Hey all,
I have just been quoted a ship date of 7 December from Amazon.CA. Is anyone else in Canada seeing a similar delay?

Yikes! I just checked my BestBuy.ca status. See below:
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: November 10, 2015
Free delivery arrives as early as Nov 10.
Might want to shoot Amazon.ca a quick email to get some clarification?
@Ruthven: I already did shoot them an e-mail. They quoted the 7 Dec ship date, but not to fear, they upgraded my shipping for free, so now delivery est. is 9 Dec. Woo!
I'm a little concerned that they've over sold.
@Terash: This is ship date, not est. delivery.
It just seems weird that it's going to take that long get it to you. I don't think I've heard of any other delays like yours. I hope it all works out in the end!
i think they over sold them and beth aggreed to make more but told amazon you have to wait. silly greedy stores nothing new in canada
Is that pure speculation, or did you see anything about amazon overselling?
Bethesda can't just 'make more' Pipboy editions. They don't have their own factory to make them, they have to contract to a factory, who will add the order to their order books and depending on the factories work load, might getting the machinery ready and fulfill Bethesda's order at some point. They won't bump someone else's order for Bethesda.
Where in Canada are you. Maybe they think you are living on Baffin Island and have to hire a dog sled team to deliver it to you.
Are you sure they upgraded your delivery by delaying it some more. Maybe they are waiting until October 23, 2077.
Hopefully they can send it to you closer to November 10th.
Dec 7 definitely does sound like an additional run of the Pipboys. Mainly I just want to know if this is just me, or if it has happened to a bunch of people.
Just me sounds like an Amazon screw up, and I might be SOL.
A bunch of people may be an oversell that is being fixed in a month. Not great, but it happens.
Yeesh, not looking good for Amazon. The rep was super nice and as helpful as he could be, but I'll update once the "specialist team" is done finding out why I (and a "few others") "are not having their pre-order fulfilled". I'm still unclear if that means 'never fulfilled' or 'not fulfilled on time.'
Still waiting on "the specialist team". Man, I hope that it's a bunch of dudes in suits, ties, and ninja masks.
Well Amazon specialist team came through, those magnificent logistical ninjas.
The order now says "Arriving Tuesday" and "Not Shipped", rather than the previous status which was something along the lines of "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered on..."
I'm still holding out for a tracking number before I get too excited, but it looks like they found one to send to me.
Possibly just checking to make sure it is nothing on their end or if it something they can speed it up. I believe Bethesda does not want anyone to wait a full month after the game was released when it was a pre-order.
Sweet. Did you want me send you my customer service discussions so far? Amazon has been quite nice and responsive about the whole situation, but it is very concerning if it was an over-sell. Hopefully it was just an honest supplier delay coupled with a bad automated delivery update system.
@Erzher; didn't say, but they bumped me up to release day shipping (fair trade for 2-3 hours of e-mails and text chat I guess), so I would assume the 10th.
Hopefully you get the game on the 10 or the 9th.
