On the store page, it does say they won't be able to ship the game internationally due to its weight, so maybe a little longer than Monday...
Witcher 3 Preorder Cancelled by Wal-Mart
Back in November I preordered the PC collector's edition from Walmart.com. Gods know why I didn't just preorder from Amazon. Anyways, they cancelled my preorder without warning earlier today citing not receiving items from their supplier.
Is there an issue with shipping the collector's edition? Or just the PC collector's edition? I'm just a little annoyed that they would wait until four days before launch to do this to me, especially when it's been sold out online for the better part of 6 months now.
Wondering if anyone else is having similar issues or other retailers suddenly cancelling preorders on them.

Yup - there seem to have been a lot of cases. I've moved this to the thread concerned so you can see them
Well apparently with the XB1 console pre-orders and the Destiny Ghost Edition pre-orders GAME sent them out the week before but made the courier hold them in the depot until day of release. Which seems awkward, surely they would take up a lot of room in the depot. So there's a chance they will do the same with the CE. What gives me hope though is that both the XB1 and Destiny GE were over £150 which has a different delivery method than orders under £150, so they might not be able to ask Parcel Force to hold them like they did the other couriers. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, while at the same time convincing myself it will arrive before Tuesday.To clarify my position on my CE pre-order. I'm also in the UK and also pre-ordered from GAME, and yes also got it dispatched on Wednesday and yes I'm still waiting for it to arrive.
I got an email on day of dispatch giving me my order number, but not tracking number, and the delivery time was meant to be 1-2 working days (so today I was meant to get it). So I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow, I'm led to believe the game will arrive in a Parcel Force van so keep an eye out for that tomorrow morning!
Pre-order of Wither 3 Wild Hunt collector edition cancelled, why?
I understand if there are only a limited amount to be sold but then why, for what reason did i pre-order it from Walmart of all places several months before the release to just get it cancelled on me 4 days before release making it pretty much impossible for me to get my hands on one from a retail seller unless i spend over 2x the retail price on sites like ebay. The order was cancelled abruptly and now im wondering how the fuck would i be able to get one at this point.

Walmart cancelling preorders of CE...
Thanks so much, walmart, for letting me know 3 days before release that my order, placed 8 months ago on August 2014, has been canceled, due to a lack of stock.
You can take your $10 reward card offering and cram it so far up your arse it tickles your tongue whenever your breath.
I mean to never use your Web store, or your actual store, until the day I met so geriatric I forget this tremendous slight.
CDPR, you guys rock, and I swear you'd have my monetary thanks if I could but give them.
Guess me and the wifey will have to make do with just the 1 CE, 2 GOG Digital + DLC's
Friggin' cacks.

Have any Canadians gotten any shipping notices or anything from EB Games? It's now the long weekend and the game will already be out by the next business day. I will be damn disappointed if I don't get the CE and extremely furious if I don't find that out until post-launch, meaning I can't even get the preorder bonuses if I repurchase the game. I preordered the CE in June!
Damn, I hope Walmart does not shaft me out of the CE. I have been looking forward to this game for ages and have it preordered since February. If Walmart cancels my preorder then I will never shop at Walmart ever again.
It's highly unlikely that there'll be another restock, all that you can really hope for is cancellations, but I think that's also probably too late now as most pre-orders will already have been paid for.
I tried ordering one from Swerige just now. well see if they actually still have them
Well...this is only very indirectly connected to the topic but I thought that some might be intereted in it.
Currently the german post is affected by a strike in some cities and post centers. This might also affect some shipments of orders which were placed at german amazon.de.
I have no info for how long the strike is planned. It is possible that it will be all over on Monday. Until now I have not received a shipping notice from amazon regarding my CE. But usually it takes only 1 day for stuff to arrive at my place so I will only be a little bit worried if I don't have a notice on Monday as well.
