If you pre-order from GAME... (UK)

[Feraligator]

If you pre-order from GAME, then will it come to my house on the release day?
There is only 1 option which is the UK free delivery for Animal Crossing and it takes 2-5 working days.
But I heard people saying that they get the game on the day, or even a day early!

Is this true? And if not, how long will it take to deliver? I want to pre-order to my address, but I don't want the delivery to be late.

They will almost likely ship it the day it releases so you'll have to wait a few days after release.

I ordered from GAME and it was the same, I think they may post a few days before so I gets there on time thats what most companies do, If they don't I will be mad

Game is dead in France... R.I.P.

It's in their terms and conditions that they send out pre-orders at least a day before, not on the day. So you will most likely get it a day early, on the day or the day after. I've only ever received pre-orders on the day or early.

I'm still confused, it says it will take 2-5 business days, yet on the terms and conditions they say it will come on the day... I'm confused and a bit worried.

From their T&C page.

Pre-released orders

These are orders for items that have not yet become available. You may be able to make a pre-released order using the Site, and where possible (and subject to availability) such orders will be shipped to you on the day prior to release, in order that you may receive it on the release date. Release dates are set by the manufacturers and are subject to change. As a result We are not liable for any changes to a pre-release date advertised by Us.

There is nothing to be worried about.

This is the only option... Along with Overseas delivery.
What does it mean by 2 business days..?

They also have this on their delivery page.

Preorder - We will ship your preordered item to you prior to release (subject to availability) via your chosen method of shipping. The vast majority of preorders arrive for the day of release. However we cannot guarantee delivery by release date for standard Royal Mail deliveries, because Royal Mail cannot make this guarantee. Choose Special Delivery to ensure it is delivered for the release date. Please note that International orders will take longer to be delivered. Please note that release dates are subject to change.

I would guess that the 2 business days is just a precaution incase it doesn't arrive on time. All I can say is through my experiences I have not had a problem.

Okay, thanks much (and I mean a lot, I've stopped worrying) for the help!

They will send it out early in order to try their best to get it to you for release day. If Royal Mail have difficulties, that's beyond Game's control.

 

[Bubble Pop]

Yes! One more thing that I'm sure you will be pleased to know, I pre-orderd Pok?mon Mystery Dungeon from them too and got an email this morning saying they had sent it out, and the release isn't till Friday.

 

[Feraligator]

Okay, thanks.
