EPTUsually if you pre-order about a month or two in advance you can select release date shipping for only $1 (In the US anyway) and that's what I usually do for pre-orders. That actually works great, even though on release day Amazon usually says my item hasn't shipped yet. Always gets here on release date though.

I feel bad because I preordered due to their beta key give away, but it is going to take too long to arrive As of 30 minutes ago I was able to cancel my Amazon order and purchase digitally with Blizzard. It had its expected arrival at March 22-April 3rd. | ||

I don't understand how these companies can drop the ball like this on orders that were placed so far in advance... The only reason I didn't go virtual was because I wanted the CE. Well what can you do.... | ||

It's already shipped and is expected tomorrow. The Amazon delivery date is always weird when you preorder games. I have done it for every preorder and it always gives me a weird date, but shows up on the release date. I wouldn't worry about it folks. | ||

When I preordered halo 4 I got a message the night it was released saying my shipment would be delayed by a month, and I have never ever received game from them a day before release, best has always been on release day. Gamestop on the other hand had my hots shipped to me last friday and it was has already arrived. | ||

I do not have work tomorrow so no way I am missing out. Sucks not to have the box but I would rather play! This is the first time Amazon have ever let me down. I used to be like that, but they've been a day late on my last 2 orders in the last 2 weeks (including Sim City pre-order). I don't know what to think any more, I always trusted them to get me things on time. AND I'm Prime. though the client chat guy assures me HotS will be delivered by tomorrow, but it's not yet dispatched. | ||

However the status says it has not been shipped yet, and tracking information is not available. So unless they overnight it, I don't see how it will get to my house in time . I haven't received any emails about late delivery, though. Just received an email saying that HotS has shipped and is expected to be delivered tomorrow. My faith in Amazon has been restored. Have some patience guys. | ||

They were spot on with my WoL and SWTOR CE's but that was a while ago. Sadly I can't rely on GAME now either as they delivered my last three games four days late. So idk who to order with now if amazon mess up with HOTS CE (even paid the extra for "before 9am release date) Edit: Money has been taken for it, but no dispatch yet. | ||
