ObtuseCircle Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Once upon a time I had my CE ordered from Amazon since July 23rd. Then I found out today I couldn't change my payment option without canceling my order. What a sad day indeed. Now after countless hours of phone calls and live chat agents named "Queen" I have come to the conclusion that they don't care and won't/can't help. Goodbye CE! So, yeah I'm fairly angry at the fact that I have to cancel it, or it'll cancel itself rather. Then there's no other copies available at amazon. Even tried to ask if I could just get the same copy I pre-ordered after I canceled. They said NOPE. So sad face and semi rant topic aside: Are there any other retailers shipping before 12/20? Random thing I want to know. Seems the only retailer with CE copies left is GameStop too. Man do I hate Amazon more than Gamestop now. Should I just not bother and get the DDE?

Kylazin Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Why on Hutta did you wait to the LAST minute in order to rectify your payment information? If they didn't charge you today, they would of charged you Monday. Is a few days really the difference you needed to fix the problem? I do believe the fault here is yours.

Cuspin Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You can try to buy a giftcard for yourself with the new payment and use that on your order. Have done that in the past and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObtuseCircle Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'd tried several times before you see. The issue was every time I tried to change anything it would try and cancel my release date shipping. So I figured it was some kind of issue that would be resolved. Little did I know.

Have done that in the past and it works. Wish I'd have known that before messing with support. They eventually messed up my release date shipping as well. So at the end of the day I would have gotten on the 20th regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delsana Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832130291 You prob won't get it on release date shipping though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtemisEntrerie Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I had some luck with Amazon today actually they changed my delivery option to Release Day Delivery for free and say I'll get my CE tomorrow. Only issue was for some odd reason they said my payment method was invalid and I had to update my payment method before tomorrow or the order would be cancelled.

RasMajereAD Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I changed my payment method over a week ago on Amazon and had no issue with my CE. It did not require me to cancel anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toat Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 your infamiliarity with a companys policies, and your lack of planning (why can't you use original payment method entered?) is NOT said company screwing you. *moves on to next tread* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, didn't think of them. Wish I knew if other retailers are shipping today and such like Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moiraesfate Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm calling bull on that. I changed my pre-order delivery option day before yesterday. I received an email from amazon saying that my order was shipped today and would arrive tomorrow. So please stop trolling. What you say is not true.

Granted it should be very clear that this is how things are. I was never made aware of this when placing my order. And I can't use the same payment option due to it being with a bank I no longer bank with due to moving across states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change your card, it's the billing address change that is the difficult thing as each card number is linked to an address back at their HQ. So if you had a Chase card from Arizona that went to an Arizona residence and you then moved to Michigan and had a Flagstar card here, you would not be able to use your previous without using that Arizona residence as the billing, you could use that card and change the shipping though. Make sure your billing address is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened believe it or not and I'm 100% certain. I only created this thread to vent said frustration, see what others new about early ship dates, and then see if I should just go DDE. Though I've decided against the latter. So...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all were very apologetic saying I'd have to cancel or find a way to pay with the original payment option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delsana Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Then it looks like it's either Best Buy or NewEgg for you. I do apologize for your predicament. I'd never get a digital only copy, that'd be stupid in my eyes, so I got the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
