Hey everyone out there!

Just wanted to pass on some info about our shipping process that may help.

We use a software packing company to ship our games for us. They are working as hard as they can to ship out quite a large number (thousands) of games. The packages are being shipped out of their warehouse near Cincinnati, Ohio. They use USPS Priority Mail which takes 2-3 business days to most US locations. International packages are being sent via International First Class mail, which can take 1-2 weeks to arrive.

We are asking for your patience. We cannot pinpoint when packages are shipping for pending orders, but rest assured that we are sending your information to our partner on a daily basis as orders come in. The date your orders leave the warehouse becomes available to us after shipment is completed.

As you can imagine, we have been flooded with emails asking "where's my game". If you have sent an email to sales@stardock.com, we are working through them as fast as we can. Sometimes we have to give a generic response because our shipping company has your information and is processing the order, but cannot provide a specific date when your game will be shipped. We do know that games have begun to arrive on doorsteps on Friday and Monday.

I wish we had the manpower and resources to ship as quickly as larger entities like Amazon. Believe me, I love it when they ship out my stuff before it actually comes out so I get it on the release date! This is definitely a learning experience for us and we are watching how this pans out very carefully.

I hope most of you have downloaded the game and are already enjoying it. If you haven't received any registration information and believe this is in error, you can always pop your email address into the form at https://www.stardock.com/support/ to get it straightaway.

Again, please be patient with us, we are doing the best we can! Back to email I go...

Melissa and Kim

Why not just buy it at the store?

Finally put my hands on the Retail box today... 2 weeks to the sunny Spain. Thank you!.

P.s - the registartion page states that...However, we have not detected a registration for the game under this account. If you have registered your copy of the game with a different account please logoff and re-logon using the account under which you have registered the game. Even thopugh I have recieved a confirmation email from paypal at that address and am registered at the same address.


I had the same issue, and I mailed them (sales@stardock.com). In 10 seconds (I really thought :"wow, the guy must be with the mail program opened and in front of his eyes"), I had a polite response saying "try now, it's all right". And it was. Thank you again Stardock.

Hi I've waited 4 weeks now for my copy to arrive in the UK, is this normal? Very frustrating waiting for it. Yes I have the downloaded copy, but I would like the disc for an upcoming Vista reinstall rather than install Stardock Central again.

If your box is late in arriving, you can contact sales@stardock.com to make sure that it's shipped at least.

Yep, tried that yesterday, so far no reply! I've got to admit I'm now a little disappointed especially after reading plenty of praise for the Stardock team! No disc and no reply! Hopefully someone will respond soon. Is there a number I can call ?

I payed way more than I should have for the shipping of my sins of a solar empire game from this website. I clicked qty:3 and changed it back to qty:1 but the shipping still stuck. I made the mistake of clicking pay... now I have payed $70 for a Normal sins game but payed as more than the collectors ed. costs at regular stores. This website is really glitchy too.. Please tell me how to get a refund of 10-15 dollars because I payed 20 for shipping

I ordered the game last Sunday or on Mothers day.

I have sent 2 emails so far(sent them 2 days ago) to the company and have not received a reply. I have the order number, receipt.. everything. payed by paypal.

What address did you send them to (sales, support)? Also bear in mind the office is closed over the weekend. If your message was recieved, you should have a reply by this posting, or sometime today.

They responded to my email and refunded me the 10 dollars.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im looking forward to playing sins!

I have just had an email from Game retail store stating the UK release has been postponed until 13 June.

That'd be the official UK retail release. Anyone ordering direct can still have it shipped before then.

Gah. I should have searched the forums for this before emailing Stardock Support. I feel so ashamed now.

On that note, I can agree with WhiteShadowOZ. The Collectors Edition looks even better than the stock image Stardock uses. What a beaut!

This is getting ridiculous now.

I ordered this game over a year ago, around the time of beta 2. That was september, october 2007. Its now almost september 2008 and still i have not recived my copy of the game. Is it ever going to come. Have i just been forgotten about. I have sent multiple emails to stardock sales, the replies of which have all been an automated responce saying nothing very useful. Please help me because i would like to recive what i have payed for.

Are you sure you ordered the boxed version, or just the digital download?
