Zenimax and Amazon dropped the ball.

    Oh noes, now I think I am really screwed. The payment info I had in Amazon was an old address I just moved from 3 weeks ago. I changed my banking information and they said that it was declined. Just got off the horn with them and they said they would try again in just a bit. How screwed do you guys think I am now?
    lol, sorry. but so funny. I can understand. Bless you.

    I don't know about all of you, but I just spoke with Amazon customer support and they told me there is nothing they can do... they blamed Zenimax and I'm inclined to believe them. Zenimax has screwed up a couple of things operationally thus far, so this wouldn't be a first.

    Personally I don't care if I receive my copy next Friday, but the whole way this was disseminated pisses me off. To send a communication out last minute on the date of expected delivery is poor customer service all around on both Zenimax and Amazon's end.

    I ordered mine on Jan 30th and I am having no luck with Amazon.

    I am having a hard time believing we cannot get longer access for the game while this is happening. These are not the people who pick up your game 6 months after release, these are the people who support you long-term. They ignored all of the negative garbage about the game and paid a 100+ dollars. ZeniMax, you have one decent option...make it right by not cutting them off Sunday Morning.

    I logged on about 12 or 1pm today, saw the email. Went online for amazon and imediately approved the order for a different release date. I then talked to amazon customer support, and zos support.

    Amazon blamed ZOS for not sending enough of the copies out, BUT they said this is a common occurance as with new big games like this, these things usually happen, and consoled me and said: the game will come to you, but just not today, next week sometime.

    That left me skeptical, and after that i talked to ZOS support. They said its an issue right now, but that it is being fixed. he told me i would receive my game, but maybe not today. He was very re-assuring that my game would come soon, and that i was not duped out of my collectors edition. 10 minutes after, my amazon order changed to: .Preparing for Shipment". Now i have not received an email for the day i will get it, whether i still get it tonight, or not idk, or tomorow. but it changed to Preparing for shipment, so it shows things are being worked out.

    Called Amazon, they said for sure that its coming if it says preparing to ship. They aren't sure why the orders didn't go out before the launch. So I get mine on 9 April, couple days of locked out, but I guess I can hug my son or kiss my wife between those days.

    I tried submitting a customer support ticket through the support section (where I would think that you send those types of things) asking them about just switching to digital edition. I can't even click the submit button. It is like it crashed or something.

    ... Have nothing to say, but they can do something, just send us code first, I can wait for the physical staff 1 week or 2, it is fine. What we need now is a Imp edition code with explore pack.

    Unmatched. You should be ok....I think. I know the Amazon Rep I spoke to said she wasn't going to touch anything in the system to make sure the order stayed the same. So hopefully changing your billing info won't reset things in their system for some reason

    I ordered the Collector's Edition in February and mine still hasn't shipped either. On a positive note, my order status says shipping now with no estimated delivery time. I hope we all get our copies soon. I feel kind of like I'm being punished for ordering the Collector's Edition. :(

    Please extend early access for those of us stuck in this situation. I love this game and I don't want to be punished for ordering the Collector's Edition.

    OMG!?!?!?! I don't know what I did to deserve this! Maybe it was me ignoring the infomercials telling me to help kids in Africa. Or maybe it was the devil Sarah McLachlan's animal commercials that made me want to stab myself with a dull #2 pencil that I ignored. But I PROMISE I'll at least watch them now!

    With that being said, my Amazon order just cancelled itself......

    I might pick up basket weaving now...

    Call them immediately Unmatched, they can reinstate it with the correct billing info.

    Just got off the phone with Amazon, I was told that my copy is sitting in their warehouse with my name on it, but he was uncertain on why it hasn't shipped yet. He informed his supervisor and I'm expecting a phone call back about it.

    I orderd mine on feb 20th and they are telling me it has not shipped with an estimated date of april 8th. Then an email saying they will ship when ever they get back in stock. I Feel i should not have ordered the C.E as well

    Just got charged from Amazon. Things are looking better.

    Did it really Unmatched? Was it when you changed your information? That really sucks, hopefully you can find one at a Gamestop. There are some by my house or maybe a Best Buy.

    Yes, it was when I updated my billing information. I'm waiting on hold right now.

    Amazon has acknowledged this issue, and the company has said that if customers do not receive their Imperial Edition today, Amazon will contact them with a “make good” offer.

    Players who were eligible for Early Access can still play without a game activation code from a physical box until Sunday morning at 8 a.m. EDT.

    We are continuing to investigate.

    Can you please tell us, do we have to use the code from our amazon box or can we use any game code..

    Like if we buy from GameStop, beat buy, ESO website etc and will we keep everything we have?!?!?

    So, my delivery date is expected Friday the 11th. Is ZoS really going to be locking those of us out who pre-ordered the Collectors Edition of the game due to a faulty and crappy execution of delivering us goods that we actually did pay more for?
