Status: offline 		Hi Guys We have taken down the Orders and Shipping questions forum. We have now installed a Help Desk Service to make sure no one is lost in Email. Please use this service for any questions problems you may be having. Some of you received an Email giving you a login and password. Others have not, we did a limited test run to work out any known bugs. If you recived an login and password from us that either didn't work or does not now. Do not worry you will be getting another oneby Email. I will again post here letting everyone know when its gone out. To access the Help Desk please use the link on the top of this page or just go to http://www.matrixgames.com/helpdesk.asp We seem to have everything just about in order now, so these problems should soon be behind us shortly.

Status: offline 		You might want to post this in the SPWAW section. It might make some of us feel better. I initiated a query through the help desk on my order (got the Wednesday and then was told my name wasn't in the database) but wouldn't have made the query if I had seen this first. I appreciate the efforts you are making to fix and upgrade your service. As I wrote in the SPWAW forum, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to growing pains. I do appreciate how quickly you have given us info on the problems and the changes. Must really be frustrating for you folks. Just get it set up right and we'll all be happy.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the answer Secapra. Not the one I was wanting to hear though? SURELY must be a mistake? I'm expecting something in the range of $11? Even thats a bit steep! Thats the price range that HPS want for their mail postage and I beleieve Chips n Bytes are coming in at something similar? I had a friend in the States send me a CD by post and it cost him $2.50 to mail it to me. I'm not trying to criticise Matrix by the way, because I realise how hard it is to survive economically in a a very specialist hobby. I take it however that you haven't ordered anything from Matrix?

Status: offline 		No.The price for postage is the one quoted when I preordered.I don't think it has much to do with Matrix though.Hopefully it is wrong or I will have to sell another one of the kids!

Then I just checked it now, and it seems the order system has never heard of me. Any idea what's going on? Dave Wall once known to Matrix as dfwall02453@yahoo.com

I know they have my information,2nd day air shipping,etc Only in my mind I see a chinese junk putting along a trip from hong kong to new york and recon units have not yet picked them up...

Status: offline 		AS was stated the games are currently enroute to the fulfilment house, they will not arrive there until the end of this week and will not start shipping to customers until early next week. We are taking this time to make sure the customer database or orders was not screwed up and so are checking each by hand, then sending an email so its a rather laborious process and if get no points for finishing early, as teh disks can't be shipped yet anyway. Don't wait by your mail box yet...Whne you get an email and are in teh store database and you successfully check that your order is "processing" then you check that next week and look fo r it to say "shipped" then you can start looking at mailbox ;) [ June 11, 2001: Message edited by: Paul Vebber ]

Status: offline 		So should I not change my password? I can't, at this time, check my account, but I did get an email receipt on 5/15/01. Is that still a valid receipt? I now know what a heroin addict feels when going through detox. I haven't been able to play SPWAW in over a month, when up until that time, I have been an almost exclusive SP player since '96. So, I feel like I'm being pretty patient, under the circumstances. Look, my hands aren't even shaking.....Wow!!! Look at those little panzergrenadiers running up the wall!!! David Boutwell

Status: offline 		WRT the little discussion about UK shipping prices, I too think they're exhorbitantly steep. I raised the idea a little while ago of having some sort of secure download area for commercial matrix products so that we could pay online and download to the UK, which would save on shipping costs, but I hever heard anything back. I know that such as a system is possible, so how about it matrix, give us Europeans a break? :)

Status: offline 		As I had posted on several other threads, we have explained why the CD's are delayed and that we were emailing folks with instructions as we got the database transferred. If you posted a trouble call on the help desk becasue you did not yet get a confirming email, give us a till the end of this week and we will foolow up on those who did not get an emial. If you do get an email this weekend , or have gotten one and still have an active trouble call in regarding "Where is my CD/Why have I not gotten a confirmation" please note on it that you have gotten an email.

Status: offline 		Hi Jody and everyone else. First I am answering the help desk questions as fast as I can. Second the new store is online and seems to be working well. If you want to place an order feel free to do so. The few problems we are not still having has to do with the our older customers accessing the new store for there old orders placed on the new store. Again the CD are shipping as of Friday and more will go out today and the rest of this week I am sure.

Does this mean we could get low shipment costs to Europe? I thought about buying MC, but as long as the shippemnt is that high I won't do it. Even with the cheapes shipment it would cost about 100DM and thats to much for me. Does someone from Germany have experience in buying MC and could tell my how much Taxes I have to buy?

Status: offline 		I was wondering when the rest of the Mega game will go out? I ordered mine 05/10/01 and still nothing. Since then I've had a HD crash that trashed my email with my order comformation and got a new email address among other things. I tried to log into the store but it won't recognize me, so I can't attempt to track it. Like I can since I don't have the information anymore. I know you guys had trouble with the CD, but I just would like to know when if possible. Mike :confused: :(
