miffy495 Posted March 13, 2006 Ah, life is fun sometimes. After the problems I'd been having finally getting Phoenix Wright shipped to me, I though my shipping issues had been taken care of for a while. And hey, Amazon is usually pretty good about shipping the right item. Unfortunately, being in Canada and all, they stock french items where available. This means that when I ordered Trackmania Sunrise, I got the french version instead. Wheeeee! Luckily, I speak the language anyway, but not a whole lot of Western Canucks do so this could really piss a lot of people off. This has got me thinking about crap that has happened to other people. Thus, let's hear some stories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted March 13, 2006 I preordered Psychonauts and canceled several weeks after the release when it still hadn't been shipped. Finally bought it I think a couple of months later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted March 14, 2006 I got two copies of CD 4 with my order of Psychonauts and didn't get CD 2 at all so I had to call Majesco up. They eventually mailed CD 2 to me along with a t-shirt and a deck of cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted March 14, 2006 Lucky bastard. It's always good when company fuckups happen to you. Baseless complaining also helps. For instance, I noticed a flicker in one of the cinematics on my Warcraft III DVD, so I notified Blizzard in France and after a while they sent me the Diablo II DVD as compensation. Score!

ysbreker Posted March 14, 2006 Ordered Psychonauts and some T-shirts and stickers from the doublefine store. Took about two whole months to arrive. And I had to pay extra importtaxes That'll teach me to order stuff from the USA. It did get me a cool signed copy, A rare T-shirt (in the NL that is) and a bunch of cool stickers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosferatu Posted March 14, 2006 And I had to pay extra importtaxes A little trick, usually if you have the shipper mark the item as a gift you won't have to pay anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted March 14, 2006 I believe my order from DF was marked as a gift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted March 14, 2006 I got two copies of CD 4 with my order of Psychonauts and didn't get CD 2 at all so I had to call Majesco up. They eventually mailed CD 2 to me along with a t-shirt and a deck of cards. Yeah, same happened with my Psychonauts, except I contacted Gamestop and they just sent me a new copy of the game. (I did get that crazy looking shirt when they shipped the first copy to me) To tell the truth, I sold the Psychonauts that had those double CD 2's. So in a way I didn't pay anything for my Psychonauts, but still Tim & co. got their money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted March 14, 2006 So you sold someone a copy of Psychonauts that didn't have one of the cd's? That seems like a cruel thing to do. Are you a charlatan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted March 14, 2006 Well, I did offer him the missing cd as a cd-r... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted March 14, 2006 This was a different Psychonauts shirt. I already got the tie-dye (is it spelled tye-dye? whatever) shirt when I pre-ordered the game. This was basically the whispering rock t-shirt that you can find below, but less cool and in white and too big for me . It also had a bunch of company logos beneath the design which I assume isn't on the shirts you can buy from the doublefine store. http://shop.doublefine.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted March 14, 2006 Yes, I know that shirt, I've seen a pic of it. It was part of that one campaign in www.psychonauts.com http://www.psychonauts.com/psi.php It's the shirt on that page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
