Never Again Pre Order C.O.D From Amazon

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
You are now connected to Regent from Amazon.com.

Me:Hello, i pre ordered black ops 2 last week with a promise of a release date delivery, i have a few problems. i check my stats earlier today to realize that the delivery date has change from 11/13 to 11/15 ok no problem. i decided that ill up the shipping and pay the difference even thought amazon say release date delivery. im not gonna complain about 2 dollars just to overnight it but my problem is delivery date say 11/14 and not 11/13. i feel cheated because could of pre ordered from some where else when they had it in stock, i feel like amazon lied to me just to keep my pre order and i want to know why

Regent:Hello there Nicole, my name is Regent. I'll be happy to assist you today.
I am sorry Nicole if the estimated delivery date of your order does not match on the website.
May I know if its for order# **********************

Me:its my only order

Regent:Oh thanks for confirming Nicole.
This doesn't usually happen. I checked your order and it looks like the delivery date is on Nov 14, 2012 through One-Day Shipping.
Normally if you place a pre-order, we'll ship the item to you once it's been released and we've received inventory using our Release-Date Delivery option.
We only offer the Release-Date Delivery option Nicole when we know we can get the item from our suppliers in time to meet our delivery promise to you.
In this case, since you chose One-Day Shipping as the shipping option, your order will arrive on the following day after the Release-Date Delivery.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding about our Release-Date Delivery option Nicole.

Me:so this item WILL 100 percent not get delivered to me by release?
date*

Regent:The estimated delivery date of your order Nicole is Nov 14, 2012 and we can assure you of that.
.
Me:im sorry but i was just looking online when i read this
Want to receive this the day it comes out?
Order it in the next 67 hours and 44 minutes, and choose One-Day Shipping at checkout.
i dont understand
http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Amazon-Instant-Xbox-360/dp/B007XVTR3K
Regent:I understand where you're coming from Nicole.
I checked the link you gave me Nicole and it says that Release-day delivery option may be available at checkout for most continental U.S. addresses. It doesn't say anything about One-Day Shipping option.

Me:Order it in the next 67 hours and 40 minutes, and choose One-Day Shipping at checkout.
so now i know im not bugging out when i pre ordered it did say choose two day shipping and get it on release date but now im forced to upgrade shipping
im sorry but this is to funny
and im not blaming you in any shape way or form

Regent:Oh I see Nicole. Please disregard that Nicole. You have already ordered the item using One-Day shipping.

Me:ok so why when i pre ordered it said choose two days shipping and get it on release date and now i have to upgrade my shipping to one day in order to get it on release date
sound like a bait and switch to me

Regent:You don't need to do that anymore because the shipping method of your order now is One-Day Shipping. Please be advised that if your shipping address is eligible for Release-Date Delivery, we'll automatically upgrade your order to this shipping option.
You can view the full terms and conditions along with additional information about this shipping option on our Help pages:
http://www.amazon.com/help/releasedatedelivery

Me: automatically upgrade? so what amazon is so nice that they are going to upgrade my shipping for free? im sorry but your company is such bull****. i love it how you keep changing your story

It's a letdown but frankly you shouldn't expect online retailers to always make it work in situations like these. They could get reprimanded by the publisher if it got to you too early most likely.

but they shouldnt promise delivery dates if they cant keep it!!! in my book that false advertisement. then they do the bait and switch 5 days before its released, in my state you can get big fine/sued for not selling a product at the advertise price even if its a typo

last year black friday bestbuy had a typo the new 360 for $99 bucks w/ 3 free games and they had to honor. well lets just say they sold out in less than 5 mins lol

no tax, amazon often has it cheaper or you get amazon gift cards for preordering games, amazon prime movie credit...release date shipping... i could go on and on about why amazon dominates for video game purchases

They don't have to honor pricing errors. There are plenty of examples where current orders are simply cancelled. Here is a link to Gears of War: Judgement, can you show me where it says they promise you will get it on that date? http://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-Judgment-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0H2AG

I do not see any indicator that they guarantee you will receive it on the release date.
