Buyed SE V from Strategy First?

[Q]

I buyed SE V from Strategy First three days ago and received soon the order confirmation. However the shipment confirmation, which they promised, is still lacking.
If I check my order on their website it says "order in process".
A e-mail sent to SF1 is without reply until now.
Anyone who bought the game from SF1 can tell me, if this is normal?

I ordered on the 17th and got my confirmation on the 18th. Although for overseas if I recall correctly so maybe there might be a delay releated to that...?

I've ordered mine from strategy first - I got the shipping confirmation on the 18th, so I expect delivery 4-6 working days after that for USPS international priority shipping.

Emails to them take about 3 days to be answered btw

I ordered on Oct 12th, got order confirmation on 13th and am still waiting for shipment confirmation. Order status says "Order in process". However, a few days ago it was "Order submitted" for a short time, then reverted back to "Order in process".

I'd also like to know what's going on?

@matryx: When did you place your order?

[Matryx]

October the 10th - about 5 minutes after the pre-order was available

[Q]

Thank you for your replies. It seems therefore to be normal that shipment confirmation takes some days at least for overseas (Not that this is good!).
Will post it here, if I know more.

[Q]

Just received the shipment confirmation from Strategy First.
Now I will see how long the travel to Europe takes.

I hear SFI sends it across the Atlantic via rowboat. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I ordered from S1st on the 11th I believe. On the 14th a friend said he got it at Gamestop here in town. I went and checked and what do you know! There it is! So I've been playing one from Gamestop and my wife told me today that the order finally showed up on the CC. Moral of the story? Don't direct buy from S1st. Also I have an extra copy for sale now. lol

Received notification that my order has shipped on 20th. Having ordered on 12th, so it took 8 days from ordering to shipping.

Matryx ordered on 10th, and his order was shipped on 18th, also 8 days.

Some kind of pattern here... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No, no. Return the copy shipped from S1st to gamestop (unopened, of course); they won't know the difference! No need to find a buyer. I dunno what Gamestop's lenght of return period is though.

[Hugh Manatee]

Actually most gamestops open the game boxes and "gut" them(remove the media) and set the empty box out to display with a big sticker on it that says "empty box please see assosiate"(and people still jack the empties.....). Then you take it to the register and they unlock the case and get the media out.

Mine also arrived today (24th) - of course I was out at the time so I have to pick it up tomorrow, but it gives an idea of shipping times http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Edit: also typical that I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week or two http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif so I can't play until I get back in November.

Ordered 17th

Received 26th

Hurray!

6 days for the shipment to Europe is quite fast.

Installed and patched the game without problems.

Ordered on 16th
Shipped on 20th
Still waiting, maybe the rowboat was blown off course ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

OTOH my Dom3 order made an amazingly fast 4 days from shipment to reception, Shrapnel definitely has better rowers than SFI ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

That's because Shrapnel uses Viking Ninjas!
