Barking Pre-Order (Problems)

[BrotherLovesDub]

Paid for my boxset + vinyl package on July 20th (or 22nd?) and it's not here yet. Is there an official contact to find out if it shipped?

yea - it's looking like my box didn't come either...

(I had it mailed to my parents' place back in the US, b/c I didn't have an address in Glasgow at the time. I just emailed them, and found out that I didn't have any packages in the mail yet...)

(edit)
Just re-checked my email. I have a purchase confirmation from back on July 26th...

Is that from underworldlive or from paypal? Either way it should be fine because they said earlier in the thread that if you received paypal confirmation that that was fine!

[joethelion]

yea - mine was from Paypal

Subject: "Your payment to Smith Hyde Productions"

so maybe it just hasn't arrived yet?

Just got a call from Tower Records (Shibuya, Tokyo Japan) and they said they don't expect the deluxe box set to arrive until early October! It was scheduled to arrive today.
wtf is going on! argggg....

Just got a delivery slip in the door telling me they have a package waiting for me in the local post office. It must be the box set.. seems the wait is over. I guess they were just really really really slow about getting it out to me.

Am I wrong in thinking a pre-order should guarantee an early arrival? Whatever, this has been a horrible experience and now I just hope i have no trouble at the collection office - cant even bring it to my door!

@Dunwho - Still no sign of a delivery to me either - I'll check the postbox when I go home to see if there's a delivery notice. Fingers crossed. It's strange it's taken so long to get from the UK to Ireland though. Regular post normally takes no more than two days to do that!

Well, that's what I thought, too.

Still nothing over here.
This is frustrating.

POSTMAN GO WOOF

Damn.

QFT. For some strange reason I also assumed that ordering from the source more than a month in advance and paying US$14 for shipping would get it to me somewhere in the vicinity of the release date. Silly me.

Just to add to the pile:

Paypal receipt email - July 23
Underworldlive confirmation email - August 24
Delivery of boxset - 9/20!

Seems extra strange that I haven't received it when others in LA have. If it's not here today I'll bug Digital Animal.

Edit: No bugging necessary. A bit late, but mmm sexxy.
