$20.00 shipping?

Went to buy the boxed version of Strategic command and they want 20 bucks to ship the boxed version. I get over 100 pounds of dog food shipped to me each month for free but a less than half pound cd in a plastic case costs 20 dollars?

I don't recall shipping ever costing this much. Will other methods of shipping (priority mail is only option available right now) eventually be added or are you trying to force customers to go digital only or something?

Hi johnpham, just checked Amazon.com this morning and they say the game is out of stock nor do they say if it will ever come back in, only Matrix can answer that one.

The reason I brought this to your attention is because I payed $5.99 for the game including free shipping, the game lists at $55.99, if you apply for their credit card you get a $50.00 gift certificate that can be used on the game, not bad HUH! FREE SHIPPING also.

So I guess the question is will Matrix release more of the SC game to Amazon?

I literally went on to Amazon, earlier today because I decided I want to purchase the game and use the 50 dollar Amazon gift card. I'm glad you guys are looking into this??

When will Amazon be restocked so I can use my gift card? Thank you.

Hi, we have sent to Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk a restock order to replenish some products, including Strategic Command.

Amazon.co.uk has been faster and the game is already available there. Amazon.com will follow shortly, I believe.

You have only to wait a bit :-)

Cheers,
Daniele

nickaepi be very careful when you order Strategic command from Amazon, if you have ordered it okay, but I checked again and they say it is not in stock.

I just received a bill from Chase bank which is the lender for Amazon for $104.95, now remember I payed $5.99 for this game. I called Chase and they said I had signed up for prime with Amazon, which cost $104.95, I never agreed to that prime but they said I did not remove the check mark on the app referring to prime, clever of them HUH.

I called Chase and they removed the charge that day and said many other people are complaining about the charge. I then called Amazon and cancelled their credit card after I had paid the $5.99.

The reason for the post is if that you or anyone else on the forums wants to buy the game the way I did be very careful of the little box marked prime leave it unchecked. Just trying to help the players on Matrix.

Guys this text is a cut and paste of a thread I posted in General back when the game released. Think this may be a spam bot.
