Just got back in town epecting Halloween and F4-SS and Halloween is here and SS has not shipped. Did anyone get theres from Amazon yet?

u_nick · 10-03-2007, 02:50 AM

I got mine from Amazon. Shipped yesterday and arrived today. :\

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 02:51 AM

Dang, mine has been preordered awhile, I wonder why it hasn't shipped?

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 02:58 AM

I just called Amazon and they said it was delayed till 10/09. Is this correct?

Nope I have one in hand at the moment. I just cannot use it on my 1200.

evo_dadi · 10-03-2007, 03:00 AM

the tracking on mine says tomorrow or by thursday but i might get it tomorrow since its already close to my local ups.

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 03:01 AM

Oh well, maybe it will ship tomorrow. Strange it did not ship with Halloween since on the same order.

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 03:03 AM

It says Oct. 9 on their site now... Did they not order enough?

That's my understanding as well.

I just canceled my order with Ama-Oh by the way would you like to know about HD-DVD-zon and found one on eBay for $25 & FREE SHIPPING! I've seen them selling there for over $35!!!

Still 2 left last time I checked....

Im from canada and mine shipped on monday from amazon.com..should arrive on thursday.

I dont think they ship the orders first to those who preordered it first. They just ship the orders as they get them once its the release date. I work at a distribution plant so I have a good idea how it works. Orders that are suppose to ship ASAP are usually identified, but it doesnt mean that the workers will necessarily 'pick' those orders before the normal ones. They all just get thrown together.

And just like that....they're gone.

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 03:28 AM

True...but why is the date on the site changed to 10/09 now?

u_nick · 10-03-2007, 03:44 AM

i gotta imagine maybe they just got in less stock than they were told, and their next shipment will come in tthen?

also, do you have prime? they could have pushed regular orders back a week because demand from Prime users was high or something?

we definitely know there was no delay, so i gotta imagine its a stock problem, one way or another.

Copywriter · 10-03-2007, 04:51 AM

Like everyone is saying, it's probably a stock issue.

I watched FF2 tonight and I saw tons of them today.

jlangner · 10-03-2007, 03:31 PM

Yea I have Prime. I figured a Stock Issue. Maybe (blu colored glasses) they just got ALOT more orders than they expected. hehe.

I received the same email today. I'm just going to wait for Amazon, though.

'Tis a bummer.

Blu Titan · 10-03-2007, 06:14 PM

Amazon usually sends those e-mails when they need to restock. They usually get more copies within a day or two. My copy was shipped yesterday.

Jim L · 10-03-2007, 06:18 PM

I hate to buy movies at BB but at least they price-matched Target ($29.99).

BB had a ton in stock BTW (~30 copies) when I picked mine up at noon yesterday.

I have had orders split up because they ship from different warehouses. That could be the problem. Wonder if Amazon sold out of F4... Hmmm.
