Tails 6,692 Posted April 23, 2013 So I plan to buy Fire Emblem: Awakening via Amazon now that i have some money in my pocket. And there's a few questions I would like to ask about it. 1. Does Amazon use free shipping? 2. How do you pre-order games off Amazon? I know this is probably a stupid question but this is my first time using Amazon for buying a game.

SinHeartlessAngel 555 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Amazon has free shipping if you order over a certain amout of dollars total. but i have no clue about pre-orders. This is from personal experience, it may be different for others, but thats how its been with me every time.

Oishii 3,987 Posted April 23, 2013 There is a super-saver free shipping that is 4-8 days or something, but mine always come in 3-4 days with that. To pre-order, you just go to the pre-order page and buy it like you would a normal item. The money for the pre-order won't be charged until it is shipped.

FireRubies1 1,325 Posted April 23, 2013 I think you can get the Super Shipper Saving if your item is over $20 And when you're on the item checkout it'll show up as a shipping option Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SinHeartlessAngel 555 Posted April 23, 2013 How do i get the super-saver free shipping? What do you mean by over a certain amount of dollars? Like, if your order exceeds a certain amount of money, they will give you free shipping. thats what happens when i order enough things on amazon. but i also order over 100$ worth of stuff. so .

Geralt 4,874 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Amazon has some deals like "spend over $20.00 on an order and get free fast shipping on all items!" They always got that going on and pre-ordering it's like any other site just go to the page, order it, and it'll ship when it releases Edited April 23, 2013 by Rainbow Dash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben G 166 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Okay, thanks for that info. I'll be sure to keep that in mind You're welcome I've ordered/pre-ordered lots of stuff from Amazon and standard shipping is always free no matter how much it cost Sorry I was wrong http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468636 Edited April 23, 2013 by Ben Guinan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amon 4,279 Posted April 23, 2013 There is free shipping on certain items, but keep in mind delivery will be around 7-8 business days, which is about a week and a half. WIth amazon for a pre-order all you need to do is buy it before the release date and presto, you got your pre-order. I think you have to pay a small fee to have it delivered on release day though.

Okay thanks Amon. I just bought Fire Emblem: Awakening off of Amazon now and it will be here by Friday. Can't wait to play this game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSGoten 59 Posted April 23, 2013 I'm pretty sure they have free shipping, considering I got my Blur-Ray Dark Knight trilogy for free shipping. Odd thing was, it said it would deliver the week after release, but I got it on a Friday, and it came out on a Tuesday. I think this next part will answer your second question; I orded it 3 months before it released, got a confirmation e-mail, did my waiting, 12 YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!, and got it before what I was expecting with my free shipping, as I've mentioned. Hope this helps! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
