here is an email I just recieved from Craig Kelly at gameplay.co.uk. This explains the 1-4 weeks for regular shipping, and the 5-12 days for priority.

Hi

 

All airmail, including priority, is sent at the same time by us. Royal Mail

(the UK postal service) then decide what mail goes on what flight to the US.

The priority service is put on first and will go on the first available

flight. Standard airmail will just go in whatever space is left - this could

be the same flight, or three flights later. The mail is also usually given

priority by overseas services as it is a signature service and must be

signed for.

 

We usually find that priority service is about half the time of standard

airmail, and also has some limited tracking information should the item take

longer than normal.

 

Standard airmail to West Coast USA usually takes 7-20 days. Priority

signature we think should be about 5-12 days.

 

A word of warning though - we've had a few unofficial strikes in the UK by

the postal service. This may delay overseas orders in the post by a few days

longer than normal I'm afraid. Sorry!

 

All the best,

Craig

There you have it- I'm glad I ordered priority!

The prognosis in my e-mail was even worse! It says:

Thank you very much for ordering from us here at gameplay, you should receive your package in None. The release date for is .

That's exactly what my email said. Kinda ticked me off a bit, so I emailed Craig Kelly about the differences between normal and priority shipping, and how long it would take to get to me in California, USA. See my above post for that email.

Ordered on the the 31st October, recieved on the 10th November (today.) It takes four working days for mail from a capital city to reach my remote part of Australia, so that's pretty good. I'm reading the manual currently, might even play the game soon. :P
