Ugh, are Gamestop and Amazon the only ones carrying this game? I can't find it anywhere. Not Wal-mart, or Best Buy, or Target. I suppose Amazon is the lesser of two evils, and I have around $90 of gift certificates I need to redeem, but I am really just tired of dealing with their crap.
[quote name='skiizim']Do you have prime? When is the delivery estimate? When I didn't continue my service with Amazon I saw how lame they are with FSS, they sometimes wait for the delivery estimate to near before they even ship.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I went through this with Hyrule Historia. I pre-ordered last August, and the book came out this past January. But people who preordered within 48 hours of the books release were having their books shipped well before me. That REALLY pissed me off.
Prime members get free 2 day shipping. Fine. I get that. Ship the damn books on the same day, in order of when it was pre-ordered, and they can get there's earlier while I wait for my free shipping. I have no problem with that. But apparently they get priority on pre-orders. Several prime members who preordered at the very last minute had their books in their hands before mine even shipped.
What if I had tried to pre-order the limited edition book? I would have been SoL because "lol we gotta fill those prime orders before anyone else!" And to add insult to injury, the book came with the corners really bent up and the spine damaged. Complaining to customer service did nothing; they did offer to let me ship it back and send me another one via the super saver shipping, but I probably would have ended up with another beat up book. They didn't offer anything else, not even an apology. That's not the first time I've recieved damaged merchandise from them, but I was not expecting a hardcover book to have the shit beaten out of it like that with no cushioning or bubblewrap whatsoever.
Anyways, the whole experience really soured me on Amazon. I'll never order any collector's anything or preorder from them ever again, and I don't use the site for much of anything anymore besides burning through my gift certificates that I keep getting or price matching at Best Buy.
