[b]Me:[/b] My order was supposed to be release day delivery and now it is saying September 11. What happened?
[b]Melanie:[/b] Hello, my name is Melanie. I'll certainly try to help regarding your concern.
May I have please your order number so I can check this for you?
[b]Me:[/b] XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX
[b]Melanie:[/b] Thanks let me check please :)
Allow me just a moment please
[b]Me:[/b] Sure.
[b]Melanie:[/b] Thanks for holding, I'm really sorry to hear that your order won't be delivered on the release date, I was checking on the website and this is the sooner that we can deliver it. I'll also submit a request so our specialists can ship it as soon as possible. Also I'd like to issue a $5 credit to your account for this delay.
[b]Me:[/b] That's very disappointing. But thank you.
Am I assured to receive the item on the 11th? This is an extremely high demand item and I'm just afraid there won't be enough.
Especially since my ship date is now later
[b]Melanie:[/b] No worries, due to the high demand the delivery date was rescheduled but I can assure you that your order is scheduled to be delivered on Thursday.
[b]Me:[/b] ok, thanks.
[b]Melanie:[/b] You're welcome. The $5 credit has been issued to your account.
[b]Me:[/b] thanks again.
[b]Melanie:[/b] You're welcome. Before we end the chat I want to make sure your issue has been resolved to your satisfaction.
[b]Me:[/b] as best as it can be, i suppose. :)
[b]Melanie:[/b] That's great to hear :) Alright well thanks for reaching out to us and have a great one! We're always available if you ever need us to help out!
I'm super pissed, but hey, now I have a $5 credit to buy some bubble gum. Hah.
I guess I'll see everyone 2 days late. @#$*#$%^%%$*%W@$%^%&!$#^!!!!

I ordered the Xbox One Ghost Edition on August 8 with shipping via Amazon Prime.

[b]<edit 2>[/b]
This afternoon, I decided to try again to see if they could change my Prime shipping to 1 day...
You are now connected to Amazon from Amazon.com
[b]Me:[/b] I pre-ordered this a month ago and was looking forward to release date delivery (tomorrow). However, today it was changed to Thursday. Please help.
[b]Amazon:[/b] Hi , my name is Maria. I will be very glad to assist you with your inquiry right away
[b]Me:[/b] Order # XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX
Amazon: oh yes it has been happening today I am sorry there is a little delay due to all the delivery that is going to the same place I am sorry ! it will be there on Thursday , I see
[b]Me:[/b] Yes. Can it be bumped up to 1-day shipping?
It was scheduled for release day arrival yesterday.
[b]Amazon:[/b] ok let me try to change the delivery date to see if at least to can get it tomorrow , just a moment
well Prymal I have changed the shipping to one day shipping and it still gives me the same delivery date . in this case I think at least it will be quicker to deliver than the others because it is a fast shipping and I have also issued a promotional certificate for $5 due to the inconvenience please verify the email I have sent you
[b]Me:[/b] yes, i have received the emails. thank you.
[b]Amazon:[/b] I hope this solves your issue! Would there be anything else you'd like me to do on my end to help you out today?
[b]Me:[/b] that should take care of it. thanks again.
[b]Amazon:[/b] Alright well thanks for reaching out to us and have a great one! We're always available if you ever need us to help out! It has been a pleasure to assist you :)
I've now upped my credit to $10. I'm okay with that.

That sucks. I hope it does somehow gets bumped to come in tomorrow for you. I doubt redbox would have it in their kiosks now and I rarely use them so idk. It be worth it to pay just a small portion for a day or two. If that at all is possible then at least you'll have it installed. If not just keep hitting up the chat and keep getting $5. By the time you get your game you'll have it paid off. Hence they refunded you for the delay.

Edited by Anonymous: 9/8/2014 8:13:43 PMthats pretty nice of them....because im sure they could check if they have given ya 5$ credit already..10$ and hopefully a push on a day to get ya your stuff a bit faster...guys again this is something you have to expect with a game as well known and promoted as destiny...just because you can preorder an item dosnt mean they will be able to ship it let alone meet the demand...luckily i believe bungie has their shit together proof of this is in your post..all you can hope for is that it "does" actually arrive..partly why i went for the Digital download on the ps4 was due to this worry...but i did it my own way for my own reasons i know some of you dont have the next gen console yet and are getting the bundle for said reason..patience is a virtue i suppose..
-
Sorry man, mine also is coming tomorrow
-
Ahhhh, I hope this doesn't happen with my copy, so far it still shows tomorrow, but this freaked me out. Sorry for your troubles man! That really sucks.
-
Yeah wait what noooooo
-
That really sucks. My boyfriend made me cancel my ghost edition on Saturday for money reasons (I was asked that day to work a freelance job in my free time that would have covered the cost by the way). Then he went out to dinner last night and paid half the bill for all 4 people. No ghost edition for me (paid for by me), but dinner and drinks at a nice restaurant for him and someone else. So yeah....there's that. Hope your delivery comes on time :)
-
Well at least they tried, and you got $10 out of it.
-
This is another reason you buy digital.
-
Ouch... I feel fortunate. My ghost edition from GAME is due tomorrow morning before 12 noon... is release day still so I'm happy :-) was hoping for it a day early though... They normally ship pre-orders by royal mail, which means I would have had it today... but because of its size, they are using DPD instead

I had a very similar experience this morning albeit with a different result. In the end I was very lucky to reach someone willing to upgrade me to one day shipping free of charge. Here's the convo: Initial Question: Hi, I preordered this item in June but with a card that has since been replaced. I updated the card 2 months ago in my Amazon account but didn't know until this morning that the order didn't automatically update. The order is now going through but my problem is that the expected delivery date is not until Thursday. Is there any way to get it here tomorrow as originally planned? I have been looking forward to playing this game at launch since preordering it. [b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Hello, my name is Megan. I'll certainly try to help regarding your concern. [b]Me: [/b]Ok [b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Thank you for your patience. I have upgraded the shipping method on the order to one day shipping. The item is now scheduled to be delivered to you tomorrow. [b]Me: [/b]Awesome! [b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Is there anything else I can help you with today? [b]Me:[/b] That was all. I now know in the future to update the order after reading about this. [b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Thank you for chatting with me on Amazon.com. We look forward to seeing you again soon. When you're ready, please click the end chat link. Enjoy your day! [b]Me:[/b] Thanks!

I would have sweet talked Melanie into hooking me up with $10.
-
Hah Suck It!
-
Eh. Life sucks, but if it blew, we'd be in space
-
Shit happens How we deal with it is what separates from lower life forms... Sometimes...
-
damn..just be lucky you got the ghost edition at all, ordering it a month after they announced the special editions..most people weren't that lucky to get one...i ordered my PS4 ghost edition on 7/7 right before they sold out...mine is in transit right now from amazon.
-
Edited by roxaskid2: 9/8/2014 5:19:22 PMSame happened to me too this morning. =/ 2 days...and I requested off from work on tuesday and wednesday. Hopefully a miracle will happen and it'll arrive sooner. Pre-ordered the limited edition.
-
Edited by gilded_hotdog: 9/8/2014 5:12:10 PMWalmart hasn't even said mine (ghost) shipped and they only have 2day. So looks like thursday. I cracked under the pressure though and am getting a standard tonight from game stop that I preordered back when it was announced. When you got a poster for it. I justified this move by telling myself i'll grind this game to the ground so I better have a back up anyway. Also had some titles laying around for trade in.
-
Yeah that's some bad luck. But hey, on the lighter side of things, you weren't one of the people whose preorder got cancelled altogether. I know at least a couple people personally who had their Ghost Edition cancelled and had to settle for either the standard or Digital Guardian editions.
-
$5 bucks... Yeah that makes up for two days late. *slap*
-
mine says its getting ready to be dispatched... since about 5 hours -_- it's 7pm now
-
oh christ, I would have pushed her for more than 5 dollars.
-
Mine still says the 9th thank gawd. For those who have a later date, where do you live?
-
As someone who used to work in customer service, thank you for being so polite and civil. I know that was really disappointing. If I can't play Tuesday I'll feel crazy! But you handled it well. Hopefully good karma will come your way.
-
If you waited last min. To preorder then that happens. Probably ran out of stock.
-
physical copy FTW and now for burn and hate to come
