So I will have to wait up to 2 days more than one who doesn't pre-order for the product to be shipped. Unless they mistyped or something.

Estimated release dates indicate when the manufacturer ships the product from their facilities. Futureshop usually receives the product, and ships pre-orders to customers, 2-3 days after this release date.

It's stupid. You expect to get it earlier when you preorder, but as I've learned from amazon.ca, this isn't the truth

Huh?

Pre-Orders: This product is scheduled to arrive in our warehouse on the Release Date ... ships pre-orders to customers, 2-3 days after this release date.

In Stock: Usually ships next business day. (Including if you order it on the release date.)

I pre-ordered the SE of UT2004 from futureshop on the 23rd of Feburary. It listed the release date as the 16th of March. The SE is sold out, but they had the standard version in today, which must mean they have gotten the SE too. This is taken from their site:



So this is saying that if you pre-ordered the game, you get it shipped to you 2-3 days after the release date. But if you just wait untill the release date and order it then, it gets shipped to you the next day. Shouldn't you get the game first if you take the time to go and pre-order it?

No, thats not what it is saying at all..... It says they will send u the game when they get it. they cant excactly pull the game out of a hat for ppl that pre-ordered it..... When they get it they will send it and if postage takes an extra day then badluck, u opted for it...

We make every effort to show the accurate date provided by our suppliers. However Release dates are unstable and can be changed by the manufacturer at any time. Estimated release dates indicate when the manufacturer ships the product from their facilities. Futureshop usually receives the product, and ships pre-orders to customers, 2-3 days after this release date.


In Stock: Usually ships next business day.
This is an estimate only. This means we will ship the product once we confirm that stock is available and we have processed your order.

So this is saying that if you pre-ordered the game, you get it shipped to you 2-3 days after the release date. But if you just wait untill the release date and order it then, it gets shipped to you the next day. Shouldn't you get the game first if you take the time to go and pre-order it?
