Up until now, Gogamer.com was doing a fantastic job. All of that changed when I placed an order for two copies of World in Conflict during one of their 48 hour madness promotions.
I ordered on December 26th, well before a few of my friends who I notified of the deal. They ordered it too, but they only ordered one copy each.
Fast forward to yesterday, Jan 3rd - my order has still not proceeded past the processing stage. One of my friends received his game three days ago. Same city, same game, except he ordered AFTER I did, and only one copy. Another friend, who was on BACKORDER status, received his shipping notification over a week ago. He's been out of town, but I can only assume he has his game already. Of course, we all chose the same shipping option.
To say I've been penalized for ordering two copies would be ridiculous. Yet I can't see any reasonable reason as to why my order sat in processing for over a week. I even asked GoGamer why, and their response was "Hey, we shipped it! What are you talking about?"
Well, actually..no...you didn't. I checked the tracking number with USPS and this is what it says:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on January 3, 2008 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.
This happens, of course, conveniently after I've lodged my question/complaint. What was it doing in processing hell for over a week? Your guess is as good as mine. According to GoGamer, there obviously isn't a problem here.
They had one chance to save face in my eyes: ship my item TODAY Jan 4th with an expedited shipping option. Instead, it still sits in limbo. I'm on the verge of just canceling the whole order, but I've been looking forward to playing this game for a while.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed because GoGamer previously provided great service with very competitive pricing. What a shame, as this will most likely be my last purchase there.
