will anyone who pre-ordered the CT from gamestop cancel their order for this? Those bonus item they include are pretty slick.. but probably arent that useful...let me hear your thought

Their rating isn't too hot at www.resellerratings.com. Anyone ordered from them before?
Yes, they're fine as long as you don't mind DHL...

$22 for a 20 page art book, mini-soundtrack, art cell and metal tin that'll look nice but fit awkwardly on my case. Hmm, tempting...

I've done about a half-dozen orders with Outpost.com.

Their customer service is so-so, though their prices aren't bad.

I had my CE of RE4 with Gamestop, and I'm still sticking with it, since I have free overnight shipping on it.

I've been ordering from Outpost.com for over 5 years now (when they had free overnite shipping). IMO, they are one of the best online retailers.

You can order up unitl midnight and still have your item delivered the next day.

Because they (GS) are the ones putting it together. What do you mean, "It was a rhetorical question"? :)

The nice thing about the CE being made by GS is that it will be a lot less common than, say, the Halo 2 CE (which can still be found in stores, lol). If you anticipate ever wanting the bonus stuff, get it from GS now, or expect to pay high eBay markups later. If you know that you will never care about the tin, et al, the outpost deal is a great price for a game that is blowing the critics away.

I think they only PM B&M stores, So unless you have a FRY's near you (assuming this is happening in store), no.

They have a warehouse in Ohio. Some products are shipped from there.

I actually find DHL to be pretty fast. I just hate there policy of leaving things when you're not home. If you're not home DHL will leave your package outside your house, somewhere. It's like an easter egg hunt, where did they put it this time. :lol:

I preordered RE4 from FYE.com already. But I hear it takes 2 weeks to get it, so I was thinking of buying it from outpost.com and play it until I get the FYE copy and return it to outpost... Is this a good idea? Also, how much more quickly will I get the game if I preorder from outpost?

I wish there would have been some mention of this before I placed my order. I'll probably not cancel though, as I don't really have time to play it right now anyway.

you have to select ground shipment or something before you complete your order and it will show you in the total page.

You have to click on ground shipping on the last page before you order it. It'll subtract it then. It took me a while also.

It's not showing free shipping for me either. I selected ground shipping on the last page and it shows the price as $6.93. This is the page right before you submit the order.

So I called the sales department and found out that you actually have to complete the order for it to subtract the shipping charge. However when I checked the order email it still had the charge for shipping on it. I called outpost back and they did a reversal on it and sent me a new email with a new order number. Not sure if everyone will have the same problem.

I called last week and they told me all orders ship Wedesday January 12.

I started ordering from Outpost a few months ago. Every single order I've placed has shipped the day of release. I'd expect RE to definitely ship Wednesday, and I should get it by Friday or Monday at the latest. I've never had a problem with them, even when people post that you get games weeks after release.

Every time I've done a preorder with them, it always shows up as backordered. I guess they just do that since the game isn't in stock yet, it technically is a backorder.

You can still get free shipping if you call, but the lady i talked to said that they were out of stock until their feb. shipment and said that the feb shipment was backordered also, so i dont know when i would get the game.

All preorders will ship on 12 January. Anytime you preorder an item at outpost, it is considered a backorder and the item ships 1 day after the release date.

Customer Service always says that the system does not state when it will ship.

Don't cancel prematurely.

blueweltall
01-11-2005, 05:26 PM
I think the rep think the game come out on the Feb 11th instead of Jan 11. Because that is what the computer is showing. So thats probably way they say its back ordered till February. I'm guessing its a little miscommuncation and do you guys think every rep have a clue about the products your calling in about? They probably never heard of the game RE4. They just type it in and tell you the date that the computer have it which is a mistake. So don't act all crazy like those folks in RE4.

Less maybe and more hopefully. Saving 12 bucks is great but I'm going to crack and read some type of spoilers soon. Must...resist...and...continue... playing...demo.

I feel the same way too. I hope I will get the game on Friday.

Argh, no email this morning & order page still shows "back-ordered".

I have a feeling I'm in the 2/15/05 pile!!! :cry:

Back-ordered for me, as well.

Called, Cancelled, and Buy from local Fry's for $2 more....

After shipping it comes to $47.00.

Easier to go to the B&M stores at this point.

I placed my order last Friday afternoon and still have only received the 'backordered' email.
If I don't receive anything stating it was shipped by end of next week I will probably cancel.

I called today and got some new info. Apparently Outpost shipped out the earliest orders this week, but those of us who got in on it late will not have to wait until next month. The CSR I spoke to said that due to the complaints they have had they will be shipping a certain amount of RE4s out next Tuesday(18th), instead of Feb. 11th. Just yesterday they were not shipping the rest until Feb., but apparently things have changed(how?). I'm not sure if this will cover everyone, call for yourself w/ your order number to find out.

I also called today but they told me that the games haven't reached their warehouses yet and that there are about 300 people still waiting on orders. He also couldn't give me a date that they would ship. Either their employees don't know what's going on or It's Make Something Up Week.

Whats the cheapest thing on outpost.com that ships free? Isnt that the best way to get RE4 with free shipping? Just get something that also ships free and add it to the order.

I dont think that will do you much good
PLEASE NOTE:
1. If your order contains "eligible" and "non-eligible" items, shipping will be charged for "non-eligible" item(s).
2. If your order contains "eligible" and "non-eligible" items, and if you choose Free Ground Shipping, entire order will be shipped by ground shipping method.
3. Fry's Outpost reserves the rights to change or terminate the Free Ground Shipping promotion at any time without any notice.
So if you buy from Outpost your just going to have to pay for shipping, and that only saves you a few dollars.

Just got off the phone with Outpost. They said it was a miscommunication with the 2/13 date and there was an e-mail sent to all employees about it. Anyway, they told me they didn't get enough Resident Evils for the preorders today, but their next shipment will be on Tuesday, which they hope is enough for preorders. Zelda will ship tomorrow(Friday) for those who preorder, and she said they'd have enough, but you never know.

I wonder if they cut the pre-orders off at a certain time? I'm sure some people who ordered on 1/7 got the game. I ordered the same day, but no automated email telling me its backordered. I ordered at 3:53PM Eastern. Anyone else ordered on 1/7?

I hate outpost.

They lure you with their low prices, but a majority of the time they don't have it in stock and fail to tell you that.

They did that to me when I preordered Metal Gear Solid 3 from them. When I found out they would ship it at least a week late, I promptly cancelled my order.
