I'm actually not too pissed. I can emphasize with someone who is very short-handed with employees and has a ton of work to do. I used to work for UPS packing trucks for delivery, and we were always short-handed and had to work extremely fast.

I'm going on vacation in 5 days, and I wont be back until around August 15 or 16. We're going to hold our mail with the post office. The day I get back I'm going to go pick up all our mail and if my packages aren't there by then, then I'll contact the store.

I've learned from experience that being pissed off and showing it, never helps your situation. It's okay to be a little mad or disappointed, but yelling at whoever is at fault will probably make matters worse for you. Just be calm and patient.

For example, one time at the airport, the airline lost about half of the people's luggage on the plane. Needless to say, the passengers were pissed and gave hell to the Baggage Claims lady. They were all yelling at her and everything. When it was my turn to report my lost luggage, I told her, "Sorry you have to put up with this, I know it's not your fault that this happened; people can be unruly sometimes." She looked surprised and told me, "Sir, when we deliver your luggage tomorrow, you will be the first one to receive your luggage."

So if you guys must email Bungie, don't yell at them and scold them, simply ask nicely whatever it is you want to ask. After all, there are probably no more than a few people servicing the Bungie store, and all of them have other jobs to do as well. They are very short-handed and extremely unequipped to handle thousands of orders, so it very well may take a while. But they will do whatever they can to satisfy you so long as you talk nicely.

I'm sure Komark is even more pissed about his orders.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Make choices, and don't look back.

I doubt it. The only poster that was restocked was the "I need a weapon" one. The limited and signed ones, they aren't restocking to my knowledge.

This thread needs a "top five" of sorts.

I don't think anyone cares enough to look through every bag, people just want to see the coolest, best swag from these bags, especially after you look at a few pictures and realize most of them are pretty much just the same thing.

I'm thinking about ways to efficiently add more details than just hundreds of links, if there was a way to lift the character space, that would be epic!!! I would totally give a short description of what's inside each bag and would probably highlight notable bags in some way. Sadly, I don't think that's possible.

Instead, I might just have to continue the regular OP on one of my later posts.

Hmm.... I think I just got an idea. It'll take a bit to implement it if it turns out good.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Perhaps you should just add them to your second post, it's not far down and you'll get more characters to use.

Good luck if you do do it, as you said will take some time to implement it.

Also, if you do try to order them, you shouldn't do every single one, only the top few. 10? People wouldn't like seeing their name at the bottom.

Just read your post at the top of the page, completely agree. I think the airport story with the luggage shows it. Being angry won't speed it up after all, and will just put the individual under stress in a situation like that.

When I was emailing Bungie store about cancelling an order, getting close to the delivery date so being worried it would be dispatched, 3 days (inc. final expected shipping) I got worried, so I sent an email once on each of those days, not saying to hurry up, you're doing a terrible job, but that I hope you get this email before you ship it, if so please cancel the order.

Last day of expected delivery, I got an email saying thanks for waiting, we've cancelled the order. The day my Bag of Swag as shipped too, coincidence? xD I was happy.

Just out of curiosity, anyone who is in the UK and has received their bag, did your tracking status update at all after the departure scan?

[Edited on 07.27.2011 9:04 AM PDT]

If you're reading this, congratulations. You've just pressed a button to find out a little bit more about me. Not that you will, but well done anyway.

I haven't recieved mine yet, or I would tell you. Others have said that USPS tracking isn't very good anyway. I hope my stuff arrives soon, its been more than a month since I ordered it.
