Global Priority post - recent issues

[dc-arena]

I have been buying games and hardware from them for years, and they have always been excellent for service and delivery etc. However the last two gams I have bought from them have taken over two weeks to arrive in England. This is a bit weird as they only take two or three days usually.

Just wondering if anyone else had has delays in getting stuff sent from them? According to the site they had shipped the items the same day as ordering, so it must be something with the way they are shipped, but it appears they are being sent by the same method.

Very odd.

My most recent order took 7 days to arrive using Global Priority Mail which is slightly longer than usual, but I put that down to the fact that my order came in a big box (it was Sakura Taisen V Episode 0 with all the Sega Direct bits 'n' pieces). Apart from that, all my stuff has arrived in 3-5 days whether by Global Priority or standard Airmail.

What shipping method did you use?

I have an order form a different us retailer atm and it was sent using global priority which was sent over a week ago and i'm still waiting for it

I've bought quite a few items from the US recently and it's gone from 4 working days to over 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure it's due to new checks as part of the 'war on terror'.

I wouldn't aim the blame towards NCSX as such. Unless the item you ordered (if it was in stock, and you've ordered before the cut-off time for orders to be sent same-day) but they didn't ship it on the day. Instead a few days later.

Just slow: USPS > Mount Pleasant Customs > Royal Mail shinanegins.

I'm still waiting just over 3 months for something from VG+...

My stuff from both Play-Asia and VG+ has been taking a lot longer to get to me than the usual 3-5 day time-frame.

Global Priority.
Its weird though, my Paper Mario 2 shipped from Tronix on release day last week, and it arrived this morning, using Global Priority. Perhaps the last couple of games from NCSX have just been unlucky and got caught in the bomb filter..

Hopefully I'll get it in the next few days.
