Beat me to it. I was just about to post this.

Maybe a good deal to tell friends of yours that are curious about Underworld

As much as I want it to arrive, it is also making each afternoon just a little bit more exciting as I drive past the front door on the way home, looking to see if Mr Postman has left me anything. :)

Glad to hear I'm not the only one waiting. This is a little frustrating though. I feel like the Oblivion With Bells preorder was at my house the day it was released.

i dont mind waiting. I DON'T like not receiving an email saying that my order has shipped.

Who do we contact to find out if our UnderworldLive.com order was shipped?

To be honest, there are certain standards regarding internet shopping these days: Confirmation pages at the time of purchase, emails after purchase, emails when an order has shipped, etc. UWLive doesn't follow all of these and it leads to semi-worried patrons. Now I accept that my order may not have shipped until launch date. Thats the price I pay for ordering direct from the artist rather than a megastore. But what I don't like is radio silence once the launch date has come and gone. Its not reassuring at all, especially in the wake of the ordering fiasco where we were all promised, "if you got a Paypal conf. then we got your order."

yes, that's quite an issue. as everybody and their mothers must know by now, i also had the same problem as you, and even if andy from digital animal confirmed that my order was placed and paid, i'm still pretty worried. spooky told me that he didn't recieve a shipping mail and it seems that everybody else that recieved their boxsets neither have.

i paid around 8quid for the shipping. don't know if i paid express shipping or something, but there's not even a tracking number. last time i ordered something as large as a boxset, it took two months (!) and it was dispatched by a truck. so then, i'm not only fearing that my order wasn't placed, i'm worried about losing it in customs too.

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Clearly I should have ordered from Amazon (faster+tracking) or Om (cheaper) (and faster?) instead of underworldlive. :|

Ah well, live and learn.

yeah me too, i sent an email back saying that in the long view it doesnt really matter but it's pretty annoying how they said "shipping out september 14th!!!" only to be told it'll be a week later after actually placing the order.

ah well

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Hello Lovelies -

I thought it was time we posted something about the various shipping issues we're reading a bit about here.

The first thing to say is, while we do our best to keep an eye on the standards our partners adhere to around the world, you'll appreciate I'm sure there's a lot of them and only so much we can do. For example, we do know HMV in the UK had issues and that that was due to a technical error at their supplier's warehouse. We worked with HMV and the distributor to work this out as quickly as possible and it is our understanding they have now shipped their orders.

In addition, the special package is a complex piece of work in production terms - and it took a long time to put together. As a result, we were all rather later receiving stock from the factory that we had hoped.

The second thing to say is THANK YOU. We've been overwhelmed by the response to the pre-order on underworldlive.com. Our expectations were very low as we thought people would be drawn to local retailers. How wrong we were. As a result, we have (as you may have noticed) had to re-order stock a couple of times over the last few weeks and that has given us a small supply issue. As of today, all orders received by underworldlive.com on or before September 1st have been shipped. We aim to have the rest out in the postal system by Tuesday next week and beyond that anticipate most orders shipping within 2 working days.

We also acknowledge that it's not ideal that you've not been receiving "your order has been dispatched" notifications from us. We are working to address this for the future.

So that's it for now. Thank you friends - for your support and patience and general all round diry-ness.

We hope you enjoy the album, the special package and the shows....which reminds me....we have a show to put on here in London tonight. Must go open the doors :-)

Thanks for the post chimp. It has set my mind at ease as I'm patiently awaiting my box. R & K are an amazing duo and I'm happy to support by buying direct!!! :cool:

And it looks like Om Records just received their Box Sets today. Here's hoping they can ship them out tomorrow.

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
awww, thanks chimp for the detailed info ;)

while i'm still barkingless (my regular edition hasn't arrived to santiago yet and boxset must be in a mail deposit somewhere in the world), i'm enjoying what i've heard so far. can't wait to have those two on my hands.

saintrik 09-17-2010 01:32 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Just received word from Om Records that my box set has shipped, along with this pleasant little message...

Quote:

Thank you for your pre-order of Underworld Limited Edition Box Set. As a thank you for pre-ordering so early, we threw in an insert for you autographed by Underworld themselves!

Thanks again for the continued support.

- The Om Team
Thanks Om... Much appreciated!

dubman 09-17-2010 05:12 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
my best guess is that OM got their hands on some of the numbered/signed prints, and you and i were lucky enough to snag them.

works for me!

the mongoose 09-17-2010 06:26 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Fucking GREAT!!!! OM is $20 cheaper and gets the signed art print? Total shitsuck!!!!

What the mother fuck did I pay the extra $$$ for to UWlive? The hassle and waiting, not even sure if anything was fucking mailed out or not?!? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


Man what a huge nightmare!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

yeah it's fabulous! i waited longer than everyone else, got it for cheaper, and now it's signed. you suck, underworld hates you, and you just shit your pants. today has been great.

saintrik 09-18-2010 02:33 AM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Hold on... They did not say a signed art print, and that's not what I am expecting...

I think it's going to be a signed CD insert. Remember Om was offering signed CDs for initial orders.

I still think a signed Tomato art print is worth the extra cheddar and am disappointed that Om didn't have there still-non-existant bundle offers posted before the UWLive store sold out.

yeah i'm pretty much guessing here, but it seems most likely considering it's an "insert" and the signed thing OM was offering were for signed CDs. what else is going to be "inserted" in there for the early birds only if not some of the copies UWLive were selling and passed on to OM

i mean i wont be disappointed if it isnt but it's funny to see mongoose go into paroxysms like this.

saintrik 09-18-2010 12:53 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
My Om Records shipment arrived this morning... The box set is a beautiful thing indeed.

And yes, the signed insert is a standard CD front insert, signed by Rick and Karl. If someone would like to trade it for a numbered Tomato art print, I might consider it. :)

would they?

Still waiting for my Limited Edition Box Set + print ordered from UWLive the day it posted for sale. I received a receipt via email a while back so I'll just have to be patient. (Waiting here in NY.)

I've promised myself not to listen to the digital download until I can hold the real thing in my hands. I hope I'm not the only one holding off!

Hm... Potatobroth has me worried now. Anyone know who to contact (email/phone/forum) to check the shipping status of an order?

Yeah, me too. Ordered on Sept 3rd. Still no sign.
Living in Ireland. :confused:

Sweet. Order arrived today.

Maybe I should have posted here sooner ...!!

Same here -- My copy arrived last night at long last! I'll post a pic of my numbered edition to the proper thread.

Really getting angry (slowly).

No box-set, no email, no reply. And it is not just me.

I normally would expect preordered and PREPAYED products delivered a bit earlier than the official release - not the other way round.

That really sucks.

Dirty Canuck 09-29-2010 11:55 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Got an email from Amazon Canada that my box set is delayed and should ship between Oct. 18 and Nov. 21. Nice. :rolleyes:

fansincefreur 09-30-2010 01:12 PM

Re: Barking Information and Ordering
 
Boxset arrived today - looks great! Worth the waiting...

Unfortunately the numbered print was missing.
