7-10 Business Day shipping

[Shadow Conception]

I preordered GTA4, chose the free shipping option at Circuit City, and have am greeted by an email that says "YOUR ORDER WILL ARRIVE ON MAY 13TH!!!1"

My question. 7-10 business day shipping seriously takes that long? What're the chances I'll get it by this Saturday? Anyone have specialized experience in these matters?

I'm thinking wishfully right now, but if I don't get GTA4 by Saturday, I'll be quite pissed.

Why not cancel the order and reorder and pay for shipping. Or, go to a store and pick it up tomorrow.

Depends on when you placed the order and where you live Shadow Conception. BTW, as QurazyQuisp pointed out, cancel the order and place the order tomorrow morning to pick it up locally and you'll receive a $10.00 CC gift card to boot!

Generally snail mail here in Canada takes 5-10 minimum business days to cross the country. No delivery on Sat/Sun of course.

I forgot, search the CC website for the following UPC # 710425390128 and you will see the deal I was referring to

The game is already shipping, so is it possible I could cancel the order right now and still get refunded immediately?

You selected free shipping. That means you get the lowest priority in getting the game shipped out. You also get the slowest shipping service...probably something similar to media mail or parcel post (5-9 days).

And also, Circuit City's distribution center is 37 miles from here. Does this mean anything at all? There a chance I might receive it before Saturday's end?

refunds always take days to show, even on in store returns.

here is an idea, go to retail, buy a copy, when the CC one gets to your house, take that one to the retail store and refund it

 

[Shadow Conception]

You think I'm really idiotic enough to not have already thought of that?

I don't have another $60 to blow, so I'd be a sitting duck until the refund would go through.

wtf do you want people to help you with? there is nothing we can do to get you order to get to you faster. just wait it out since you can't afford to purchase it elsewhere.

 

[Mr Pickles]

Did you just ask if 7-10 day shipping takes 7-10 days?

One would assume so considering you were idiotic enough to order something you wanted by saturday on the previous wednesday (2 business days) and went for free shipping. IF you don't get GTA by saturday it's only cause that's the situation you've created for yourself. If you do, you're lucky.

Realisitically it probably won't take till the 13th? But I don't imagine it getting to you by saturday.

Also : Have you tried just calling their Customer Service and seeing if it's shipped out/upgrade shipping/cancel order/do instore pickup/etc? ATOT can suggest but we certainly can't change this for you. Do you have the ability to track the package? HAve they informed you YOUR package has shipped?

What? credit card refund is on the spot. so as long as you do it before the statement is mailed to you, you are in the clear.

Let me go step by step in case you missed it


1. get your ass to a retail store
2. pay for GTA4 with a Credit Card
3. take it home and play
4. when online order shows up, take the item to the retail store and refund
5. go home and play some more

ok?
