thats it i`ve had enough 7 times i`ve ordered with them and 6 times the games are later then they say they will be (usally 7 days)now i wouldn`t mind if it was one or two but 6 times thats it. i always order a game before the holidays so i`ll have sumin to do when it rains. so i ordered the sims on thursday and it still hasn`t come ,ok i know it was easter, but even with that it should be here today. if i went to the shop i`d be playing it right now.

Wots the longest you have had to wait for a game from special reserve.

Shutup Boz! Don't blame SR for the delays, blame the post!!
And which Sims game did you order???
If you ordered the new 'The Sims Vacation' then I think you should know that it's not out untill Friday.

All good things take time, and we all have to be patient and wait for things some time in our lives. But you just seem to have to wait more than others!

Boz, you can't blame Special Reserve for the delivery.

I'm sure you've seen or heard the news over the last few months with Consignia cutting jobs and being caught in loads of problems.

Maybe you should start complaining to them about the delieveries, not Special Reserve.

Well, due to the latest expansion packs 'Hot Date' and 'Vacation', 'The Sims' will start to be selling well again. So it's becoming a more popular, better selling game.

And like The Sims, the games you have ordered from them may have been at very high demand - and top of many people's wanted lists. So this would mean SR need the right no. of stock first of all before they can sell the game.

I'm not sure if this is to do with SR or the mail service but when I order games etc sometimes the boxes are slightly damaged, any one else hd this problem ?

P.S When I received Conkers Bad Fur Day last year I found that the games was an Australian version (it worked fine)!
