International Blu-ray deals

re: International Blu-ray deals
I have not received my Warner Hitch (Strangers On a Train etc.) set which has an estimated delivery date of 12/24. It was dispatched December 15. I received other sets with a January estimated delivery so I sent Amazon.uk an e-mail asking them about my missing order and requesting they resend if necessary. I will see how they respond. It was sent royal mail.
Update:
Their response was to wait until January 3, 2013. If package has not been received by then, contact them again by replying to their e-mail.

I just received the Harry Potter blu-ray set yesterday and it was 'supposed' to be here on 12/17... I would give it some more time before anyone starts asking for a replacement shipment.

It took me 23 days to get the limited Hitchcock set from Amazon UK via DHL. I just ordered the Warner set via Zavvi.

Received my order of Universal Monsters today exactly a month after it shipped out on Dec 3rd 2012. Package said Royal Mail - may have been stuck in customs or the Christmas season could have been the reason. also poorly packaged - packing material at the bottom while Bluray case on top was virtually kissing the top part of the box. I sliced the tape with my pocket knife and could have easily sliced the packaging. anyways, great price compared to the US pricing

re: International Blu-ray deals
I think generally, if you want something quickly, Amazon.uk is not the way to go for U.S. customers. But if you're looking for a good deal, don't mind researching region compatibility and don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks, they are pretty freaking great.
I'm dangerously close to dropping an order for
Battlestar Galactica (and selling my Cylon head box)
Back to the Future Trilogy
Toy Story Trilogy
All together, they'd be about $100 shipped.

My order for the Universal Monsters Collection shipped on Dec 27 and arrived Jan 3. I'm pleased with that wait time.

I (in Canada) get orders from amazon UK faster than amazon US, and with significantly lower shipping costs. They usually arrive within a week of shipping.
The worst, for me, is B&N. I'm still waiting for my Criterion sale discs. One order which was shipped about a month ago, the second was just over 3 weeks ago. Ugh!

Everything else is in great shape, so I'm not too worried.

Mine arrived damaged as well. But it wasn't terrible enough for me to want to pay for return shipping... My Hitchcock set arrived mint at least...

Definitely how I feel as well. The dent is substantial and it's on the top of the spine. But when I have it faced out on my shelf, I don't see it. Worries over

Ordered "Westerns Collection" on 01/08/13. Shipped out 01/09/13. It arrived today (01/18/13). Last order I placed from Amazon UK was 12/10 and it took Alien Anthology over 30 days to get to me.

Did the Superman Anthology set go out of print? They had a good deal for quite a while, but now the only option is other sellers, and much higher prices:

Crap, I had been stocking up on Amazon.co.uk giftcards, hoping to cash out on that after I got one or two more. Now I need to figure out something else to order.

Saw the posts, did some research, then bought
Battlestar Galactica Complete Set
I Am Bruce Lee
Les Miserables 25th Anniversary
49.85 pounds. Should come out to around $80 after forex charges, I think. 2 months to wait. Good I'm in no rush

re: International Blu-ray deals
So now my order is 10 days late already from the expected delivery date. Do you think there's hope I'll still get the package? I'm in no rush but do want to get it still. I usually get it close to the delivery date, advised Amazon about it, and has been advised they will refund me instead of replacing the order Very disappointed since I purchase from Amazon UK every now and then. I just wish they have tracking available for their Royal shipments.

re: International Blu-ray deals
Ten days late on a shipment from the UK isn't that late. Packages often get stuck in customs for an extra couple of weeks, if the cargo container it's packed on is singled out. I don't start worrying about a package from Europe unless it has been one month since they first shipped it.

Just last month, I received a package from them that took a month to get to me. And yet I've had packages before that arrived in about a week.

My packages range from 8 days and upwards of 15-18 depending on the item. I have no problem with AUK
I recently bought 6 Thunderbird BR boxed sets for about $45 US. 2 came in 8 days, the other 4 will be here Tuesdayish (14 total days)
