    So I preordered the GOW III  Ultimate Edition from Gamestop.com, (none where I live)  and I paid for release day delivery and what do I wake up to a "Your package has been rescheduled for delivery on 3/17/10" (tomorrow) why?  as they put it "adverse weather conditions" in this case fog that delayed it from moving out of Springfield MO for about 2 hours, so it finally gets to my nearest shipment receiving facility (about 14 miles from here) and it still can't be delivered today because "it got there too late" 12:30 PM to be exact they deliver until 7 PM, so that tells me they must only do one truck load a day or their too lazy to go get more stuff.  Add to that the fact that the fog in Springfield wasn't even bad enough for an advisory so I think someone was just too scared to drive in a bit of fog,  So thanks to UPS no GOW III for me until  tomorrow, it  wouldn't bother me as much if I hadn't paid for delivery on release day but it still pisses me off.
     
    UPDATE: I guess my angry phone call to UPS did some good, low and behold I have my game.

    It's okay; I signed up for Release Date Delivery, but they changed my order to standard delivery just prior to release (and with no warning). So now my copy is due to come in on the 20th.....

    Shipping never goes right for me either, its depressing waiting for a game to come in everyday and getting your hopes up everyday that today is the day the game will come in then they are crushed...

    I'd be calling customer service at GS to find out why the hell they did that.

    Oh don't worry I did; they gave me some BS about limited availability or something of the sort (not quite sure how that would effect shipping speed), but in the end I managed to coax out an apology coupled with free shipping....still doesn't really help, but oh well.

    Yeah same thing happened for my Bioshock 2 LE though it was more understandable as it was snow.
