuck waiting for it to arrive until the 24th.
Changed it to release date delivery, now I won't be whining about how long it took to arrive.

Hmm, I didn't see the option for day one delivery. Do I need to re-submit my order? The problm is I'm getting this through my Dad and I'm not sure he agrees with re-submitting and paying the extra fee.2011-01-03 00:18:00

I'm pretty sure there is a button to edit your shipping option somewhere and the fee is 99 cents. (Sorry if I looked mean, I didn't know if you knew how much the fee was and just wanted to inform you.)

I just checked mine and it says arrives the 18th. I ordered it the day it was announced so I'm not so surprised. Even if it was pushed back a little, your still getting the game. I wouldn't be too upset over it.2011-01-03 03:54:00

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I wasn't going to get my game until the 26th unless I had read this. For .99 cents I will now have it on the 18th! If you are not seeing the release day delivery option on Amazon.com, you might have to change the shipping address from a P.O. Box to your street address. (I had to) Thanks agian, I would have been one bitter little sackboy waiting an extra week!2011-01-03 20:23:00

Mine is still saying the 18th. I picked release date delivery and I don't know if they charged me or not. I don't think so. Hopefully it'll be at my door when I get home from work on the 18th! 2011-01-03 21:07:00

mine says 18th but hopefully i get a chance to download some kind of possible release week DLC and it at least gets here by the 26th. i'm so sick of having hypothetical LBP situations to rant about2011-01-03 22:09:00

I've ordered plenty of games from Amazon with release day shipping and it's been wonderful. I changed my LBP2 order a few weeks ago from 1 day to release day since the option wasn't available when I originally placed the pre-order. From past experience I fully expect to receive LBP2 on the 18th and for a mere 99 cents. 2011-01-03 22:41:00

I will have to check my order... I had selected the early day option or whatever quite awhile ago. So if I get it cool, if not.. oh well.. I am not that worried about it.2011-01-03 23:08:00

I ordered mine today, and it will get here in the 18th, so I don't think when you ordered matters at all as long as there's availability.

The problem is that Amazon defaults to the free super saver shipping (which is nice because you don't have to pay) and people miss the .99 option. I got GT5 like that and was pleasantly surprised that my game got here that day.

I pre-ordered my Collector's Edition the day it was announced. Originally, release-date delivery wasn't available so I chose 1-day delivery, it was expensive but worth it. It was going to arrived between the 22nd and 25th. In September I checked again and release-date delivery was available so I selected it, the total shipping cost is $0.99. I was excited because aside from cheaper shipping, I was going to receive it on the 18th.2011-01-05 03:19:00

I ordered min only about a week ago & it will be here on the 18th with release date delivery, I have ordered a lot or products at the last min with release date deliver & they haven't failed me yet. This is the reason I order most tings from amazon nowadays.2011-01-05 22:59:00

Scared me for a minute there hahaha! I chose release date shipping luckily and received no such message. Plus, I have Amazon Prime, so release date shipping is absolutely free!! I highly recommend Amazon Prime, much benefit!2011-01-06 04:46:00

Well there's no way I'm opting out of Super Saver Shipping. So that basically means I can't get it on release day then?2011-01-08 16:34:00

Not unless you upgrade your shipping. I know that the Best Buys in the Los Angeles area have them to preorder now with the option to pick up at the store, so you could try that where you live.

I ordered the regular version of the game back on August 3rd with release date shipping and I'm a bit concerned. I have a message saying:


Important Message
We thought you should know that we're experiencing a delay with your order. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please take note of the revised shipping and delivery estimates marked in red below.

And yet the delivery estimate is still the same:


Shipment #1: Not Yet Shipped
Delivery estimate: January 18, 2011

The 'Not Yet Shipped' is scary considering it's supposed to come tomorrow.....

Just checked Amazon again and my "important message" is now gone and it changed to "Shipping Soon"! Still estimated delivery for tomorrow. So all seems well

Edit - actually, all is well! It's been shipped and will be delivered tomorrow!
