Buy.com: Shipping timeframe on games (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Kleist]

Dan said it was Okey-day to ask it here since it's game specific
When does Buy.com usually ship games? Is it on street or do they tend to ship targeting street? I want to know when I should start pannicking on Steel Batallion if I don't get notice

i ordered a HD once from buy.com........the hard drive was three weeks late getting to me AFTER i recieved a tracking number, and i paid for 2 day shipping.

I should say that aside from T2 being 5 days after street, and some SKU mixups on their end with Lethal Weapon DCs, I've had nothing but good service from them, just wondering about games specifically

I only ordered from Buy once and it was horrible. I preordered Silpheed for PS2 a good 4 months before it came out(actually 1 month before original date with 3 months of delays). Anyways, after the game finally did get finished, they didn't ship it for 3 weeks after the local walmart got it in and I eventually cancelled my order.

i pre-ordered metalgear2 for ps2 last year, and it was late a few weeks. idont recommend buy.com.

so in other words, if I don't see a shipping notice by the day before street, it's time to panic?

Just wanted to pop in and say I've had 2 VERY bad experiences with Buy.com. Very ugly indeed...

Sigh, I should probably call BestPrices and see if they can definately get me a copy

why not just go with ol' trusty EBGames.com?

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Becuae I'm getting it from Buy.com about $40 cheaper than EBGames
