I ordered my copy of Doom on Dec. 30th.  One of the recordings I heard
while waiting on the line was that Doom started shipping on Dec. 27th.  I
still don't have mine either.  Has your credit card been billed yet?

	All orderes queued BEFORE December 27th should have been received
by now.  Since you ordered on the 30th, give it a few more days.

That is EXACTLY what happened to me! No if ands or buts, your story is
exactly the same.
 
I did however manage to speak to David @ ID. He assured me that he would
personally take care of me since they had screwed up so badly. Well, that
was on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of December. Nothing was done then and I 
still don't have the registered version of DOOM. I would just like to know
what happened?, nothing more.............. who knows, maybe one day I will
get a present in the mail! Naaaaaahh That won't happen.


The sad thing is that if the order was simply lost and they have no record
whatsoever or my order reguest, then it boils down to my word verus theirs!
At the moment, with ID's track record, I think the courts would be more
inclined to believe me! hehe.......

Here's what happened with Doom (or at least what they told me)

First of all, you probably all know about the bug that caused the Dec. 17
shipping date to be pushed back to the 27th.

Then, according to the recording, all overnight and next-day orders were
accidentally sent first class.

Also, all people who ordered with their Discover card had their orders
bounced by Discover.

All  of  this amounts  to  nothing for  me  though-  I ordered  before
Christmas  to  give as a gift, nothing  by two  days before Christmas.
Called and called the busy signal, faxed a note and (gasp) they called
me back and assured me that I would get it by Christmas.  Needless  to
say,  I gave the shareware  version  as the  Christmas  gift with  the
promise of the registered version soon to come.

Anyway, no disks as of  this  week.   I called yesterday to cancel the
damned thing  (and amazingly, I got through) and it turns out that all
of the  HOURS  that  I tried to  get through between my  order and new
year's amounted to SQUAT because the order company had lost my order

Actually  the IDSoftware people  are really very helpful  once you get
through.  They also promised to switch their order company.

So, if you haven't gotten  yours  yet, check your credit card  company
and if the charge isn't on it, you were probably lost too.

(HINT:  Once  you  do get  through,  press  9  for  customer  service-
otherwise you have to listen to the options forever).
