First post on here:) I've just spoken to amazon customer service in the UK and they informed me that the expected postage date for the collectors edition is 22nd ( Monday ) 👍 fingers crossed should be here by Tuesday:scared:
 
Wow, normal first class delivery has always been great for me from ShopTo. Always get it a day (or two) early as well.

F1 2010 got 2 days early

got Black Ops 1 day early

Heres hoping for GT5 at least a day early too :)
The problem isn't Shop to but the shocking state of the postal service in my area. Recently a couple of DVDs from play.com took over a week to arrive. My first rental from Lovefilm last week failed to arrive. I have even missed important hospital appointments because of the crappy RM. I now have to get the hospital to ring me whenever an appointment is made.

I don't know what really happens to my post. However if my copy of GT5 is being sent recorded delivery it might be less likely to go missing or dare I say stolen.
 
First Class is Royal Mail, there are different tiers of first class mind such as first class recorded etc etc...

Good to know, I'm very pleased with Royal Mail so far. I'm from Belgium, and when I get an email from ShopTo that my item has been dispatched (sometimes one hour after placing my order, they are that fast!), I get it usually delivered 2 (working) days later. That's as fast or in many cases, even faster then when I order something from a shop in my own country or neighboring countries. Royal Mail is excellent. 👍
 
HMV always dispatch early. CDs that are meant to be released on Mondays normally arrive on the Friday or Saturday, so I'm pretty jealous! Had they sold the collectors edition I would have definitely ordered!

Hope mine from Amazon arrives asap.

Recorded is Way Better as you mentioned its less likley to go missing + I think if it did there's at least the Chance of Compensation for the Loss , the only thing with that is I think you have to wait up to 42 Days to get Compensation from Royal Fail :ill:

There again most of the www Companies that send stuff out have a waiting period before they'll accept it's lost and send a Replacement

One other thing is , if your not home and the Postie for some stupid reason leaves it with a Neighbour , that can be bad news aswell if your Neighbour doen't get on with you as theres nothing to stop them signing any name they feel like and Denying they recieved it :ill:

Im housebound so that won't be a problem. This is why I get so irritated with RM because I rely on online shopping.

Thanks everyone for answering my question.
 
Some blockbusters stores (IN the UK) have the bundle on the shelves now and are selling them. While others are reporting there local blockbuster has them instock but is not selling till wednesday.

my local Blockbuster has the 320GB PS3 GT5 bundle on the shelves (and selling them fast) NOW.

They also stick a card through your letterbox saying what house it was left at, so you could just bang on said neighbour's door and show them the card ;)

I got my ShopTo receipt this morning, so fingers crossed it arrives on Monday with my new TV :D
 
Shopto is now showing GT5 at the top of the charts and they just tweeted "In Stock NOW: Gran Turismo 5 for PS3".

Should arrive on monday for all you Shopto buyers :)

By "Bundle" do you mean GT5 + Mustard?

'Cos that would go great with my PS3+Steak&Chips bundle.
 
Well yesterday play.com sent my PS3+GT5 bundle, by Home Delivery Network, I suspect it will show up on tuesday or wednesday. Which is cool :)

For me not only am i joining the GT5 community i'm joining the PS3 community too. Being a Xbox / PC user it will be interesting the next couple of weeks.


Welcome to the party, have fun.
 
Amazon is Still Showing my 320 GB CE Bundle as NOT YET SHIPPED and Estimated Delivery for Weds :grumpy:

So after a Bit of Searching I found there Contact Number Tel: 0800 496 1081 :D

Rang them Up and The Customer Services said its in Stock and will be Dispatched on Monday....

I suppose I shouldn't be Worried but there again :nervous:
 
I've just been down to my local blockbuster in Coventry... They can't speak for other stores but they certainly aren't going to break the street date! :-(

Same experience in Edinburgh store. Now tried 5 shops, none will break the date, some flat out deny they even have it in stock. Will keep trying.

Massive parcels like that tend to be shipped much differently, wouldn't be surprised if it was sent as a special overnight delivery. I.e I think you should get it Tuesday if sent on monday.
 
Same at Blockbuster in Fallowfield, Manchester. They have it in stock but would not sell me a copy. The manager phoned a few other stores to check if they are but unfortunately not!

Thanks for posting!! I have the same bundle ordered with Amazon so fingers crossed it will ship at the same time and arrive Tuesday.
 
All you ShopTo people with receipts... if you don't have the dispatch email then it hasn't dispatched. They're processing orders early for the big mail-out on Monday. They do this with every major release.
 
MidianGTX - Shopto have just dispatched my order. I got an email yesterday saying they were processing it. And I've just checked the website today, and it looks as if my order has been dispatched :D

Looks like I'll be getting it on monday :D :D :D

My girlfriend works in an electrical retailer shop, and just called me to say that they had recieved their stock with GT5. She didn´t however want to take a version back for me early :(

I'd be made up if it gets here for Tuesday 👍

Gratefull if it gets here for Weds though 👍
 
Yeah I think if you have had the dispatch email you're almost certain for Monday since RM have today and tomorrow to get it to you.

I still haven't had my dispatch yet and my initial order charge was only today so that may stall the dispatch until tomorrow.

Still expect a Monday delivery though.


EDIt : Ahh cancel all that this was posted by a shopto moderator today

A few simple facts.

The stock only arrived at the warehouse at approx 9.30 this morning.

The processing and packing will be running ALL day til somewhere into the evening.

None of the stock will be/has been passed to RM today.

The release date is still Weds 24/11 so irrespective of a store in France selling it, Sony is only today shipping stock to many etailers, so the process of getting the stock in, processing preorders and packing them, means no stock can be passed to RM until Monday at the earliest.

By all means take a trip across the channel if you are that desperate to pick up a copy.
