Devil_Nader Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe instead of getting it from amazon you should have gotten it from gamestop i got it from them and they e-mailed me the early access code as soon as i ordered it. and i will go pick up the copy of it when it releases on the 20th.

Hollow_Man Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) The official Amazon statement said it would take a couple of days to update all the orders. I wouldnt worry about it until tomorrow. You could always call them too. Honestly, even if mine said 20th what would it matter? It solves the issues of really missing the launch date. (20th) I spoke to them already and it was hopeless. The CSRs say they can't do anything about it. With luck it'll get sent out tomorrow, when it's now supposed to, so it arrives on Friday the 16th. And yes, in the end as long as I get it by the 20th, I can't complain that much. -HM Edited December 14, 2011 by Hollow_Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash-X Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mines had 20th still, so what I did was just reset the shipping option and it now says the 16th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow_Man Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've tried resetting the shipping option and payment method more than a few times, and no matter what it always says the 20th. Who knows...it's probably resetting some counter throwing me to the back of the line as to when they'll change my ship date... -HM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damasca Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Actually, I just ordered a copy of the game today as a gift and it says it will receive release day delivery, and that release day is 12/16. Even more strange, my own order still says release day delivery for 12/20. I'm curious if either of those are really correct now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWhiting Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Getting the collectors edition shouldn't have penalties attached. Nor should the SE users. While I'm a CE user myserlf, there's no reason to act all elitist about this. We weren't promised "faster shipping" because we ordered a CE. They've GOT the items already printed out and ready to go, that's a no brainer. The problem is that the items won't get to the shipper in most cases, in time for release day. I fully agree, BW needs to extend the 'you need the key' delay, that's a no brainer. Problem is that once they do this, they open themselves up to further abuse, by individuals who have codes entered already, and then cancel the pre-order. It's really a no-win situation here. If they extend the deadline, they're screwed because they open themselves up for abuse. If they don't, they get impatient customers chewing them out, crying because they can't play for a few days. Patience, young grasshopper... It will arrive when it arrives. Seems quite a few people need to learn and understand this concept. If you want it sooner, hey, cancel your pre-order, go stand in line @ your local walmart/bestbuy/circuit city/gamestop/target/insertlocalstorehere . Internet orders will ALWAYS get a bit of a delay, due to shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the order Click on change payment method Click on retry payment method This should update your order to the 16th. It did for me, and has done so for a lot of others.

Cearbhall Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm in the same boat as Hollow_Man, nothing I do changes the date. Not too worried just yet, tomorrow I will be. Those who are seeing shipping date change, did you order SE or CE? I ordered the CE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Klaen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm a South Australian - my partner and I have ordered the SE via Amazon. We have pre-order early game access and are playing at the moment. Both amazon accounts list a post December 25th delivery at the time of writing this post. I will be giving amazon another 12 hours to update my order and tell me it has shipped (Priority International Courrier 2-5 days delivery) meaning if the stars align I will have both boxes by the 21st Aussie (20th American). Failing the update, I will be cancelling my pre-order with Amazon and purchasing a digital key, which will be sent to me on the 20th so I can continue playing. My ONLY concern is that cancelling my Amazon pre-order may kill my early access... I'm not sure if anyone can confirm this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed I cancelled a SE pre-order for a CE. They mailed me a completely different code for the CE Couldn't actually put anything in there, since the SE code was already in SE code still worked to get in on day 1 Amazon says they're going to cancel those, but they never did, at least for mine, and it's not like they knew that I was going to order the CE.

swooper Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I keep getting this sick feeling that amazon won't ship on the 15th for internationals...well atleast us aussies and kiwis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgepro Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) I originally ordered a CE from BB, they gave me know real concrete info, SO...when I saw Amazon restocked..I cancelled BB and ordered from Amazon. I have Amazon Prime...so I have a new preorder code and a Guaranteed arrival (not shipping) date of Dec 20. I feel much more relieved and will forever prolly buy from Amazon. They just seem more aware of and receptive to customer needs (especially with gaming) more than the others, at least in my opinion and experience. Now my question is do I input the NEW preorder code...or not. I also have a Origin DDE ...so playing will not be a real issue. My DDE has an order date of 11/24 ...so in a day or two I should be getting into Early gameplay. Also If this didnt work..I believe I read somewhere they would allow DDE from Origin around 12/15-16/11 for Early Access.

Hollow_Man Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you already redeemed a preorder code, the new one won't do anything for you. You can give it away to someone. They'll probably get a day or two of early access before being shut off on the 20th. --- Can I give my Pre-Order Code to someone else? Yes, but only if you have not already registered it to your own Star Wars: The Old Republic account. Once a Pre-Order Code is attached to a Star Wars: The Old Republic account it is locked to that account. Pre-Order Codes that are redeemed on our Code Redemption Center are locked to the account through which the code is redeemed and cannot be transferred. http://www.swtor.com/preorder/faq --- -HM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artorivs Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 For anyone else that's frustrated with Amazon.ca pre-orders, Amazon.com has some CE available. You pay more in shipping, but my expected delivery date is 22nd at the latest instead of 29th at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyswat Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Woohooo, I just got the email from Amazon's saying they are shipping mine on the 19th. I'm in Brisbane Australia and I paid for the fastest courier, and it says it should arrive been the 21st and 27th so I may be able to play on Christmas day. Everything is crossed! As much as this has been frustrating, I think Amazon and EA/Bioware are really trying to fix this for us. Now if only they will give us that grace period back, I will be over the moon.
