Pre-ordering question


Coligeon

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 :p

 

hehe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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!
