So I decided to acquire the new PS3 model, along with a couple of games -Assassin's Creed & Army of Two-; I also ordered a Jabra headset for online gaming.

Now; the funny thing is... I chose Free Super Saver Shipping for the PS3 console only, which means that I'll get the games and headset before I can play/use them.

Until now, the console hasn't yet been shipped, but its shipping estimate is tomorrow -October 05-. Whic sucks, because the delivery estimate of the games is on October 06.

Has anyone of you picked or chosen the Free Super Saver Shipping from Amazon.com? If so...what was the longest you had to wait for your items to be delivered?

I was thinking about switching to One-Day shipping but it's too late now; the order can't be cancelled nor changed.:?

It varies, really. But since it's to ship tomorrow, I bet it arrives only a day after your games.

I've never, ever had to wait as long as Amazon says for Free Super Saver Shipping. Everything always arrives a couple of days early (for me, anyway; maybe I'm in a good location). I love it, and I love Amazon.

Amazon shipping is pretty fast. I think the longest I've ever had to wait was like a week and a half. You'll probably get it on Friday.

I really like buying stuff from Amazon too; be it books, electronics, or just plain milk cartons. I was just wondering how long is the average for their free shipping since this is the first time I've chosen the free shipping method and bought directly from Amazon, but after reading a couple of bad Free Super Saver Shipping experiences I was somewhat troubled by the idea that my PS3 could end up at a wrong location; although I've never had have a bad experience with Amazon, except this one time I bought a CHEAP mini screwdriver to fix my wondering PSP joystick and it instantly broke the first time I used it. And I live in Texas; do you think it will take too long for the console to arrive?

Well; the topic isn't about the PS3 itself, and it isn't about discussing games or such. I guess this was created in the appropriate forum.

Ha; yeah... Amazon does ship your stuff fro free if it is "Eligible" and sums up to $35 Canadian Dollars or more. For an item to be eligible; it has be bought directly from Amazon or a partner of Amazon. Like BestBuy and all those companies with known names.

I only buy from Amazon.com, and it's always free super saving shipping when it's available (which is most of the time). It usually takes 6-8 days for me to get what I order.

I always use Super Saver Shipping, because saving money is worth the wait. :P I can't recall how long I've had to wait for things, though - I haven't ordered anything in a while.

Fantastic!!! I just hope the console arrives before Friday; that way I'll be able to rumble the controller for some sweet and long time before getting back to work. Thanks for the info man.

I have ordered with Amazon consistently and very rarely have the products I ordered from their warehouse not arrive a couple days before the delivery estimate. If they shipped today, you will likely see your PS3 by Thursday. Friday if you're a little unlucky.

A couple weeks one or two times, but that's because one or two of the items didn't ship for 1-2 weeks and since they are all packaged together, it slows down the rest of them. When you choose super saver, you get to save quite a bit in shipping costs, but you have to accept the fact that it may not ship as soon as you want it to or when it would normally ship when you pay for it.

I always use free shipping on Amazon and my items usually ship out and arrive quickly, a lot faster than they usually indicate. Sometimes I get my items even before the anticipated ship date. But I can't help but wonder why you wouldn't order them all with the free shipping option. All orders over $25 are eligible for free shipping.

Oh; I only bought the PS3 console directly from Amazon. I bought the games from third party sellers, that's why they weren't eligible for free shipping. I was going to buy those "Real Triggers" for the controller -they were eligible- but I didn't have the enough sum of money to do so. So yeah; only merchandise sold directly from Amazon or certain partners are eligible for free shipping.

With Super Saver Delivery, I've only had to wait about a week. Which is good if you don't mind the wait.

The longest I've had to wait for Amazon to actually ship my stuff was maybe like a week. This was the one oddball occasion though; almost every other time I choose free shipping the items were shipped in a few days.

If you hit free shipping sometimes they'll ship it out the same day as your order, but other times they'll take their time. Its unfortunate.

Doesn't it apply to the whole order? They probably just shipped them out first, even when i select "Group items together" they still end up sending me 4 or 5 packages over the course of a week :lol:

Amazon has been a little iffy. The last thing I ordered, I paid standard shipping (which was like five dollars and 3-5 business days) and it took a full seven days to get here.

So I decided to acquire the new PS3 model, along with a couple of games -Assassin's Creed & Army of Two-; I also ordered a Jabra headset for online gaming.

Now; the funny thing is... I chose Free Super Saver Shipping for the PS3 console only, which means that I'll get the games and headset before I can play/use them.

Until now, the console hasn't yet been shipped, but its shipping estimate is tomorrow -October 05-. Whic sucks, because the delivery estimate of the games is on October 06.

Has anyone of you picked or chosen the Free Super Saver Shipping from Amazon.com? If so...what was the longest you had to wait for your items to be delivered?

I was thinking about switching to One-Day shipping but it's too late now; the order can't be cancelled nor changed.:?

I suppose it is due to the fact that Amazon is an U.S.A. based company. Besides; The States is the biggest consumer in the whole globe; Canadians isn't much into online shopping...are they?

[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"]You got army of 2 and asassins creed over mgs4? oh boy .... anyways welcome to the dark side ;)

I was planning on buying MGS4, but the price stopped me from doing so. And I also read a couple of reviews about how long the cut scenes were and how little gameplay that left you with. But I bought AC and Army of Two mainly because of the high price of MGS4.
