I thought Fedex was supposed to leave packages at Home Hardware now or something.
Wait. Amazon is now using FedEx? I thought it was just UPS and Canada Post?
Keep an eye on http://yvrdeals.com or the Facebook group (or the equivalent for your city) for cheap tickets.

If either of you plan to ever own those sticks, I'd keep them. There's no way they're ever going to be priced at that again.
According to Canada post they never even got the game in the first place. It was supposed to be part of the manifest they picked up from Best buy but wasn't in their for some reason.
So now I'm suck waiting for my refund for the orginal shipment to be implmented while Best buy sends out a second copy. The annoying part is they made me place the order again at the higher price and then are going to refund my credit card the difference.
Now hopefully this copy actually shows up and we can chalk the other one going missing to "chrismast chaos"
From where? My copy arrived in the mail launch day.
Sure

I wonder if Bestbuy's going to ask around their warehouse to see who screwed up....
Anyway how did you find that out from Canada Post? (I mean, I thought as much, the delay was unnaturally long and Bestbuy's distribution center is like at Mississauga... )

It was originally released Physically in Japan last march, Asia is now getting the NA/EU subbed version as physical in feb.
They're always nonsense.

They've been using FedEx pretty frequently for about two months now, from my experience.
Sorry gone already, forgot to update my post!
Yes, every day they email me about Star Fox Zero.

I looked on Kijiji for Simpsons Hit and Run, and also decided I'd check for another game I've been wanting. Anyways, I found it for $5, along with some other games, but the guy's pictures were awful.
Although he claims that they're 10/10 and in perfect condition, his pictures show all of the game discs lined up on a carpeted floor, on their edges and resting against a wood dresser. That, and the discs laying on top of each other with the bottom layer on the carpet.
I don't get how people can take such shitty care of things, or consider that to be 10/10 condition.

I found out by calling Canada post customer service to try and find out what the heck was taking so long.

But are the discs themselves scratched?

This is ultimately what I did. It feels like an entire shipment of Trails never got shipped. lol
Best Buy.

Any good XBL deals? My 14 day trial just expired and I don't know if I can afford 12 months at $60 right now.

Maybe that explains why that game is "In Stock" from Bestbuy still... they forgot to send them. Anyway my second copy shipped just last night and I'm gonna be making a call to make sure they remember to give me back the credit difference....
I remember when they had this huge delay with the Yoshi orders and they gave the people who suffered from it $5 dollar credit.... I guess the number people who lost from the Trails of Cold Steel thing isn't big enough to warrant that.

I'm getting an e-mail for Star Fox and an e-mail for FF15 pretty much every day or two now as well. It is pretty ridiculous.

They say that Costco has it for the same price.

You guys probably already knew about this, but this just kinda amazed me. I made two different Amazon orders from two different sellers separated days apart. They both arrived in the same shipping box.

I guess if they are still housed and shipped by Amazon that could work out but on separate days seems strange.

It's possible that the holidays caused the first to be held over to time with the second.

Yup and if you have an executive Costco membership you get another % back (2% I think?), so that's maybe another $1?

Well. Im dumb
Missed the rainbow six deal for $50 on amazon by a day. Any chance customer support will let me slide if I ask?

I tried to call Best Buy last night about ToCS but after being on hold for 5 minutes I just said fuck it and emailed them
they just replied they were going to put a trace on the order with Canada Post and see what happens. meh.
it's a good thing I wasn't planning on playing this game right away, what a hassle

My copy was from Best Buy :O
It was a regular copy though, I'm not sure if all you guys running into trouble ordered the LE or not. Also, it's the Vita version.

Lol I literally warned you of that exact thing happening
Man. I was going to walk to best buy yesterday but it was too cold lol. Today was much nicer and for dumb reason, I thought the sale was until the 7th. Oh well, Im sure it won't stay $80 for too long

Not sure this is the venue but searching for an Episode Duscae 2.0 PS4 code from a fellow Canuck. Anyone able to provide any guidance.

Have you checked eBay?
I bought one for $22 USD when Type-0 first released with the demo. Probably even cheaper now I would guess.

Yeah I have checked out the usual e-tailers. I was just hoping for something local. Thanks for the help though.

$22 for the game or just the demo??

Hearing all of these shipping issues with ToCS makes me happy I made sure Amazon upgrade my order. I mean, I have yet to even open it, but its sitting with me ready to be played when I get the chance.

I got the regular copy too! Which, by the way, arrived today. I checked the shipping date and it's not a December 21 shipment (which was the previous one) but the more recent one...
I'm glad I still have to finish Trails 1 and 2 before I even get to this...

My Trails of Cold Steel shipment just got its first Canada Post update since the 21st.
:O
maybe there's hope? i really don't want to have to deal with the procedure for getting a replacement copy sent.
mine too! holy shit.

I guess that's still the case. They were the only retailer offering preorders.
Ah man of course the orginal shows up again after I got the replacement. Now I'm going to have to take one copy back to the freaking store which is literally on the other side of town *sigh*

On the plus side! If you go with the original order (if you had 30% off) you save a whole dollar since they only offered to give you back $15 if you ordered a new copy!
Wonder if they just walked around the warehouse and found the lost Bestbuy shipments in a corner then decided to process them finally....

With all the trouble you went through they should let you keep it or at the very least give you a free Return label.
