You would have to pay a bit more for shipping You can always ask Toby (coleco_master) before ordering something off the website So you'll have tracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, on this date and age, even the cheapest service (first class) includes tracking. Why would you want to charge more for a normal service?; And, why would I need to contact you to ask for it? what if my game gets lost? Or why if it was never shipped by mistake? Do you really want to receive mails with questions about status on shipments???? On the other hand, if tracking is a special service, then you should specify it up front, not after the fact. I am sure many will be happy to pay a reasonable cost for this service. Suggestions for improvement should not be taken as negative comments.

I have no idea if my game is coming or not. None of us did, it showing up one day is fine for the majority evidently. Who cares to follow every detail, let something be a surprise like the title itself and don't sweat something so insignificant. We are lucky to have an organized group providing these consistent quality games and now systems. I get annoyed when people drag them down with BS like this and the Core update complaints for fear they will say screw it and move on to something else with their time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+eebuckeye Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I am fine with no tracking especially since it adds cost to shipment from Canada - it is not like shipping from the USPS and shipping from Canada is expensive. Maybe they can add $5 if tracking is required by the member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not personal, it’s business. You can disagree all you want and do not bother lightening tone, I truly do not care about you. I received a reasonable response from @retroillucid They will consider adding an option to request tracking at ordering. It is a not too much, and it can prevent future unnecessary wasteful inquiries, or losses to the business or customer dissatisfaction. Many successful businesses, actually reward their customers for sharing their ideas for improvement.

Let me tell you, when a package gets lost it needs to be insured also otherwise you will be left empty handed. Postal Services will take their hands off and that is quite irritating because this way a package (with tracking) still can easily get stolen and there is nothing you can do about it. And don't bother going to the police....... But I surely would prefer an option for tracking and insurance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 tracking to europe from canada is very expensive. airmail no tracking is around $10 but with tracking >$40 canadian. within canada or to the states USA is reasonable but anything further from canada is cost prohibitive. I've mailed many packages to europe of similar size / weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dutch Colecovision Fan Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I know, it's a risk you have to take. It can save you quite a lot of money. But I can understand you want to have tracking when the secret game is on it's way. When COVID-19 is over I am gonna pick it up ?! By the way, I have added some photo's of the parcel in which the secret game has arrived and survived ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for an additional shipping option is totally reasonable request. It will be an option.....you can always NOT check the box. We all appreciate them for selling us nice games and consoles, they appreciate us for supporting them too.

+Dutch Colecovision Fan Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I am always hungry for new games, but I can't create them myself. I am happy with every developer and support them wherever I can. The only thing I hope for now is that everyone will receive and enjoy his game! Looking forward to 2021 ?

Kiwi Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Collectorvision and Team Pixelboy have done a fantastic job packing the games. So if your box is like that, but the content are safe, it due to the packing material protecting the product. Tracking is about 19-30 dollars if shipping out of Canada if I remember correctly.

+eebuckeye Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Personally I would not be concerned about tracking as I am certain Collectorvision would send a replacement if a game is not received. If someone is willing to pay for the high cost of tracking then I suppose that would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Well actually when I buy games from Pixelboy I get tracked packet for less or the same as what Collectorvision charges and they don't have tracking added. Usually I get three or up to five games at a time from Pixelboy. If they use the same then there would be no extra cost to add tracking.
