EA beset by Warhammer pre-order problems?
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

A customer who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of Warhammer Online up to eight months in advance has found his requests to change his shipping address denied and subsequently, when he complained, had his order cancelled by Electronic Arts, according to a report by the Consumerist.

"So it's either cancel my order and don't receive the now sold-out Collector's Edition, or just let it ship to a place I don't live," complained Micah. "It seems there should be some way of contacting the fulfilment agency if you're going to release a pre-sell of a Collector's Edition eight months before the game even comes out." Citing a customer referred to as Micah, EA is said to have sent all its pre-orders to a processing facility outside of their direct control - claiming they can only cancel orders not amend them - consequently any customers who wish to change their details are denied and left with the only option of cancelling their orders for the now sold-out collector's edition.
