    Hey everyone!

    Firstly we'd like to say thank you to Streega and Linalea for posting the link already for us!

    If you have ordered the Physical Collector's Edition, and it's not arriving today, please check out the thread linked just below and make use of the form within the thread:

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/413867/late-delivery-for-pc-mac-summerset-physical-ce-click-here

    We hope this helps!

    This doesn't actually help people who preordered but are now seeing their game is "Delayed". Will you be sending copies to fill those orders? Should those people cancel and buy elsewhere? If they wait until Zeni sends more stock, will they be allowed to play?

    I reached out to Amazon about my Xbox Collector's Edition and they said "Rest assured, all will be delivered and on time".

    Why do I not feel very confident?

    I told them I was worried due to what happened with the PC people.

    So, if you've preordered from Amazon and the staus is "Delayed", you haven't actually paid for it yet. You don't pay until it ships, which leaves tons of people in limbo: unable to get a code to play the game they preordered because they haven't paid (understandable), unsure if Amazon is ever going to have copies to fulfill their order, and reluctant to cancel that order and purchase elsewhere, lest they lose their preorder bonuses.

    How is this ok? Zeni - you HAVE TO do better than this. Either the suppliers need to know precisely how many copies they can sell and need to be held to not overselling, or Physical CE's need to be ordered and shipped through Zeni/Bethesda exclusively. People that preorder shouldn't find out on release day that their order can't be fullfilled. That you would allow this to happen to your customers in unconscionable.

    This^^^..
    I went to fill out the form link above that @ZOS_GinaBruno posted.
    Went to find my pre-order info from Amazon. I ordered it on march 29th.
    But as said, because it hasn't shipped, I haven't a invoice or payment receipt as they don't bill you till it ships, so I can't even fill out the ZoS form.
    This is really sad!! Have bought all the ESO CE items and not had this kind of "snafu".
    Guess I will find a better use for my day off I took to play Summerset.... :(

    Ordered from Amazon UK the day it was announced. Got mail last night saying it was out for delivery and got it this afternoon. Much smaller box than Morrowind but i think thats good for me due to space. Also the statue has a brown marking on her stomach, dont know if she’s supposed too?? Anyways soz you have’nt recieved yours yet

    Yep, seems Zenimax screwed sellers. Amazon US says they won't receive any more until "July 5th" (could be a typo of June).

    Just FYI, Amazon US told me an hour ago they were sold out and had no way of getting more. The Amazon rep said nothing about Zeni underdelivering; she admitted that they kept taking orders for two months after they'd effectively sold out. So on top of being incompetent, it looks like they can't even be consistent in giving answers.

    Interesting, Amazon rep I spoke to says they didn't receive enough supply. I guess it's probably on both parts, Amazon for taking orders after cutoff and Zenimax for not meeting demand.

    Why are you blaming Zos for Amazon's screwup ?


    I ordered thru Amazon ONCE..a wow expansion. Day of delivery got an email.."delayed". Gamestop had copies so I promptly cancelled my order and went to GameStop and bought the game.

    I learned my lesson. Amazon seems to just take orders non stop without having any clue as to how many copies they will actually get to ship to customers.

    It's not Amazon's screw up. ZOS didn't supply enough, even after receiving preorder numbers and knowing how many should be supplied.

    Business doesn't work that way my friend. Zos tells Amazon how many copies they will get because Amazon isn't the only retailer.

    In my experience that's how preorders have always worked at store like Gamestop, they have preorders for what they know will be supplied, and then they also report back with how many preorders there are to receive enough to fulfill the orders (plus some extra stock for release day). I could always be wrong though.

    For anyone who got screwed by Amazon, I suggest canceling and ordering through NewEgg or Best Buy (for US). No clue about BB, but NewEgg has free 2-day shipping with a PayPal account.

    Ya know if I think back I recall a similar theme on Morrowind CE orders.

    The good thing about Amazon is they don't charge until they ship but the bad thing about Amazon is they accept tons of pre-orders but only fulfill what they get in stock.

    I had the same occur with an Xbox One HOTAS controller months ago and they got stock around 6 months later due to the manufacturer not planning adequately for demand.

    Agreed. It erodes trust in Amazon and ZOS both. An Amazon credit or a free month of Prime doesn't begin to make up for it.

    Just got my physical collectors edition delivered. Apparently Amazon couldn't be bothered to put it in a box. Came as is with a shipping label that, thankfully, peeled off easily and cleanly. Also the corners were a little neat up nut otherwise alright. Nothing was damaged and I'm not too bothered. But really, couldn't spare a box? My Morrowind collectors edition came in a box.

    I don't know when my physical Collectors' Edition is arriving because my genius husband only ordered it on Saturday :s
    Apparently when I informed him that I wanted the physical Collectors' Edition for my birthday and that he should preorder it, he didn't understand that I meant that preorders were already available. Umm...

    Still, this is better than last year when I informed my husband that I wanted the physical Collectors' Edition of Morrowind on the day it was announced, and he made no attempt to buy it. I ended up buying myself the digital version because the physical was sold out within about a week of the announcement.

    Yours is shipped then? We cancelled our Amazon order and ordered through GameStop instead. They shipped it same day, and had plenty in stock, according to their website.

    I'm sure that means we lost the pre-order bonuses, but we'll be a squeaky wheel until that is solved. We ordered in early April, not our fault that neither Amazon nor ZOS could manage their supply chain....

    We cancelled our Amazon order and ordered through G ameStop instead. They shipped it same day, and had plenty in stock, according to their website.

    Good to hear you were able to cancel. Yesterday I asked an Amazon rep to cancel my "pre-order" because they told me they couldn't get me the item at all and I wanted to order from a retailer who could. The rep assured me she would, but today I see the status has changed to "Shipping Now" and the order can't be cancelled at all. According to a different rep I spoke with today, the order couldn't be cancelled yesterday because their fulfillment center was already processing it then. (This despite the fact that the order said "Not Yet Shipped" and I was assured they would get no more in stock.) Now they've taken my money but can't give me any delivery estimate whatsoever. I'm looking at having to call my credit card company to sort this out.

    In the meantime, the first couple of reviews on Amazon are not boding well for the quality of this CE. I suppose I'll be able to judge for myself when my Newegg order arrives tomorrow. At least I got the pre-order entitlements yesterday and won't have to file another ticket over the fact that neither retailer included those codes on the receipt as ZOS said they would.

    I'm quickly passing the point where this was worth the time, money, and hassle.

    Amazon are awful for overselling. Yeah there are folk that have never had an issue with Amazon, but there are many other who have been shafted by Amazon's overselling. This isn't the fault of ZoS. Google. Amazon have shafted people with consoles, phones, you name it.

    Pre ordering from Amazon is hit and miss. That said, they're not the only retailer that do this, but because they're the largest, they're the worst for it. They oversell so they're not left with excess stock which inevitably shafts customers that could have shopped elsewhere.
