I think the issue is UPS. I think they use UPS for the next day delivery. They would have to "ship" on Monday to get delivered on Tuesday because UPS really won't do the 2-day shipping on Sat. They usually won't ship a Tuesday release game on the previous Friday. A few years ago UPS was the primary delivery service for Amazon and thousands of people did not get their packages before Xmas when they were supposed to arrive well before. They worked out a contract with USPS and things got better. So, with this new-ish release-day delivery USPS cannot do it and they use UPS and UPS cannot handle the "next-day"delivery when they ship on Monday. They are terrible and Amazon is also to blame. Their customer service has gotten terrible with cut-and-paste responses and very little resolution. And based on the reps names I doubt they are even English speaking. That may contribute to the issue. Not being racist but just a realist.
@seauton: Who was the seller for the GTAV? I ordered one for Xbox One through a 3rd party for $20 on Oct 28 and never got it, Amazon finally refunded the money as the seller scammed about 30 people.
@nickseifert: Yeah, I thought that was strange. I used to get them on day of release but I had this same issue when I pre-ordered Battlefield One a couple of months ago. They said today they didn't have shippers nearby to allow for release-day delivery (BS)! And they said it's not eligible! That's BS too as the order said release-day when I ordered it. I am a bit annoyed. Continual issues with my orders lately.
I pre-ordered the game last week from Amazon Prime and was supposed to get release day delivery. Now they say it won't be delivered until Thursday 12/1 as it's not eligible for release day delivery. I have Prime and had received release-day games previously so anyone getting this from Amazon on release day? I live in St. Louis so it's not like it's a rural location.
