Have any UK players received their Limited Edition boxes yet?

Well I think the title speaks for itself...

 

I live in the UK and pre-ordered the game but haven't yet received it in the post.  I've seen a couple of other posts on this issue and have sent an email to [email protected] asking them to confirm the dispatch date but have had nothing beyond their automated response assigning me a ticket (3 days ago).

 

The fact that I also have an unrelated (Gal Civ 2) ticket that's been open for 2 and a half weeks without resolution means that I don't really have much faith in them responding to me soon, so I thought I'd post this question in the hope that someone out there can put my mind at rest.

 

On a related note - if anyone HAS received their copy in the UK, what courier company delivered it, or did it come in the "normal" Royal Mail post?

 

Thanks in advance for any responses,

Please keep in mind that this was a holiday weekend in the US. Sales is back in the office today so they should be getting back to you before too long.

This is good news, in another week it may reach my neck of the woods. Unless someone at the post office eats it, they do that sometimes.

Nothing on the 9th either.  I wonder whether they were all shipped on the same day?

I got my boxed copy from Stardock today. I live in Australia. It wasn't the limited edition as I only ordered the standard one though. I completely forgot I asked for a boxed copy with the digital download haha.

Still nothing here either, unless Parcelfarce have done their usual trick of just sliding an attempted delivery notice under the tenement door and hoping for the best.

I'm not from the UK, but Belgium, and I recieved 2 copies ... one today and one yesterday, had to pay taxes twice though. But what can I say, I can sell this 2nd limited box again and have the game for cheap in the end, lol.

Well, if they were shipped on 24th (and even that may not be true going by other posts around here) they still haven't had the full three weeks to be delivered so I'm not complaining yet.  It is annoying, though, that other people in Belgium, Australia and the UK have received their copies.  Mine was pre-ordered pretty much as soon as it was available.

I got mine on the 08th September.

It arrived in a really poor condition.  The box is a complete write off as its all ripped and squashed.  In a way it either a truck rolling over it (marks look like tyre tracks) or someone have been using it as a football.

The contents are thankfully mostly okay, there are some serious creases in the books and the dragon looks somewhat squashed.

Glad I have the LE delivered just not happy about its condition.  Doubt anything can be done though...

Wow RPGer, if that happens to me I'll be returning it and getting a replacement shipped out.

Please contact [email protected] about this, they should be able to tell if there's anything we can do.

Got mine by courier last week and another one 3 days ago, Stardock sent me an extra LE copy for no reason...............

I'm still waiting for mine (though I'm not yet panicking as it looks like a lot of others are in the same boat), but I still haven't received a response from sales!

Wow, me too, I actually got another mint version today whcih was shipped from another location on the 26th August 2010.

The battered copy I received on Wednesday was posted on the 03rd September 2010.

Snail mail wins the post in quality received thats for certain.

No idea why I have received 2 copies, but if you want the battered copy back you're more than welcome to it.

Any more in the UK received theirs?  I emailed Sales last weekend and got a reply early this week saying they'd send another out.  That's good enough for me!  I'll post again when I receive it.

Still haven't got mine, but sales said it wasn't shipped until the 3rd so we're only just coming up to the two week mark.
