I pre-ordered a copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl online 2 weeks ago,then sent a email to them inquiring about being guaranteed a copy and if I’ll receive it on the release date (26/6 for Australia, yes it’s been quite a delay). So, they did not reply until today, which was a bit suss in itself… I was wondering why they would not reply. After browsing my email’s, i was surprised to find that the company had finally replied just 2 days before it’s release.
In the email it states, that for one – once they receive stock, the shipping time will be stacked, thus i won’t be obtaining my copy on the release day. Second – If they happen to run out of stock, i will have to wait until they receive another batch. Okay, so that was all normal, until the next paragraph…
‘We apologise that we have not been able to supply item(s) within the estimated timeframe. CURRENT STATUS: Backordered by supplier – awaiting receipt” …Backordered, that doesn’t sound too good, ordered back, maybe? After doing a quick search with the ‘Urban Dictionary’ (http://www.urbandictionary.com/ – Great site for your everyday slang) the definition was -
’something you bought online that is not in stock and you will have to wait months and months to receive your merchandise. you will be very pissed.’ …So i have concluded, that it’s not a good thing, neither a positive word. Great.
Luckily for me, i know a mate that work’s as a manager in Toys ‘R’ Us (Yes, the Jew land of all toys), and i’ll be asking to reserve a copy for me! It’s also fairly cheap there…surprisingly. ($76 , RRP $99.99)
Ah, life as a Wii owner. Being on the go, for the games you need.
