Hi Richard Zapp This is great news. :up: Did UBI send you or how did you find out?

[Barkhorn1x]

Dude, you wouldn't be kidding us now would you??? :huh:

Common' now look again and confirm.



* I will say this UBI is not the most together company there is - witness the multiple versions fiasco. So it really wouldn't surprise me if not everyone got the "fairness" memo.

I hope that Ubisoft didn't screw up and lied to you!;) If it's true you're a lucky bastard!:arrgh!:

[DJSatane]

Anyone else shipped yet?

[Schultzy]

:arrgh!: If it's true, congrats mate.

[hyperion2206]

Anyone else shipped yet?

I just looked at my Ubisoft pre-order but Ubisoft Germany didn't make the mistake to ship my copy early.:stare::p

[Richard Zapp]

I'm not kidding! I just checked my order staus again on the Ubisoft/US store website and its listed as shipped Fed Ex ground March 8th to my address.
Probably won't get it until Monday but HEY I'm off all next week!
Last night the order was still showing as "in process"
:up:

[mr chris]

I pre ordered via subsim and just checked my account at amazon and this what it said.
Delivery estimate: 15 Mar 2007 - 16 Mar 2007 Next weekend is good for me.

[THE_MASK]

Neal has been quiet , probably playing the damn game . Wheres the review?

[FIREWALL]

WOO HOO :rock: :rock: :rock:
Just checked with Ubi and it's been shipped today.:sunny:

[shoot-kill-win]

[Richard Zapp]

Ok, here is a print screen of it showing that it was shipped today.:D

Perhaps word didn't get passed to the people running the Ubisoft store to hold on the shipments? Let's us know how it is when it arrives! I'm going to have to cross my fingers Gamestop does the same thing.

[rocco]

Mine shipped too, should be here tommorow.

edit: I wonder if I'm the only crazy bastard that paid for overnight shipping? Surely not...

I also was notified it was shipped today (MN) and I probably am the only one of hundreds that will have his game and not be able to play it for 10 or more days. I am away on business and pleasure though I will watch for your comments. WOE IS ME

[Chief of the Boat]

Mine's on the way...

[bwchaney]

I also had ordered from the ubi store and they said it was fedexed on 3-8-07 with 2 day service. I should have it on Saturday or Monday. I will give you initial impressions asap. Brian Chaney:cool:

FedEx doesn't deliver on Saturday unless special arrangements (read: 25 bucks) are made. I would look for it on monday.

**Ding Ding** Another winner!

Mine shipped today as well; yeah, man!

Thanks for the heads up; I would've forgotten to look for it!:D

[NefariousKoel]

Mine shipped from Ubi today too.

I had to choose 3-5 day delivery because FedEx doesn't have 2 day down here in the boonies. :(

[Safe-Keeper]

Does this mean that stores'll be getting them, too? Or is it a special treat for those of you who ordered it on-line?

[rodan54]

I'm thinking it's likely just for those who preorderd online. If this statement form the North American Ubi community manager is anything to go by.

"Especially of notice is the fact that the US Edition will be released on March 20th. This is a fact that was changed in part due to keep things fair and have it release closer to the EMEA/World wide editions (rather than being more than a week ahead)."

[Richard Zapp]

Does this mean that stores'll be getting them, too? Or is it a special treat for those of you who ordered it on-line?

I'm not really sure. I pre-ordered online on Feb 12th and of course I would check the order status everyday (I know, I'm impatient) and the ship/release date on the order was Mar 13th. But hey! they shipped today and thats great. It was a total surprise to me!
:up:

[Crosseye76]

Very good to know they are on the way ! :cool: :D

[cdrsubron7]

:rock: :rock: Mine arrives on Saturday also. That means when I get home from work on Saturday, I'm gonna be very busy sinking Japanese ships. YEA, BABY :up:


Guys, meet me at the OC at the Royal Hawaiian, I'm buying the first round, maybe even the second.:()1::()1:



cdrsubron7 ;) :smug:

[Sturat]

Mine shows that it shipped today as well. :D

[Ark]

If it is like Ubisoft used to do it, they will ship your item so it arrives on the release date.

I hope I'm wrong though....I shipped Next-Day Air. That may be why mine has not shipped yet.


*EDIT* Holy cow...mine shipped with an arrival date of Friday! It also says "Item Shipped" on March 8, 2007. WTF! LOL

So I'm getting the game 11 days before the official release date? If true....that's some darn good service!

Show me the tracking number (sorry, I'm not much of an optimist when it comes to this stuff)! :D

[TDK1044]

Mine apparantly shipped today also. It's expected Saturday. :D

[Ark]

Has anybody recieved a tracking number?

After my FSAA posts, I wouldn't be suprosed if my copy got "lost in the mail". lol

Not me, but there will probably not be one until Fed Ex actually picks it up and scans it into their system. At least thats what I'm telling myself.
:shifty:

[TDK1044]

Confusing though. The Ubi store has charged my card and claim to have shipped the game, but the Ubi site says this:

Pre-load now available!

Thursday 03/08/07 - For those of you who would rather not leave your home or office you can download Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific through the Ubisoft Digital Store. You can pre-load the game starting now allowing you start playing the moment the game is released online on 3/21/07!

Why would the on-line version be so late if the retail version has shipped?

Hey, hey, hey!

Mine shipped today too, just in time for March Break here :up:

No confirming e-mail with tracking number yet though, so hopefully that'll come.

If my sub's a-rockin' this weekend... hopefully I've got busty Army nurses aboard :|\\

[Ark]

It's possible Ubi shipped out all the first 3,000 pre-orders early since they are in limited supply (3,000 copies for the special edition here in America).

Time will tell though....about 15 in fact. lol

[flintlock]

There is no Special Edition in North America, just a standard edition that ships with a few "extras" initially, and it's not limited to 3000 copies. The 3000 limit is for the Deluxe Edition, which is only available via Ubi's UK online store. There are Special and Collectors Editions available, though they're world-wide and region specific (not in North America).

Extra stuff and only available for a limited time sounds special to me. :)

I could have swore that the initial set (with the extra stuff) was limited to 3000 copies for the US/Canada. I read it somewhere, but I can't remember where.

[flintlock]

[Ark]

I could have swore that the initial set (with the extra stuff) was limited to 3000 copies for the US/Canada. You must be confusing the 3000 copies with the Deluxe Edition. Ubi has stated that they have not decided when they will remove the "extra" items from the North American edition of SH4, and specifically what they may remove at that time.

Ahh maybe that was it. Either way, I don't really care. Extra stuff or not, I just want the game. Everything else is trivial as far as I'm concerned. lol :arrgh!:

[Roads88]

[Drebbel]

I almost had an heart attack, I visited the UBI store and it said no irders where listed. I was thinking )(*^%*)()*( :arrgh!:

Untill I found out that UBI had a STORE, and a SHOP.

My order, the special tin box edition, was not listed at the store but luckily it was indeed listed at the shop. :D

The Ubi order confirmation states that you will receive an email stating your order has shipped.

I never received another email, so I'm guessing nothing has shipped....despite what the website says.

Depends on what edition you purchased, if you got the delux tin edition then that had to be prepaid. It might be an administrative error that got picked up when they were trying to box it up.

Sadly my order isn't showing as shipping shipped or otherwise just yet. (UK-Deluxe Edition)

[Reece]

If FedEx has shipped it's shipped!!!:yep: I have to wait for a phone call from EB down here in Aussie land, probably a week yet.:cry: Oh well back to SH3!;)

Of course yes. Actually, when you purchase any kind of product online, the money is just blocked in your account based on the Instant Payment Notification, not taken away. When the vendor sends the Instant Delivery Notification, the online processing company actually moves the money from one account to another, Your money is still in your account, but they are blocked and hidden.

[AJ!]

Ubisoft arnt the best when it comes to publishing are they....

The release dates were changed at the last minute to 20th US and 23rd UK and now they have even got that wrong. That doesnt make sense why they are sending out copies 11 days early :o

Just out of interest but are these copies everyone is getting eary the standard edition or collectors?

[TDK1044]

Without tracking numbers or confirmation e-mails, this could just be a case of changing the status of the accounts in order to allow the credit cards to be debited.

If these items have shipped, you'll see confirmations of delivered games posted here within 24 hours. If there are no confirmations then I'd leave your order alone.

[flintlock]

Some people which reported their order shipped yesterday have also paid for overnight shipping. If it has in fact shipped, we may see posts of SH4 arrivals this afternoon.

Welcome Aboard Pyson,
Well Mates I'm sitting on the beach in Baja California, Mexico. The "Forgotten Peninsula". There's no Fedex, UPS, or Postal service available in my area. So I will have to sit back and read your adventures until I return home in a couple of weeks. Hopefully my copy will have arrived. Enjoy.............I'll just sit here and drink another Tecate beer..................

[geetrue]

Have a lobster taco with that beer sunvalleyslim and when you do ...

Just say, "This one's for all the guys over at subsim.com" :rock:

[Drebbel]

So where are these confirmations from ?

ubi STORE or SHOP ?

It seems they are two different things, note the screenies below for my account. Not that it makes sense ubi has 2 stores/shops, like always ubi's way of thinking is a deep dark secret :D

And for which version are these confirmations ? I ordered the tin-can edition.

i think all u guys are gettin way ahead of yourselves. the game aint released in the US for another 11 days (tuesday 20th). the earliest your gonna get it would be monday 19th. there are very good reasons why games have OFFICIAL release dates

[TDK1044]

This is the response I got to my shipping date inquiry:

i preordered mine off of amazon 2wks ago, was goin to go through ubisoft, but i have prime on amazon, so its only 2$ for fedex overnight.

Cant pass that up... i can wait a week or so for it... i still have sh3 to hold me over

[hmatthias]

hmmm...ships from Indianapolis, and I live in Indaianpolis. AMAZON <cancel> UBISOFT <order> :D

My expected delivery date is still March 15th.

Here's what I'm thinking:

- If the guys who went overnight from UBI don't get theirs by Monday latest then we all have to wait until the week after next.
- If they do get their copies then I really don't think that "fairness" memo had any effect on the distribution chain.

Stay tuned......:ping:

I was told Saturday or Monday for my order to arrive. I wonder if it's becuase my order was sent off to the warehouse yesterday morning. He said if the order went out today, it would probably be an extra day, and the orders that went out yesterday would more than likely be shipping today (for Overnight orders). Either way, putting "Quantity Shipped: 1" on the "My Orders" page is misleading.

Heck, I wasn't even planning on recieving it until the 20th. though. lol

[rocco]

OK folks.

Here's the skinny.

No one's order has actually shipped. You will not get it until the 20th. It sucks. It Blows. But it's true.

[rodan54]

Seems rocco's information was correct. Just saw this statement from Audibleknight on the Ubisoft boards.

"Hey everyone, there's been some talk in the forums about SH4 shipping early from the US Ubi store so that it will arrive in the next few days. I checked with my contact in the Ubi store, and have been informed that any e-mails received on this was due to a system error due to the change in release date. This means that unfortunately you will not receive your copy of Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific this weekend. I figure it's better that you have an offial statement now, rather than be disappointed this weekend when nothing comes.

I was assured that the Ubi Store will ship the orders as soon as possible with the goal that everyone who pre-ordered at the US store will get it and be able to play on March 20th. I apologize for any confusion and disappointment caused by this. Thanks for your understanding."

Finally some official word.

It would be nice if Ubisoft would at least inform people via their website, rather than have 2-3 different dates floating around, and then letting discussions carry on for a few days.

Did everybody miss my thread I posted this morning....DIRECTLY after I called and spoke to an Ubi representative and posted what he told me? LOL :D

Edit: this written below was written before the two posts above...

Did you read anything I've wrote?

Mine said it shipped the 8th, with overnight shipping I should be holding it in my hands!!! I called the support number, pissed off because I paid big bucks for overnight shipping. They said it has been delayed and that I should not expect it until the 20th.

I complained, claiming they were shipping it as standard ground in order to save on the shipping costs. He said that is not the case and that when I receive the order I can confirm that it was indeed shipped overnight. Maybe you should try calling again, as I'm not sure when you called, I called Mar. 9th at about 5pm central time.

Hope this can help clear things up.

I did call the support number, and that is not what they told me. : /

Did everybody miss my thread I posted this morning....DIRECTLY after I called and spoke to an Ubi representative and posted what he told me? LOL :D

Did you read anything I've wrote?

Mine said it shipped the 8th, with overnight shipping I should be holding it in my hands!!! I called the support number, pissed off because I paid big bucks for overnight shipping. They said it has been delayed and that I should not expect it until the 20th.

I complained, claiming they were shipping it as standard ground in order to save on the shipping costs. He said that is not the case and that when I receive the order I can confirm that it was indeed shipped overnight. Maybe you should try calling again, as I'm not sure when you called, I called Mar. 9th at about 5pm central time.

Hope this can help clear things up.

PS I'm just as pissed as the rest of you

I too have the same order information, as well as the same shipping. We all seem to get different information depending on what site we go to, who we speak to, or who feeds us information. Of course, Ubi isn't known for the most accurate information. Now we have a community manager telling us that his "contact" told him something different. Yay for a lack of communication. That's what is disappointing. I call in the morning and get one answer. You call in the late afternoon and get a different answer. Is there anybody at Ubi that actually knows what is going on?

I'm not pissed at all. I expected to get the product on the 20th. I just think it's poor form for a company to seemingly completely lack organization.

I hope that clarifies my position on this matter. :)

I just want to change my shipping to standard instead of overnight since it doesn't matter how much you paid, you still get it on the 20th. Friggin BS. THAT'S what I'm pissed about.

I'm not sure if that would be entirely accurate, at least in my experience. So far, all of the times (except for one time) I have pre-ordered in the past with Overnight shipping (from various game companies), I have received the product before those utilizing other shipping methods.

[rocco]

Thanks for the info Ark. It will be interesting to see. I don't necessarily want the game first or anything like that, I just wanted it as soon as possible. I can't see paying extra just to pay extra though (I think you understand what I'm trying to say here).

It just seems awfully odd that they have the game, but simply choose not to ship it.

As for the subsim preorder, I actually preordered before I started coming by here regularly, but Amazon has always messed up my orders anyway.

The shipping of this game seems to be as chaotic as the different versions created. The only sensible thing to do is just wait for it to arrive and hope it's the correct version.

[flyingdane]

I've been waiting for this sence we first found out that there was going to be a SH4, One more week won't kill me. :sunny:

[cdrsubron7]

I concur, I can wait another week, all I'm looking for is the game, that's where my real interest lies. Anything else that comes with the game unless it has to installing or playing, I'm not going to be paying much attention to for awhile. :yep:

I didn't interpret it the same.

From what I understand, you'll still get it before those of us who ordered regular 3-5 day shipping. Even further, it would seem you'll get it well before the retail store release date.

This sh*t is like Crack isn't it?:rock: I needs now!!!

Have you missed out on all of the other posts? lol

Here is what is causing the raukus among us (haha, a rhyme):

1. Multiple sites list different dates.
2. Ubisoft's site lists/listed a different date than their own Official Forum.
3. Some of us have actually called and spoken to an Ubi Representative (I called this morning), and been told our orders would ship Friday or Monday (especially if Overnight shipping was the shipping method chosen).
4. Others have called Ubi and spoken to them as well, and heard something different than what I heard when I called.
5. Some of us have "Quantity Shipped: 1" listed on the "My Orders" page, along with a date. Noticed the tense of the word "Shipped"?
6. The post by Audibleknight talks about an error in the emails we recieved. Well, as far as I know.....none of us received any "shipping" emails, hence my post about anybody actually recieving a shipping confirmation via email.

That is what is causing confusion. ;)

I pre-ordered on 2-7-07 from UBI. It was charged to my credit card on 3-8-07.They have to ship it within the next few days. My account page at UBI shows SH IV shipped on 3-8-07. My guess is it will arrive next week sometime.:D

Their reason for wanting to "be fair" is all fine and well, but they should have started implementing their fair shipping policy the next time around instead of making a promise and then breaking it. I understand about things happening, but this time things didn't happen . . . they changed their mind without regard to the promise they made. That is inexcusable because it's not an unforseen circumstance.

[mookiemookie]

I don't see what all the pissing and moaning is about. The game is stated to ship on the 20th, and that's it. I can see why you'd get your hopes up if you got an email confirmation saying it was shipping earlier, but hey, mistakes happen. You're still getting it on the original date promised.

[geetrue]

The words release and shipping are two different words ... I know that to get 100,000 boxes of DVD's in the system is going to take more than a few days.

They have met that problem by shipping early, perhaps they will release the game on March 20th, but you don't get a notice that it has shipped on March 8th and then put it off till the actual release date of March 20th.

Shipped means shipped, but the weekend got in the way and as soon as Fed Ex can scan that label Ubi can get paid ... Money makes the wheels go round. :know:

Tuesday will be a day of rejoicing around here ... for the overnighters that is. :yep:

It would be nice if Neal as he is in the loop or someone for UBISOFT would answer the different threads so the we won't be left hanging for the next few days.I pre ordered from Ubisoft store yesterday and before I did I called and customer service said it would ship on Monday and I ordered overnight shipping.Thats what the man said so I hope thats what will take place.

I understand your frustration. I have no specific knowledge, but it feels to me like the Corporate Division of Ubisoft made an executive decision to delay the US release of the game so that the US and Europe/Austrailia would all get delivery of the game within a few days of each other.

The problem is that nobody told Ubisoft customer service that, so those guys are promising a March 13 shipping date when in all probability it will be a March 20 shipping date.

This was most likely caused by computers (like the Y2K glitch}:arrgh!: not being ready for the earlier than normal reset of daylight savings time:rotfl:
