Looks like Heavensward is shipping

[Angelicus]

My CE's have been billed, but as of this evening still no Shipping Data.

Getting a bit concerned I'll have the physical items by Early access date, or are they not shipping the boxed editions until the actual release ?

Be a right pain in the arse, if me and the wife have to d/l the files so we can play the early access... along with all the others that will be attempting to get it running at the same time.

Got my email this morning!

Cheers

Still haven't received any notifications. Emailed Customer Service again this morning. It is likely I will be cut off from HW after June27 now because there is no way in hell my CE will make it to our FPO address in that time.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things work out for you.

Judging from the estimated arrival date, they're timing the items to arrive at the release date, not EA date. Even with budget shipping choices, packages do not normally take this long to get to me from TN.

This might be a weird question. I thought they couldn't charge for any ordered item till it went on the truck? So if you haven't noticed a charge then that would mean no ship by default.

I can't speak for the EU/other regions, but in the USA, this is not the case. They can charge you any time (with your consent), so some companies do charge as soon as you complete checkout, even for preorders.

However, for ease of cancellation and to avoid payment processor fees that come with refunds, some merchants choose to only bill once the item begins the shipping process (typically this starts with the order being handed to a warehouse or distribution center rather than being on the truck).
