Ordered 29 Aug. Receiving today. Yet, no code...

Jump to Best Response
As per the subject, I got a message from DHL yesterday saying that they are delivering today. Just seen the tweet about "We've now continued to roll out codes in the sequence in which we received your pre-order". So, if 6 June people still haven't received theirs a few seconds ago (posted in other threads), and I'm a 29 August order, what are the chances I'm going to get mine today? I'm getting really bad vibes about all of this...

Chaps, my point below is not to tease those who are still waiting. Just to give everyone a marker on progress. I have now received my code and already had the hardware delivered yesterday. Again, my order date was 29 Aug.

About the same chances as the ones that pre-ordered on June 6. This entire mess seems random. We have people on reddit receiving both code and controller who placed their orders in August.

So I have now received the parcel containing the Stadia. Still, no code. I am really tempted to initiate a return, as this whole thing (the failures in ordered logistics, missing codes, inability to reserve the account tag [because of no code], overpriced games, very limited library, streaming quality concerns, lack of support for any mobile device other than Pixel - shall I continue?) just reeks of impeding failure. I should have learned my lesson with the Ouya and the Vega+...

@fackie think your being a bit hasty there

 

I understand the frustration of not getting a code to play, Google have messed up there. 

 

I'm only a premiere member so won't get mine until end of November, and god knows when I'll get my code :face_with_tears_of_joy:

However, I believe the service is only going to improve in terms of features games prices etc. 

Also the performance issues you mention, not sure what you mean there, as most YouTube reviews say Google stadia actually works really well, just everything else is a shambles right now. But in terms of low latency game streaming, it works, so I've heard :face_with_rolling_eyes::winking_face:

I ordered FE on the 9th June, no code, no FE and no delivery email- obviously I should have waited over a month, at least I would have had the FE arrive by now  loads of people who ordered after me have recieved them !

You should get your activation code after getting the shipping notice. You can contact support via https://support.google.com/stadia but they will likely tell you it may take 3-5 business days and to contact them again if you still haven't received the code by Friday.

Pretty much the same here. Ordered on the 28th, had Stadia delivered today but no code as yet...

So utterly frustrating... There it is, on its box, unable to be used. And I hear you June orders: I would be even more pissed off knowing that me, and August order, actually received it before you guys. How a large corporation can get it so wrong, really baffles me...
