Did you know that the Royal Mail is planning a strike that's scheduled for November 4th, the day before the launch of Call of Duty: Ghosts? With some worried that this could throw a wrench into launch plans for the game, various retailers have stated that this is not the case. Sainsbury’s, GAME, Amazon, The Hut and GameStop have all said that they're exploring alternative delivery options, even if it costs them a pretty penny.

”Whilst a strike isn’t a foregone conclusion, we’re working closely with Royal Mail and other couriers on the situation to make sure our pre-order customers get their orders on release day.” - GAME marketing director Ailsa McKnight
”We’ll use alternative delivery channels to ensure our customers get their games on time.” - GameStop’s Niall Lawlor
”If one of our carriers was unable to provide delivery services, we would employ contingency plans which include routing orders through our other carrier partners.” - Amazon
