WHY WAS MY ORDER DELAYED?
While we do our best to adhere to our delivery estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers. Occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply, delays during shipping, or changes in release dates for new products will add time to our original delivery estimate.
Sincerely,
Customer Service Department
Unfortunately, us Metal Gear fans must now wait two more weeks to get our hands on this game. Time to switch to release date shipping.
