Good luck Civilidees, please let us know if the status of your
order changes (too late for me because they told me to cancel
my order but others may be interested).

Dear Mads,

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com. I am sorry to hear that the
software you ordered will not reach you.

Unfortunately, pending clarification of federal regulations now in
place regarding the shipment of computer software products outside
the U.S., we have temporarily discontinued shipping software titles
overseas.

Please note that your credit card has not been charged. Since your order
will not be able to reach you because of the federal regulations I have
cancelled your order.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may
cause. We value your business and hope that you will continue to
shop with us at Amazon.com.


Best regards,

S. Walker

>COMMENTS: I have pre-ordered Civilization III Limited Edition Tin two
months ago, and now I hear that you "Currently not will sell this item
outside of USA", I live in Denmark, Europe, but when I pre-ordered the
game the country Denmark was available. My question is: Will you ship the
game to me? At my order page, it say that the "Game is still not
shipped...", but will it soon, or what?
>Many people in Europe are confused about that. Please answer back. Thank
you!

I've posted this elsewhere now, but I think this is the best place for it, especially as people are asking for updates.

My order status has changed to: Shipping Soon: We are preparing these items for shipment and can no longer change shipping and billing options for them.

We live in hope, indeed

[kittenOFchaos]

They have moved my expected arrival date from the 7th to the 8th!

I'm hoping that it somehow gets here sooner.

Same here... as long as it arrives before it's in the shops

[JanB]

My delivery date has also changed but I suppose that this reflects the one day delay in posting. BUT - its COMING!!!!
I'm so excited

I've received an e-mail saying that my copy of Civ3 has been shipped and will arrive in 2-6 days (average). So the game will ship to Europe and there should be no problem!!

It doesn't mean that the webshops will
deliver the LE to non Americans for sure.
So I suggest that every single one of us
would join The Bisquit Tin Coalition.

See www.the-bisquit-tin-coalition.cjb.net for more information.

E-mail from Amazon received just after midnight this morning - My order IS SHIPPED!! It spent 24 hours about to be shipped which was twenty four hours after I thought it should be shipped but hey, who's counting?! I am still excited that it's coming despite some negative stuff on the forum - of course, I shall do better! Ha Ha

Hoping yours are all shipped too,

Jan

Mine didn't ship yet (Ireland) so I canceled it this morning

[Rasbelin]

I don't it's yet the time to cheer,
because no BTEs has still arrived to
customers in Europe or elsewhere
(expect US-Canada). And even if one
British apolytoner has been shipped
a BTE, that doesn't mean that all of
us will receive their copies. At least not yet.

For instance for some reason my
shipment's estimated date of arrival
from Amazon.com has once again been
moved forward with one day to 9.-16.11.
Amazon.com hasn't still replied to a request
for information, that I sent on the behalf
of The BTC hasn't been yet answered.

I'll post more details under the campaign
thread, when more is to be heard.

Until that - join the pro-LE group!

[kittenOFchaos]

Mine shipped last night...it should arrive 5-10 days!
