Stardock/Boxed Order Question

March 1, 2006 6:16:06 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I ordered a combined download and boxed copy of GalCiv2 on Friday. I've been enjoying the game from the digital download, but I'm wondering how the box is shipped, and when it usually goes out. I haven't gotten an email or anything saying it was shipped, or how it was shipped, or anything.

Can anyone from Stardock shed some light on this?

Doh, never mind. It just arrived today via Priority Mail.

Heh. I always believed that Priority Mail is like Jumbo Shrimp. A total oxymoron.

Nah, the mail system is actually pretty reliable, and "fast enough" in most cases. My box was mailed on the 27th, and it got here today. If it's anything of value, though, it's worth spending the dollar or two for insurance, and possibly tracking as well.

I ordered mine the day it came out, and it arrived yesterday. It came through the United States Post Office, and I believe it was priority mail. It got here pretty fast the way I looked at it, about 1 week's time.

I know I don't work for Stardock, just a regular player, but that was my experience.

I pre-ordered a week or two before release, and it isn't here yet. I'm in Canada though, so I don't know. Shipping isn't usually much longer than intra-US though.

Probably stopped at the border. Those mounties are pretty strict about Drengin imports.

Hell, the USPS is faster than UPS in my experience... and they have lost a heck of a lot fewer things for me. And they are cheaper. And they deliver on Saturdays. So yeah, I would rather it come by USPS than most any other form.

You don't know how close to the truth you are.

Yes I do. Half of my family lives in Canada, and I come from the UK, where "the Revenooo" and "Customs" are also a part of local lore and legend.
