SE IV is available at Compusmart

I'm trying to find the game here in Canada and was told by someone on the board (I think it might even have been a Shrapnel employee) that the game is available from compusmart.com.

It isn't. Shrapnel, if you've got some sort of arrangement with them, you may want to call them and get this straightened out.

Here is the text of compusmart.com's reply to me:

Dear S.,

Actually you might want to complain and ask them to carry it.

I have asked them too, but they haven't as of yet. However the local stores should have it.

Is it not possible for Canadians to just buy the game direct from shrapnel?

I thought shrapnel sold worldwide...

We do, he's trying to save on shipping.

Chips and Bits is another option..

Unfortunately, no dice on the local stores either.

They have it, in fact we shipped them new copies Last week.

Whoever your talking to is misinformed.

Maybe the game is too good, and they kept all the copies for themselves

Silent Sorrow · #8 May 17th, 2002, 09:03 PM

They're telling me they don't even have it "listed in their computer system." As in, it's never even been stocked in the first place. Maybe it will show up in a few days?

Is the game still on backorder if I order from your site direct? (Was on backorder Last time I checked.)

Hmm, I just called them again, explained the developer's story, and they're quite emphatic that the game is simply not carried by them (after checking their computer system for reguakr publishers and independents). This is weird. We're talking about the same retailer, right? Compusmart.com in Canada, right?

It's the Edmonton store who bought from us. Here is the URL for the Online area of their store:
