According to emails sent by Flipkart to those who pre-ordered their copies, it was supposed to be shipped only later today from Mumbai and will reach them in 1-2 days depending on their location. However, it is being reported that Flipkart has reviewed its decision and will start shipping the game only from tomorrow. We have reached out to Flipkart for their take on the situation.
“Please note that due to publisher regulations we are not permitted to start shipping before the evening of September 16th and since we are going to ship the preorders from Mumbai, you will receive the game along with the freebies that were a part of your order – GTA Double-Sided Poster, Metallic V Locket and Atomic Blimp DLC within 1-2 business days post shipping, depending on your geographical location,” the email reads.
“I usually order from Flipkart because their service has been top notch. It’s odd that they emailed us saying they’ll ship on September 16 and now tell an industry publication that they’re changing their mind. Won’t be long before they blame someone else for this. Lesson learned: I’ll be getting my pre-orders from brick and mortar outlets going forward,” says Rishi Alwani, who works in the video game industry.
“Flipkart’s 180 “review” of the shipping date, is the sole reason why I cancelled all my future preorders. They shouldn’t have sent out an email and made promises, royally managed to mess up the biggest title of the year. Brick-and-mortar has my money from now,” said Vasu Chaturvedi, who also works in the video game industry.
