I like many others are still awaiting delivery of Blops 2 from Amazon but who's to blame for this. Amazon or Royal Mail ?. I did notice that the game is getting some bad reviews on Amazon and I think it's uncalled for and wrong. It's not the game that's bad. It's the delivery part that's gone bad but all these bad reviews are imo, going to hurt the game and the developers and that's just not right.
I pre-ordered the game back in the beginning of last month and still haven't received it. Is anyone else still waiting for theirs ?.

But you only have their word on that.
After 15 days you can claim for non delivery anyway via Amazon who will either have to refund you or supply a new copy.
What was so wrong that pre ordering in a shop and going to pick it up yourself was not an option, i know a lot of people like to pre order online in the hopes it might come a day or two early and if that is the case then this should a lesson to you, you won't get it early from a shop but you get it on launch day
Pre-ordered Assassins Creed 3 and it arrived on the day but it was for the PS3 even though the order was clearly for the Xbox 360 and even had the picking note inside with it saying the 360 edition. Amazon's fault.
They resent the right copy but this took 3 days to get to me after dispatch. Royal Mail's fault.
Pre-ordered Halo 4 and Amazon didn't dispatch it until late afternoon the day before delivery.
It then got to me 2 days later. I'd assume a combination of Amazon and Royal Mail's fault!
Pre-orders will be from Play from now on.especially as i've had games early from them in the past.
Wow, back off the high horse. Loads of people order online with no intention of getting the game early.
Ridiculous statement.
At least one of them has always turned up. Luckily, one of my mates is always way too lazy to either bother pre-ordering or even nipping to a shop to get it, so I just pass the second copy off to him as soon as it arrives.
Ok not everyone does, but the vast majority
Why do you think shopto is so popular
If it was the 'vast majority' then why is Amazon more popular than Shopto? Notice this thread is about Amazon?
ok but then this thread is about amazon, but my point stands
What point?
You placed a third blame on the thread starter because you assumed they wanted to get the game early. Ordering online from any supplier (Inc Shopto) does not mean that they want the game early. It is ridiculous to say so.
Then chuck in the fact that this thread was about Amazon, your point is really misdirected.
Not everyone wants the game early, some people just want the game delievered to their door morning of release as Amazon are supposed to 'guarantee'.
Same with me m8. I got an email telling me it had been dispatched on Mon and would be delivered on Tues. Yeah right
The copy I got for my daughter was shipped Monday and arrived Tuesday (super saver!) but that was the hardened edition so came by courier and avoided our hapless and hopeless posty. Anything small enough to come royal mail can take 1 week +. Even the 1st class stuff takes 3-4 days with the posty now.
Yeah both my nephews received their hardened edition copies on Tues morning from Amazon.
Also on the comment about Amazons bad reviews hurting the game, it wont. Activision dont need help in doing that
Bit of a let down, like every other Cod. But it's a wee bit better than the last Treyarch game, i have to admit.
Hope you get your copy today. That's unreal that you're still waiting. :eek:
They are the customer of whichever delivery company that they used to send it to you. Amazon is responsible for ensuring that your order arrives, not you or the delivery company.
Amazon's policy just makes no sense.
If you try and place an order with First Class Delivery, they'll tell you that it takes between one and two days. If you place a pre-order, they suddenly change that to one day.
i have two copies so me and my son can play together online
stacks of copies in tesco
