Battlefield 3

Because talk is very cheap, in my experience :p That, and my order said "awaiting shipment" this morning. I wasn't aware that TakeALot now has a Johannesburg depo, however. Normally my goods came from CT so if it was sent from there, only today, I would've received it on Monday.

What I think happened is that TakeAlot must have shipped the game to the nearest depo for those that pre-ordered, and so that it was just the last leg of delivery to do today.

They are trying to get my roommate's copy to me today. It's presently otw to CTIA, then they will phone me when it arrives at their shipping agents in ORT, to see if I could collect faster than they could deliver.

In any event, they have guaranteed delivery by tomorrow (which still sucks).

Let's hope it comes today!

Who is the courier company they are using?

I would like to know as well - since the lady at TakeAlot wasn't able to give me the address of the depo in JHB, as she didn't know which branch to deliver to.

I deal with courier companies on a daily bases. If I know which one I can make sure I get mine today ;)
If someone does get theirs, please confirm which courier company it was that delivered it please?

I wouldn't be too bothered about only getting it tomorrow, to be honest. I suspect the servers will get killed tonight in any case.

Could you help me out as well? :) Promise to repay the favour if I see you online!

True - but it would be nice for him to be able to install it + download the update so long, so that we could play tomorrow first thing.

They used to use CourierIT all the time but this says express delivery so i'm wondering if they're using those little Takealot scooter things of theirs :P a buddy of mine also once had a delivery from them from Mr Delivery o.O lolwut
 
I'm in the same boat. I gave them my home address if the delivery is to arrive tomorrow. If it delivers today, it must go to my work address, tomorrow - home address. Let's hope that isn't too confusing!
 
My game delivered at 9:50am from TakeAlot. Curse you work :( Oh well i guess social life takes a backseat tonight :D
 
I gave my work address for delivery...

To me it's a problem as I don't work weekends.

I did the same thing, and it's pay weekend and also the company's year end function, so everyone is leaving pretty damn early. I'm just sticking around until the courier arrives, probably. Will give you a shout when they do decide to pitch.
 
I was supposed to work tonight at Metro EMS but everyone there knows that I won't be there tonight because of BF3 LE :)

Sorry, I want to be selfish for just 1 night!!!
 
I have never had any "awaiting Shipment" messages.

Mine just said: "Expected 28 October 12:00"

That then changed to: Expected 28 October

Now it says: Nothing

That's not your order, that's the product page, lol.

Click the number to the left when in your order history.
