Canadian Gaming "Deals" and Discussion Thread 6: Sorry, We Can't Afford a New Thread

Not open for further replies.
I'm posting a shipping question here since it's also a defacto shipping thread.

Anyone shop with Amazon.ca recently and get their package delivered by Fed Ex? I'm in the GTA and as long as I've shopped with Amazon.ca they've used Purolator/Canada Post. I got a door tag on New Years Eve from Fed Ex and the package has to have someone receive it. Problem is that I'm at work during delivery hours. I requested a pick up and they said the package is waiting for me at Passmore Ave in Scarborough which is very far from home. I don't drive so bussing it is going to be a hassle. I might have to change my shopping habits away from Amazon.ca if they're going to use Fed Ex in 2016.

You can call them for a second delivery attempt, or ask them to move it closer to you
 
Ugh. Amazon using FedEx is a pain. There are barely any pick up points for FedEx in Toronto. I prefer them using UPS when they need to use a courier.
 
The deals weren't too bad around BF. Bought my GF an XB1 with Gears of War and AC Unity for $350+tax and I also got another $60 credit I can spend at the MS store. Cheaper than what I would have spent in the states.
 
So I've decided that I'm going to wait on SF5, I'm a bigger KI fan anyways.

So I have the TE2 stick on Amazon on PO for 204 CAD thanks to the pricing error. You think I should get it anyways and resell it? Don't know how sought after the TE sticks are now.

How/where would one sell it though? I have both sticks ordered as well but I'm in the same boat and going to pass on them for now. Kijjij? GAF? There's eBay but shipping something is such a pain.

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.
 
So... anyone get their Trails today?

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"
 
ffffffff
Digimon Cyber Sleuth is getting a physical Vita release in Japan, witth subtitles...I freaking want, but afraid what DLC would come out for the game that I wouldn't be able to get

also, has anyone seen any deals for PS Vita Memory cards?

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.

Apparently after drones, they're planning delivery by time machine (and they'll still be late!)

They're always nonsense.

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

From where? My copy arrived in the mail launch day.
Best Buy.

Best Buy.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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...
 
I got my replacement copy of Cold steel just fine. No bad considering I just ordered it yesterday.

Now if only the refunds to my card weren't taking forever so I can straighten that out.
 
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.

Wonder what Best Buy is going to do about those of us who requested refunds and/or replacement copies of Trails? Assuming it doesn't take another two weeks for the shipping to progress lol.

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.
