Noticed this one last week..

Was seriously toying with cancelling my Flatout order this morning. Last friday SimplyGames's "outstanding orders" page showed my orders, and a nice little button that said "If you wish to cancel this order, click here"

So this morning I finally gave up on getting my copy of flatout and went to try and cancel the order...

I get there, and voila, cancel order button has mysteriously disappeared...!

Normally I trust this lot to get stuff to me on time but I really want to play Flatout, I don't want to have to go through the faff of phoning them to cancel that, and my other outstanding orders...so what gives! Anyone else have this sorta thing happen?

I don't know about Simplygames, but usually a disappearing "cancel" button means it has been dispatched, no?

Nah all three orders say "in progress" still (GRR)

And if they'd already despatched my copies of Half Life 2 and Halo 2 don't you think I'd be leaping around making strange gurgling noises?

i've cancelled orders with Simply by email before, they usually respond pretty quickly.

Hmmm I've politely emailed to ask "where's the game" - see what happens...

....So what happened?

I also had the problem of not being able to cancel my GTA:SA/PSTwo bundle order on their site, but it took a 2 minute phonecall to them to cancel it.
