Gamesplanet.co.uk SUCKS!

I pre-ordered CM4 on 3/11/03 and it still hasn't shipped. SI says all companies who ordered have had their games in stock for a few days now. People who ordered from GamePlay actually got theirs a day early (in England, of course).

Gamesplanet states on their site that anyone who didn't get their order in by 3/21 won't receive theirs right away...yet I ordered on 3/11 and mine isn't even shipped (the site even says they're 'awaiting stock'.)

UGH.

Err, just to cheer you up some more. I ordered on the 22nd, and mine shipped Wednesday.

Vince · 03-28-2003, 04:34 PM

I ordered on the 22nd, but mine hasn't shipped yet. Bastard.

Calis, you order from Gamesplanet as well?

This'll be my first CM experience...Hattrick got me into the soccer scene, now I'm expecting CM to ruin my life...in a good way, of course

Calis · 03-28-2003, 04:36 PM

Sheesh, disregard my ramblings, I should read what is posted more carefully before replying. I ordered from GamePLAY.

Sorry about that. I was too eager to jump on the make someone feel even worse than they already do boat.

I know. The last time I ever bring up where I order something. I've ordered from them before without a problem.

Not your fault...you found the great price...which is the only reason sticking it out with them is worthwhile.

It'sa bout $12 less than gameplay...

I'm with you, rexallsc. I saw the same thread here and also ordered that day (March 11). I didn't find the March 21 thing, but I didn't do as much research into it as you did.

As you said, they seem to be awaiting stock. Ugh.

Glad I'm getting into OOTP5, so I can maybe try not thinking about waiting for this.

Yeh, in the end, I'm sure I'll only get it a few days after I would've rec'd it through GamePlay, and the $ difference is nice...I just hate to be hte guy who is waiting while everyone else is playing!

One good thing: there will probably be patches for all major bugs by the time we get it

Blackadar · 03-28-2003, 07:41 PM

I ordered it on the 17th and it hasn't shipped either.

Oh well, I have Divine Divinity and Galactic Civ is out.

rexalllsc · 03-28-2003, 08:06 PM

I forgot to mention that I emailed them 2 days ago w/o a response.

Nothing I hate more than being ignored by the company I'm ordering from :/

Here is a email sent to some:

Dear Customer,
We are writing concerning orders for Championship Manager 4.

This email is just to confirm that GamesPlanet are currently fulfilling all pre-orders for this game and these will be shipped today.

If you have ordered off us before you will know that we fulfill all of our pre-orders before the release date. Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand for this game up and down the country we have experienced a delay in our first shipment. This is totally out of our control and we apologise for the delay.

Please note that no monies will be debited to your card right up until the time of despatch.

Royal Mail suggest a delivery time of between 1 to 3 working days on First Class Recorded Delivery items.

Again, please accept our apologies for this delay and please rest assured that this is an isolated incident and we are working to fulfill all orders as quickly as possible.

Kind Regards
The GamesPlanet Team

Dola: Some have started getting confirmation. Hopefully we will get ours soon.
