Alright heres my story(Shortened,So grammar will be impaired ),I asked mum to order vulcan,she says tomorrow,Next day vulcans sold out,looked on target-Preorder arrive 9/17,Don't like it,Order from Wal-Mart.com Free shipping and Arrive "ON OR AROUND 8/18", Alright I'll start talking normally.
It is now the 20th,And hasn't showed yet. I was wondering If anyone else has Ordered from Wal-mart.com and if so, you got your package on time.
When I think On or around 8/18 I think 8/17,8/18, or 8/19. Am I wrong to think this?
Also, The wal-mart got vulcans in stock 8/17 I'm thinking about canceling the order and buying from wal-mart. But My mum says I should just wait it out, I figure It's my money right?
Also, Its about 4:30 What time would you suppose a package such as this arrive?
B) Alright Thanks in advance.

So it's like a day later than you expected...

OMG! Your package must have been stolen by one of the mailmen!!11!!!

Seriously, just wait a couple more days. If it's more than 4-7 days late, then freak out. But really, a day late, and you had to post a topic about it?

It's not like that. I put lube on it and its the same. Its just stuck. And when I cock it back it goes farther back then usual. Also I push as hard as I can and it wont go back in. I've tried the methods and they wont work. Also pics are up.

Not really, But I figured it was a common problem and I was wondering HOW common.
The reason I say it's common is When i brought this up to my friends and fellow nerfers at wars they say they have had the same problem but with 2-4 weeks late.(Paid Priority Shipping too)
So I was just saying If it's way to common through-out the haven/community I'd cancel it.

Yeah it's very common. And it's probably because 8/18 was a Monday, and things didn't get done over the weekend. Really, Wal-mart has no control over the post office and how quickly they move.

What's really uncommon is thinking that you're going to get it in September, and instead ending up with one of the very first ones to leave the factory. B) :lol:

Don't start freaking out until it gets to be around 2 weeks, because my brother ordered a game, and it didn't arrive til 2 weeks later.... got lost in the mail I think. Usually you get some kind of a tracker code that will tell you where its at and when it should be delivered.

Big freakin' deal.
Hasbro itself has been having stocking issues because of their factory in China not delivering on time for a wide variety of items. In mid March I ordered 6 Longshot clips which were marked as "IN STOCK" at hasbrotoyshop.com.
I wait two weeks and check up on my order to find that what I ordered was not "IN STOCK" when I ordered them even though their system told me they were. Turns out they only have TWO of them left in their inventory and hadn't bothered to make a follow-up order until just after I had placed my order.
I was put on back order and I didn't receive the item I had ordered until July 16th. This was after their "Delivery date" change three times from April 6th, to April 30th, to May 15th.
That sets my personal slow delivery record of almost 5 months.

Wal-Mart is only giving you a delivery estimate. If you want to know when something is actually going to be delivered you will need a tracking #.

I ordered a Vulcan from Amazon.com. They said that I would have it 2 weeks ago. A few days ago I get a notice that it has been delayed 2 Months.

I have long since found a Vulcan at target and bought it. If I ever find another one, I will buy it and cancel the order. (yes I want 2 vulcans. I supply guns for everyone I nerf with...)

My advice: You probably won't get that thing until late September. Keep looking at stores, and if you see one, buy it and cancel the order. Otherwise, just wait it out.

My friend had a bad experience with walmart. He got a double magstrike and double nightfinder pack. For 60 (or something) it was a pretty good deal. Then they didnt send him the nightfinders... His mom called, and they acted like the nightfinders just weren't part of it. They got part of their money back, but with the increased shipping, it made them just as expensive as two magstrike.
