    Doubt it. Don't think they'll post it until Monday. I asked when they're gonna start posting them but they wouldn't say, except ''Herp. Derp. That is all to say on that matter.'' :pac:

    I ordered it from amazon couple of weeks ago, got email last night to say it was dispatched and estimated to be with me on Tuesday.

    Did you go with super saver or standard or the expensive one?

    I preordered with gamestop as they usually have the game delivered the day before release, that doesn't seem to be happening with gta5 though.
    Checking my inbox all day for the dispatch email, nothing at all.

    I went with first class delivery to parcel motel. Had 1 free stay left.


  • Registered Users Posts: 222 ✭✭touchwood


    Parcel motel have taken money from my account so the game is with them now. Might have it tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 790 ✭✭✭DUBLINHITMAN


    I ordered saints row 3 from gamestop with express delivery expecting to get it on release day and hoping to get it before lunch
    but that didn't happen I got a call from the
    nightline driver to ask could I meet him
    that was at 8pm on release day
    wasn't impressed so I'd never buy from gamestop online again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Yeah it could be late on Tuesday before you get it from gamestop, was 5 in the evening before I got COD off them last year and it was a Tuesday release aswell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    feck - good thing i pre-ordered normal edition too?!

    Has anyone else pre-ordered two games?

    I ordered a game for launch day then I canceled it.It took me 3 weeks to get my money back off them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 947 ✭✭✭tipperaryboy


    Anyone get any word on dispatch yet? Awaiting email got the special edition XB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    My order still just says confirmed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 EKayI


    It still says confirmed on my order also, I've just sent support a mail asking what the story is.

    Do Gamestop use An Post or a courier for Express Delivery? I live out in the shticks and it's always a challenge directing deliveries to the house!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭shamelessidiot


    I ordered 2, one from Gamestop and one from Gamesnash, the Gamesnash one already gave me a NightLine tracking number, but nada with Gamestop it just says Order Status: Confirmed and Split Method: Split Shipment

    No e-mail about dispatch or anything.

    BTW if anyone has any knowledge of nightline tracking, it says "ship date 16/9/13" does that mean it should be here today?! Fingers crossed! ;)

    Still no update from gamestop, getting a bit anxious now.

    I think Gamestop use Nightline. I only ordered from Gamestop as I wanted the collectors edition but Nightline don't tend to deliver to me until the evening time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Nightline can be any time of the day! Pre-ordered in Smyths too, so going to take a drive by later and pick it up if they are open!

    Nah that means it will be dispatched today.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Don't worry you won't get a dispatch email for gamestop express delivery. Ordered games in the past and never got an email off them so they probably won't this time due to the volume of orders


  • Registered Users Posts: 372 ✭✭hawkeyethenoo


    i got an email off gamestop a few minutes ago telling me there is a problem with my bank autorizing funds and they asked me if i had money in my account! there is money in my account but i just told them to cancel it instead of going through hassle all day, this is the collectors edition i ordered months ago. just going to download it off the psn store instead.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭DesperateDan


    This is mad, I want to see if my copy got dispatched yet and the whole website seems to have slowed down, anyone experience this? (could be my dodgy connection but I don't think so)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭xerces


    Got a shipment confirmation email from GameStop.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 EKayI


    Just got my shipment confirmation and tracking number from Gamestop, order has changed to "Shipped" on the Gamestop site also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 77 ✭✭tampler


    Same here!

    EDIT: Using an Post for express instead of Nightline though. Don't think I've seen that happen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 eschaton


    just got my confirmation email too. it's shipping with nightline.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Yup. :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭DesperateDan


    Yeah me too good stuff, I wonder if the whole country was checking out the site and that's what slowed it down


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭shamelessidiot


    How early did you guys order? I only ordered on the 13th, was assured I would get it for release day but mine just still says confirmed when the website actually decides to load.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 EKayI

    They are using nightline although its giving a an post tracking number - read the mail
    Only orders shipped using Express Shipping will have a tracking number. If you selected Express shipping you can track your package here. Please note that the tracking number may not be active for up to 24 hours.

    Which is strange as they give the following as the tracking number: Tracking number: http://track.anpost.ie/TrackOne.aspx?trackNumber=xxxxxxxx

    Oh well. Will most likely have the Gamesnash one anyway, wouldn't rely on one single online site. Would've liked the special edition for the included goodies, but I guess that'll be going back now if not here tomorrow.

    BTW has the header just disappeared for anyone else on gamestop.ie?

    There's a picture.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭xerces


    So now that we know it's been shipped, what do you reckon the ETA is?

    So you all have confirmation emails now?

    Strange indeed found the email unclear so decided to call them they said that An post is being used for GTA as its more secure. Does not make sense to me I understood Nightline would be more secure? Maybe the person answeing got the info mixed up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭xerces

    I do anyway, I ordered on June 10th if that means anything.

    Yeah nightline is the same company as parcel motel!? :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭shamelessidiot


    Nightline tracking had "shipped" on it earlier now it's "pending" (gamesnash order), jaysus. Does anybody know what time Nightline stop delivering at? Just for future reference.

    I pre-ordered the regular version from GameStop on 18th August. Got the confirmation email from them today with an An Post tracking link.

    The link wasn't showing any info until a short time ago. Now its saying that the package is "ON ROUTE TO CUSTOMER". Hopefully means that I might get it this evening.

    Anyone know if An Post require a signature for their express post deliveries??

    Think you may have misread my previous post, Gamestop informed me that there using AnPost instead of Nightline for GTA shipping. Maybe someone else could call Gamestop to clarify again?

    Same as my own, I wonder would they get annoyed if I called into the depot on the way home from work. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Where is the tracking number in the email? Each thing I put in just returns me to track and trace page.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 EKayI


    Yeah the direct link in the mail doesn't work, the tracking code is the last set of characters in the link they provide, i.e: http://track.anpost.ie/TrackOne.aspx?trackNumber=AB123456789IE.

    Just copy and paste that from the mail you received into the tracking number field on the An Post site.

    Ordered on 28th June with Express shipping. Already paid in full and still yet to tell me it's been shipped... :/

    Don't think there's anything you can do really. Just wait and hope. There might've been a glitch leading to a lot of them going under the radar, their website was very dodgy early, wouldn't load half the time and the other times when I did load you try and go into your orders and you'd get some debug error.

    For big game releases, I always think it's better to order from two places (if you have the money of course) just to be sure, and then you can obviously just send the second one back when it does arrive.
