Ebgames hasn't shipped yetFollow

Just so you know, if your order status (as seen in the 'My Order' section) is set to Open then that means that your order has most likely been shipped to you and is on it's way.

If you read more into the site, you'll find out that they don't alwys update there site as quickly as the products arrive, mainly because sometimes they will find better ways to route a product to a customer without it even being handled by them personally, thus they can't really say they shipped it to you. This is just a way for them to get you what you order faster.

I e-mailed them about the same concern and got the following e-mail:

Thank you for ordering from EBgames.com. Your order has been shipped
completely. The status and/or ship date for each item on your order is detailed
below.

Here is the status of the item(s) you have ordered:
World of Warcraft Collector's Edition Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 PROMO WORLD OF WARCRAFT PC Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1

Please note that a signature may be required for the delivery of any package
where the value of the contents is greater than $400. If no one will be
available to sign for this package, you may wish to make alternate delivery
arrangements with the carrier. Also note that EBgames.com does not ship nor do
we schedule deliveries for weekends or holidays. If your order shipped on a
Thursday or Friday, delivery may not occur until Tuesday of the following week.
Orders shipping to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses ship via USPS and may take
additional time for delivery.

Hope this helps. :)

Just notified, it's shipped... UPS typically gets to home by 11 in the morning. I'll in game by noon, easy :) Sure, a few hours after the camp out at EB people, but my mug won't be on the local news Geekwatch segment either. Though I do want to see who can con thier hottie GF or Mrs to dres up as a NE to includ the skin color :)

FYI, they don't let you pick up the games earlier because of pre-release issues. IE Blizzards publisher doesn't want the game on before the 23, so it stays that way. You don't have to listen but then you will below priority next time a game comes out.

*sigh* I wish either fedex or ebgames would recognize that 2-day shipping to hawaii means 3-days. So irritating have an item arrive late when it could have been on time.

Yes, but you live in Hawaii so that's already a bonus right there. Think of the extra day as payment for the warm weather :p

i also pre-ordered from ebgames. order status says open, but at the bottom of the page , there is a fex ex tracking number. when i click the number i get taken to the fedex tracking status screen which says there is no info yet. but if i copy the number and manually go to fedex site and put the number in , i get info stating that its almost here and will be delivered on the 23rd by 4:30.

"EBgames will not ship until tomorrow, meaning you'll get it Wednsday."

If you look a bit up in the posting chain you'll note my e-mail from EBgames themself, stating it's been shipped it'll be here soon.

I also called, delivery is 9:30 AM tommorow. For me that is.

When I called my walmart and asked if they had any CE hitting the shelves today they said 'No all CE have been preordered. we dont have extra's" Otherwords... dont hold your breath but I am crossing my fingers for you.

Stickbow, where did you see the 4:30 delivery time on your tracking page? Mine just left Louisville as well but it dosn't have a delivery time. Probably because mines "3 day select" and it's too early for them to give an estimate. They'll throw it on four more trucks and take the scenic route :(
#42 Nov 22 2004 at 9:32 PM Rating: Decent
That 4:30 delivery time means no later than 4:30. So all of us that are having it shipped fed ex might get early in the day. At least I sure hope so, this wait is killin me!
#43 Nov 22 2004 at 9:47 PM Rating: Decent
Well mine shipped. It also gave me the "Open" status but with the tracking # on the bottom. I've been watching it all day like the over-eager freak that I am. Mine departed Louisville at 15:41 eastern and arrived in San Jose at 17:17 eastern. With luck it doesn't sit there all night and they get it out and on a truck and in my hands by tomorrow afternoon.

Ever since my last scare with EB I don't pre-order with them. I swore I had ordered something for my PC, but they sent me the PS2 copy instead. Well I took it up to the mall since that was the nearest one and exchanged it.

The thing that scared me was the guy had to double check my info, and when I asked him if everything was ok he said "ya, everything's fine. It's just that by our computer's you pre-ordered this in 1936".


I felt woozy for a moment, but when he exchanged them for me everything was fine.

Mine is still sitting on open with no tracking number or nothing...i feel helpless:(

I gambled on 2-day shipping...hope it arrives tomorrow. :(

Argh, I hope Louisville, KY burns down! :P My package left there at 5:21 PM on the 22nd, then on 3:38 AM of the 23rd it says it was just leaving Memphis, TN, which is even further away from me(NJ)! Oi, woe is me, I think I need a hug, or some eggnog.
#50 Nov 23 2004 at 9:03 AM Rating: Decent
Don't feel bad my arrival time just updated, i won't get mine till the 29th! :( I could kick myself for not thinking and sending it 3 day mail. Oh well it's my own damn fault. So my plan is to go out on my lunch break and scour the area for collectors editions. If i can find one i'll send the one i ordered back to EB when it gets here, or maybe sell it on ebay for 200...j/k :)

Not holding out much hope for finding that CE though. So in all likelihood i'll be WoWless all holiday weekend /cry

Well, after seeing EBGames didn't drop their shipment until early morning to FedEx (as of 11/23 @ 12:10am it was not in FedEx posession, per FedEx rep, they had only received the billing information, not the package)

Finally, 11/23 @ 4:54am it appears in FedEx system in Memphis, with estimated delivery time of 11/23 @ 3:00pm (which is basically the latest they can deliver next day in my area)

And I was pissed, normally I get FedEx delivery early-mornings...

Well, somehow as of 11/23 @ 7:54am it is on the FedEx vehicle for delivery! (Wisconsin)

Apparently FedEx skipped a few steps, their tracking doesn't show it going thru any sorting process, just magically from Memphis to the local truck.

So don't lose hope.
