The download code was sent to me in an e-mail. They basically just apologised for the delay and did it as a good will gesture. I hadn't sent them any emails prior to that. Hmm strange that not all people affected got this.
So Yodel finally delivered the parcel at 11:04AM this morning although they didn't think to ring the doorbell! Got a text from them saying it had been delivered to a neighbour even though it was sitting in the front porch. Abysmal service from them. I can't think for the life of me why Nintendo use them as their courier - presumably very cheap. Will just put people off using them in future for pre-orders, certainly me anyway.
Wasn't all bad though as Nintendo did give me a free download code yesterday evening to download a digital copy of the game so I was able to play it last night as it happened anyway. Nice of Nintendo, but shouldn't have to do that in the first place. Hope you other guys having trouble get yours today as well.
