Dominion: Empires Previews / Re: Where did you buy / pre-order Empires? Has it shipped yet?
« on: June 09, 2016, 03:51:02 pm »I ordered from Amazon last night with regular Prime shipping after my FLGS said they did not expect to have copies until middle of next week. I got shipping notice today, but right now it says it won't arrive until Monday. I am optimistic based on the reports here that it will show up tomorrow or Saturday.You might be right if that was just your first notice. But if the notice you are talking about is the one with a tracking number, then their estimate is probably correct. My first notice said Monday (that's why I chose overnight because without it they were saying Tuesday, and I wanted it for game night on Monday). Then when I got the shipping notice with tracking number they said it would come today, which it did. I got both notices yesterday within a few hours of each other. If you didn't get a notice until today you may have ordered too late to meet yesterdays shipping deadline.
Also, it will depend on the shipper. UPS and FedEx are pretty good with their estimates. But regular Prime shipping sometimes goes via USPS. A lot of people complain about that, but I've had good luck with them. Sometimes I even get things on Sunday, even though that seems kind of extreme, since default Prime shipping doesn't guarantee delivery on either Saturday or Sunday. In a lot of cases I wasn't expecting them to deliver on Sunday and almost felt bad that some postal employee had to drive to my neighborhood just to deliver some simple thing I ordered via Prime.
