BUMP here too

 

im from the UK and im going away till monday in a few hours....

 

ive waited all week nd now it seems like its gonna arrive when im away (Murphys law)

 

the problem IS though... how they work it here is that they try to deliver it to you, if that fails they try the day after, if that fails they send it back to sender, so my SE package will be sent back to Stardock in the US.

 

then ive paid for a game including postal that i wont get, its annoying as i cannot call anyone or arrange anything - and its likely on its way with me having no clue when it will arrive.

 

if i had the number of the company sending it, or handling it my end i could call up and arrange them to send it later, or to another address while im away. at least with Amazon i get a postal code with whoever has sent it.

I don't think we'll see a confirmation. Stardock doesn't appear to focus on delivering boxed goods and they don't provide a way to get the status of an order and their customer service department isn't willing to give order information either. The response I received from someone just told me they ship via Priority Mail and that was it.

There's not much to give. I don't belive USPS actually provides any tracking information for priority mail.

Curious when I will receive this

That's all fine, but it would be nice to get notification that it has shipped.

Kind of removes the point of pre-order if I could have picked it up days sooner by not pre-ordering.

I was actually going to come ask this question too. $10 seems like a lot for 5-7 day ground, so I expected to see it sooner rather than later. I may shoot off an email to sales to see if they can give me more info.

If you pre-ordered you should be able to download via Impulse and play a more current version of the game than is in the box right now.

The USPS can provide tracking information for Priority Mail.  I ordered the Elemental book from Amazon and they shipped it via USPS Priority Mail and sent me a tracking number—I just tracked it; it's out for delivery today so I should be getting it in an hour or so.

It's an optional service for Priority Mail and other services, however (called "Delivery Confirmation" for some cryptic reason ;) ).  It costs a whopping $0.19-0.80 per mailing so perhaps Stardock was cutting costs. :D

I pre-ordered 1 LE through Gamestop.  That was sitting on my front door step on Tuesday the 24th.

I pre-ordered another LE and a standard Box edition direct from Impulse.  I have no idea where they are.....

I already downloaded it and the patches. The point is I could have done the same thing getting the boxed version at retail, saved the shipping and had it days before I will apparently get it. Not impressed.

I got an email from sales today that my LE was shipped and should received it in 3-5 days.  I am assuming it was shipped on the release date so I should get it today or tomorrow.  Of course with the mail service I get, it might make a great Christmas present.
