Yeah, let out a warcry when it comes through your letterbox. Let us know when you get your hands on your copy for no apparent reason other than the fact you can.
Funny thing I just noticed is that my Gameplay order history states that my copy was despatched on 04/11/2009. If that's true then I may still get it early, but I have this awful feeling that I'm going to miss the courier as I leave for work every morning.
Called Gameplay to get my tracking number and asked them why my item was despatched so soon on the 4th. They said it was despatched on the 4th to ParcelForce and is just being held in their warehouse. She also dropped "we can't send it early" into the explanation, so I figure we'll be getting it on Tuesday.

My play.com is still packing. I figure with couriers we will all get it tuesday. I have tuesday off so going to hit Campaign for abit then hit MP in the evening with you guys I hope.
I got a courier package today but it turned out to be my books I ordered from amazon not sure why they sent it courier for a second I thought it was COD MW 2 :(

My words have come back to bite me.
I tried to choose the 'TNT 6 Quid NEXT DAY' courier which might have gotten it to me on monday, but for some reason when it just sent me my dispatch/booking confirmation email or whatever, it say's it chose the free delivery courier - same one as all you's guys.
So i'll probably be getting it tuesday - but what sucks is i'm at college both those days, so if this delivery has to be signed for i'm gonna fuckin' miss it anyway. Balls.
So, how about wednesday night we all get together for a game?
Assuming I've completed the singleplayer by Wednesday, I'm up for some sessions. :]

I am the same as jamie. Mine no longer shows up in my outstanding orders and says it was shipped out yesterday but i guess to the courier.
Darksage the reason I guess you could not get next day was because the game was not out yet so even if you said next day courier they would still get it to you on the release day. They did not want to rip you off as next day would not do anything so they just gave you the free one.

Normally they don't give it to my neighbours - they take it to the big post office depot down the road. But i have to wait 24 hours before i can collect it from there, so that will SUCK. I'm gonna leave a notice on my door saying ' Please can you drop it of at the post office just round the corner' cause my local one is a 20 second walk and they would give it to me straight away 'cause they know me.

Right so Shopto texted me earlier today -
'We are pleased to inform you that your order SOR440508 has been dispatched with UK Mail Next Business Day before 12.'
So if that is true, i'll be getting it before 12 on Monday (Unless, like some people are speculating, it will wait with them untill tuesday). Now i just have to hope they can give it to my neighbour, local post office, or they dont need it to be signed.

Just got an e-mail of Play.com telling me my order has been sent out. I checked the site and my orders, and it says it was sent today, whereas it previously said, dispatched on the 6th. So I'm not sure whether they've cancelled the courier service as the strike was called off, or that means the courier has sent it? Its saying please allow 3-5 days delivery as if it was a normal order.

Yeah my dad told me the other day that there was no strike this weekend, now i'm wondering what all this courier fuss was about. Anyway i checked my emails after i recieved that text, and the date of the email was still the 7th and it said it had dispatched with next day delivery. So all paths point to it arriving monday for me unless delayed.

I am the same as Diablo.
The strike got called off at the last miniute, reason we got couriers was they had no way of knowing if it was on or not. I still think we will all get it on tuesday.
Not going to be able to play much this week anyway got a bunch of essays to do. Was going to have tuesday off playing all day and most of the night but now we are going out Tuesday instead of Monday. So will have to do work all tuesday then have Wednesday as my day off and cod day.
09-11-2009 01:25 London North West Depot Out for delivery
I called Parcel Force up and they confirmed it is 100% coming today any time between 7AM and 5PM. Now I'm in a massive dilemma... Do I wait at home for a bit and be a few hours late for work, or do I go to work and most likely miss the delivery? If I'm late for work, that's bad for business and I lose some money, but I want MW2 in my hands today.

Hmm play.com are being odd.
I phone up to ask for a tracking number they say they cant give me one I have to go ask the courier. So I phone up the courier service who say the tracking number has to come from play and there is nothing on the computers about any parcels being sent to my postcode. he says I am the 5th person from play to call up with this problem.
So I phone play.com again they say they wont give me a tracking number but promise I will get it on tuesday.
I have a feeling I wont get my cod mw2 for a while.

I think that supports my "not sent by coruier after all" theroy. Early orders were sent out by courier, then the strike got called off and Play began shipping via RM again to save money, and forgot to turn off the auto email that lets people know it's going out via courier.

That did cross my mind. But if they had sent it royal mail on thursday when mine was sent I should get it here today but the postman has been and gone.
If It does not come by tomorrow lunch time I will just go to town and buy one then send my play.com one back when it comes.

FFs nempthis you lucky bastard. Your site must have changed back to royal mail for you to be getting it today - I just went on the shopto forums and they didn't have time change it back from the couriers and have said everyone will get them on Tuesday. I'm so fucking pissed of man. I can't play it for more than 1 hour on Tuesday due to work issues and appointments, I really needed it to come
today. Fuxk fixk fixk fuxk fuxk fuck fick fuck fuck fick uck fuck fuck fuck fuxk fick fick fuck fuck fuck fuck
fuck fuck fuck fjck fuck fuck
Well I'm at work now but left a note on my door so that the courier leaves it with a neighbour. It's not being sent by Royal Mail, it's being handled by Parcel Force as I mentioned above.
I'm not sure why they are bringing it a day early when Gameplay were saying last week that it will come on the 10th. Maybe it proves my theory that they do not want to admit they send games early on purpose, they just blame it on postal company if it arrives early.

I read a thing about IW trying to stop them sending them out eariler. There was thing on the shopto forum about the MW2 copies being held at the courier deport today so they could not be sent out till tomorrow.
I still hope play dont screw me over, all my other pre-orders fine then the one that really matters and it all goes tits up.
I kept stressing to the customer service rep whether or not she was sure it is coming today and not tomorrow. She said the package is inside a van as we speak, that's travelling from West London to North London, making deliveries on its way. So unless I have bad luck and the driver dies in a horrible accident, my game should be arriving some time before 5PM.

Yeh, so far just doing the campaign and there's really some moments that get you pumped, lot's of enemies rushing, fast music playing really submerges you in the game and you feel like a real soldier and the graphics are beautiful. Anyway, back to MW2 :D
