shipping is ridicules

from GalCiv2 Forums
This is insane. i ordered galciv2 2 @%^@%&@ WEEKS AGO----------------

2 WEEKS
2 full, 14 days, or 2 buissness weeks. this is friggin ridicules. i am posting this on a thursday, 4-6-06.
i ordered it on i think the 3-23-06. this is nuts. IT DOES NOT TAKE 2 WEEKS TO SHIP A PACKAGE.
yeah, if you friggin walk it here, but no idoit is gonna do that. i have the game, but i did NOT pay like 10$ more for shipping & handaling for nothing.
Honestly, i DEMAND that i get ANY PRACTICAL information, like the NORMAL shipping times, so i KNOW how much this sucks.
Or when i COULD get it.
my point is that is does NOT take 2 full weeks to ship a game. it, by car, can go like from washington to oragen in like a half a day. so tell me if its coming, if you have it, and WHEN THE GODDAMN PACKAGE is gonna get here!
jeesus christ!
i like NEVER get this angry. i ordered something from friggin AFRICA and it got here in like 6 days. (ups ground)
i mean, really. I can do better than that. all you have to do is look at my order, copy and paste it to a shipping copany, get a galciv2 game, pack it, get a damn box, and say "bye bye" as it is shipped away.
takes like a day man.

Your profanity is unnecessary to get your point across. Especially taking some folks God's name in vain. That is uncalled for.

Have you tried contacting the outlet you bought it from and geting a shipping tracking number? Sometimes people do make mistakes you know.

Really? My delivery in England took two days. Some people just make mistakes. If you were so annoyed, then a) complain to the delivery service (not stardock) and b)Just download it.

And seriously, echoing statesman , well done for possibly offending the Christian demographic.

Well Ifflesnifflesniffs, I received mine in around 5 days direct from SD.
But if you have the game already there's not much need for the retail Box/CD is there?
So just go and take your anger out on some Yor Bot Butts or something.
I doubt getting angry in the forums will make it magically arrive faster especially if it's "In Transit"

Wow... I suggest Prozac.

Outside of the military yelling rarely makes anybody do anything faster, usually quite the opposite.

To adress your concerns, this game has been selling much more than what anyone expected. Chances are nobody is sitting there looking at your game and giggling because they havent shipped it yet. Its taking time to get copies out into consumers hands. Please be patient they want to make you happy just as much as you want to be happy.

Apparently he grew up (I use that term loosely) in a time when everything is instant satisfaction. Have some patience man. If you want the game *now*, go make some phone calls and find out what game store near you has it, ask them to hold it, and go pick it up. Or put in a special order at the store. You know that they have better contacts to get the game in a hurry -- directly from a warehouse.

In this day of broadband, you can download it online when you order it. There are many options.

I heard about the game from a friend -- he raved about it. I looked at 5 stores who were all sold out, and decided that if I really wanted it, I could just buy it online. (Well, first I downloaded a torrent, with the full intention of buying it once I tried it out -- three days later I realized I was addicted and I could either delete it or buy it. So I bought it.)

It's easy to get "instant satisfaction" without blowing your gasket.
