Did anyone in the UK/EU use Zavvi?

Postby Tott » January 6th, 2022, 6:58 am

I pre-ordered the 2021 remake from Zavvi and they claim to have sent it to me on the 25/11/21 and that it may take 21 days, still no sign of it. Im in Ireland, has anyone else had a delivery from Zavvi yet?
theyre not able to provide tracking numbers either.

I'm in the US, and the longest shipping times I've had for stuff was from asia (2 months), but if you haven't already I would contact their customer service to find out what's going on. Could just be late or could be lost in the mail. These days it's anyone's guess, but it couldn't hurt to get them to check in on it for you.

Zavvi is known for their low prices, but slow shipping.
Personally I've never ordered there (my brain can't handle slow shipping which is not trackable) but I know a several people who do.
Parcels do show up, but it takes a while....plus the holidays have F'd up shipping; many delays.

That's so disappointing, Tott! I hope that someday in the far and distant future you post that your order finally has arrived.

Well, potentially moaning about Zavvi on this forum was good luck, but this morning my Mythic Tier (which was supposedly first shipped to me on the 25/11/2021) turned up!
still in a state of shock but very very happy to soon be playing HQ for the first time in nearly three decades! :)

Wow, that is a long time to wait! Looking forward to seeing your review (even if it's a little late for an "unboxing" do what you want!).
