sure it will cost x dollars and all we need is an original order number, we never hear back.
I bought my copy straight through Shrapnel and you guys probably still have my records. But if you ask me for the original order number now I frankly don't have a clue where to find it. Delivery slips and invoices for games didn't get kept long, especially if the game has been proven to work on my computer. You brought up something that I've never thought of and from now on I'll keep the slips permanently. I'm not suggesting anything, nor did I ever try to get a second copy of the manual (anybody found it useful at all?!?), just trying to put that straight in case those people are innocent...
Now on to what I'm trying to say. What if the CD I send get lost in the mail system? I will be left without a rebate, and that means I will be spending FOUR times the money for ONE single game. (compared to an off-the-shelf game here in Australia; SEIV + SEIV Gold = 2 titles but still the same game with 2 sets of shipping and credit card charges; and a title bought from Shrapnel costs approximately twice as much as a brand new game from the local shop)
I don't trust the mail system after a certain not-very-happy incident.
And before you start flaming at me, yes I know I'm don't have any useful solutions, I'm just trying to bring up all the potential problems before things are set in stone.
