How long does it take for the game to reach me?

I live in South-West-Norway and ordered Dominions II on October 24th, Global Priority. "Delivery Time 3-7 days".

Well, now it's November the ninth -about 14 days after my order- and I still haven't received it. So here's a question to Scandinavians/Europeans: How long did it take for your copy to reach you?

And if my order might be missing, where should I inquire about it? I haven't paid for it yet as I'll pay using Money Order once I receive it, but hey, I'd like to play my game anytime soon!

Safe-Keeper, Norway.

Well, I'm not scandinavian/european, but didnt your order come with a tracking number? I thought that was common practice with most large shipping companies nowadays.

probably he just ordered it from shrapnel. SafeKeeper, you should probably contact shrapnel support.

It came with a tracking number, but the "tracking" page only shows what I ordered, when I ordered it, and where I live. It says nothing about where the game is right now.

Thanks, archaeolept.

It doesn't mention the date the game was shipped? It may not have been shipped yet then.

I know that when I ordered mine (in the USA) I was rather upset and unhappy, because it took over two weeks to arrive. I was on the verge of talking to Boy George and having the draft reinstated to include foreign citizens and having everyone with Shrapnel and Illwinter sent to Iraq.

Of course - post Nov 2, that isn't so funny an idea.

I live in northern parts of Sweden and for me it took about a week, six days i think to get the game. Im pretty sure that you can see if the game has been shipped or not at the "tracking page" so i suggest you go and have another look at it.

I ordered the game Last Tuesday from Shrapnel and it arrived Friday morning. I live in Finland, btw.

Yeah, I thought it would arrive sometime this week. "Luckily" a non-work meeting for Last Friday was rescheduled to yesterday (so I had reserved Friday as a day off from work) and my wife and kids weren't home until evening... You may guess what I did Last Friday all day long after the postman had woken me in the morning (and Saturday and Sunday too)

I asked them and they went "we haven't received payment yet"... HUH?! What kind of companty expect money orders BEFORE the customer gets what he ordered? Never happened to me before.
