Why would you buy RCT2 over the internet when you have to pay shipping fees along with it?

Just goto a store and find an old copy for $20 or something..shipping probably costs more than the game now [lol]

And also when you get things delivered, there are different delivery options you can choose. I'm sure Real can tell you all about those. Overnight, 2 day..etc

But..if DHL is delivering your package, I wouldn't expect it to ever come..DHL sucks..

Well because it actually rules, that would be my answer anyway. Far better than RCT3 if you ask me, far more character.

RCT3 is terrible, and it's an improvement over RCT1. It's the best version.

agreed. i got the demo of RCT3 and immediately hated it. i think the next tycoon should go back to basics except add some MAJOR improvements (new rides, theming, and more realism) and keep the stuff that's in RCT3. (fireworks, animals, night, and ability to get close and personal) guess we just have to see...
as for buying online, the only things i get online are things not in stores, jeans with MY size (hard to find) and special online deal thingies.

Umm yea. If you had gone with UPS Ground, assuming you live in a decently populated area of the US, its 3-5 days (most likly 3-4).

So, you order it on the 18th. Expect one day to process. Monday is processes. That means it ships out the Tuesday. If you went with UPS Ground, it would have a chance at getting to you by Yesterday if you were lucky, most likly today.

However, if you went with standard USPS mail which is normally 7-10 days regular, there is your problem. Plus with the holiday being over the weekend, alot of companies are giving the day before or day after (Fri or Mon) the holidays to compensate for both Eve and Christmas Day being on the weekend.

Its right on time. You should have chose a faster shipping method OR went to the stores.

UPS sucks! When I ordered my Dell XPS, they delayed my order a week, then on the Friday I was supposed to get it, I tracked my package and it said "Out for shipping"... then they returned it back to their headquarters. I had to call them and say the computer was for home business (which it isn't), and that is was important I got it that same day instead of waiting until the following week.

UPS ROCKS!!! I got my dell in like 4 days and as for Rct2 and 3....@ is the best of the three because i has far more bulding options and actually looks way better when you get an amazing park up and running. RCT3 is also a great game and all of you are just mad because its in 3d and you havn't gotten used to it yet. Or, you have and you just dont like the fact that it wasn't made by chris Sawyer (if thats how his name is spelled). Dont hate just because all your building techniques are still only being applied to RCT2. I love em both but RCT3 is the only one installed because i liek to ride my rides ^_^.

Was it UPS or Dell that delayed it? It is possible. I have had every shipping company in my life mess up at least once.

We ship hundreds of thousands of packages a day all around the world and not even FedEx comes close to the volume we do. I think we do something like 18x more per day than they do. We also have the highest ratio of packages sent where they should vs packages loaded into the wrong truck. Im not telling anyone where to ship, usually past experiences determine that.


Dell actually screwed me. I picked UPS 2nd Day shipping and it went via FedEx. I wouldnt be suprised if Dell screwed something up and it got to UPS late. Dont expect any of the shipping companies to be perfect, there IS a degree of error involved. When you compare the amount of volume we do compared to everyone else, theres no comparison. Im sorry to hear that. I hate hearing about shipments that dont make service date. Considering I worked 14 days of overtime just to make sure stuff made it where it was going the last 2 weeks.
