Preorder time

Blue Lord · #1 October 16th, 2000, 07:01 PM

I'm going to be away in Florida from the 25 october to the 6 November. Se4 is released 1 november. Now, if I buy it when I get home, I'll have to wait, so I'd probbly pre-order.
In the meantime, I don't like the fact of having the game lying at the mail office. Here comes the question:

If you live in northern europe (sweden), on what date would you recieve the game if you pre-order?

Hey Blue lord I live just south of you in the UK and I can understand your concern I'll be in Denmark visiting some Viking friends after they threw out the Euro (HOORAY!!)

So even though I trust Royal Mail....I don't want a package sat in an office especially with underpaid, underapreciated and overworked people looking at it!
:\

I belive its 7 days for here, depends wether its AIR-Freight or Shipping....Ick...Shipping could mean up to 3 weeks waiting time as the Ship MAY leave on time or may be a day or so late, due to loading or weather

Pray its Air

But I would say 10 days at the most accurate count I can do.

BlueLord: If you're going to be in Florida until 6 Nov, why don't you simply have it sent to where you're staying in Florida? According to the complaints I'm reading, shipping to Europe is almost as much as the game. In fact, order several, then resell them to other [Swedish] gamers. It'll pay for your copy, dude! Remember free enterprise? It'll be a better investment than the stock market nowadays. Also, for all of you non-NorthAmerican gamers, couldn't you get together and order 10 copies at once and get a shipping discount? (Because usually shipping charges are by weight but with a minimum charge per package.)

..this really depends ALOT on who, where, how much etc.

Being in Denmark, I just bought mind rover (shameless plug: www.cognitoy.com) and the shipping came to a whopping $6... now THAT is cheap for transatlantic air mail..

so I'd check around for it. oftentimes Online stores have horrendous shipping rates.

Ya, Somebody from Denmark!
And, no, it's not good that we kicked the euro, cause I would have voted for it- if I were old enough.
NetSapiens, you wouldn't be as friendly as to tell how much you had to give for it (in KR please

)
My budget is a bit tighter than most-, I hope to make room for SE4 in it though.
