Poll of the Day > Ordered a game online from EB, only shipping offered was 'Express'

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thursday morning - Ordered
Friday - Picked up from store
Saturday / Sunday - Weekend, they aren't doing shipping
Monday - No update, no package
Tuesday - As of 12:28pm (normal out for shipping updates are by 9am), no update so most likely no package today either
Wednesday - Apparently the earliest I can expect my package at this point

Why make me pay for 'express' when regular mail takes a week anyway.

I guess they are using COVID as an excuse to be lazy

I'm in NZ, we can go months without outbreaks outside of quarantine. We found one yesterday, first since November.

They have a smaller, more isolated population with far less international travel. It'd be weird if they were getting hit as hard as us.

I know dem feels. Also when you have a choice of standard and express but the difference is instead of a timeframe of coming on the 14th to the 21st, it's 14th to the 16th all for an extra $50 on a $10 item.

We also do lot more to limit spread than the US did. That person found yesterday is quarantined, people who got phone alerts for being in the same area are getting tested, etc. Any international travellers are quarantined immediately. Fishing industry brought in a bunch of people they could underpay from Russia late last year, there were obviously a load of infected people in the bunch. Everyone quarantined.

IMO, the biggest difference is that we had less people who were 'let others die for our freedom'.

Late evening delivery! I just got an email alert for it. At least I have all tomorrow to deal with a return if needed. Guess they noticed the package was already late.
---

Two more packages coming in 'tomorrow', anyone want to bet what day they arrive?

All shipping services are busier than ever.

Definitely complain and have them refund at least the difference between express and standard delivery. You didn't get what they made you pay for.

I agree with this.

Funny enough, EB doesn't seem to have that as a complaint option. -_-

Anyway, the packages that were meant to be today are going to be two more evening deliveries. I've never had that with more than a couple of deliveries that were probably missed previously, but all three of these are night ones. Well, hopefully these two arrive before 7pm.

Packages arrived just now, yay
