Coligeon Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Hey all ^_^, just had a quick question about pre-ordering. I pre-ordered from Lucasarts.com and was curious to know if I will receive it on the day of release or will it be shipped on the day of release? Thank you.

Kurgan Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I've never pre-ordered (or ordered for that matter) from them, might want to check their site or ask one of their reps... I don't think any pre-order site really guarentees you'll get the game the same day it is released though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipe Smoke Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I would be 99% sure that means they will SHIP it the day of release in your country. That is why I don't buy games online usually, if I want them the day they come out... and why I reserved JK2 at my local software etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I remember reading somewhere on the LucasArts page that you WILL get the game the same week it's released. I think I read it while I was preordering it. Like I've said, I got Starfighter for PC before it was released in stores because I preordered it from LA.

TRA_KiE Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 As far as i know... i preordered from a site, and they ship out the day of the release, and they guarantee NEXT DAY DELIVERY... which is pretty good... yea it'd be great to get it same day... but this way i'm definitely gonna get a copy even if stores run out And i'm lazy anyways hehe KiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coligeon Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 Yeah, I also heard someone say that. I hope it is true, because, i mean, then what good does pre-ordering do for you then heh? Insure you get the game I guess. Anyway, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Shipping on the actual release date doesn't make much sense, especially if the game is released on a Thursday or Friday, because the DO guarantee that you'll get the game the same week as the release date. The game is shipping standard, for free, which means several days. It's still guaranteed to get here the same week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I've pre-ordered a few games from LucasArts before, Force Commander and Rebellion both came to my doorstep the same day my local Babbages got their copies, the case with Rebellion though I had the game before Babbages put the game on the shelves.

MustangMatt302 Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I pre-ordered my copy of the Collector's Edition one week ago today. The next day monday (03-04-02), I received an email saying, that my product would be shipped in TWO WEEKS (shipped on 03-18-02). I am currently trying to wedge emails into LEC's store. Hopefully I'll get my questions answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syko Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 My thought would be that they'd ship the game to preorderers the same day they shipped the game out to stores...which would mean you'd get it the same day the stores got it (or before, cuz i don't think stores don't put it on the shelves if it shows up at 2pm that day). I preordered from LEC myself, so I'm hoping this is how it works out It did with the original JK...I preordered that and it showed up at like 6pm the night it was supposed to be in stores. -Syko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasuki Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I think you get it the next day since they don need to get the order processed and it can be sent right away. That is if you got the 2 day delivery like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMatt302 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Did the free shipping deal from LEC include the free of charge 2 day shipping? I didn't know, so I choose the standard. I am sure I still can tamper with my order status through LEC store reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coligeon Posted March 11, 2002 Author Share Posted March 11, 2002 Just the normal 4-5 day shipping I believe was the only one that was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasuki Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I think 2 day shipping was free I forgot. I'm gonna go check. I got mine at eb though instead of lec and I don rember what I actually got anymore. no it was 2 day air. free at elec boutique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaledDur Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I also have never preordered. I usually show up at wal-mart at midnight, and after some coaxing, they'll bring out the game/dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangMatt302 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hello Matthew, Thank you for your email. Please disregard your order confirmation email. This is a standard letter sent to all customer's upon ordering and it states all orders are shipped within two weeks; however, this does not take into account orders that are out of stock and preorders. Please be assured that Jedi Outcast will NOT be released until April or May (we currently do not have an official release date). Your order total is $59.99 which includes free USPS Priority Mail shipping (delivery is usually 3-5 business days). If you would like UPS Next shipping, that will be an additional $21.95. We hope this answer your questions and please contact us if we can further assist you. Thank you, LucasArts Company Store http://www.lucasarts.com/companystore 1-888-532-4263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseDaAgression Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 21.95?!?!? Ha, i got mine from EB and got next day shipping for 3 dallors. You can get two day free. It prolly cost Lucas 12.50 to do over night they just feel like makin the extra Bux. But like i said i got mine from eb, and when gamecube came out they shipped the day before it came out so recipitants would get it on realease. IMO- Get it from EB, now u get Free 2 day shipping and a T-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altecs457 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Please be assured that Jedi Outcast will NOT be released until April or May (we currently do not have an official release date). That would be a bummer if it was released in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 welcome Altecs457 I wonder if the store people is in regular contact with the rest of the staff there. I mean, do they know about the actual progress or that info about Apil-May was given to them last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabowan Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hmm...usually, LEC is pretty good about filling pre-orders. When Rogue Leader was released for the Gamecube, people who ordered directly from Lucasarts got the game before stores did...about two weeks before the Gamecube was even released!
