Anyone every order from Vanleest?

[ytsejam]

I placed an order at a retailer in the Netherlands (www.vanleest.nl). I received an email on August 23rd saying my DVD shipped. As of September 4th, no DVD!?!? Has anyone had a similar wait time with this retailer? I have ordered from other foreign retailers such as www.dvdoo.dk in Denmark and www.fbo.com.au in Australia and have gotten the DVDs withing 3-4 days.

Van Leest is part of Free Record Shop (FRS), the largest chain of cd/games/dvd shops in the Netherlands.
I checked their site: nothing mentions international shipping.
The price mentioned for shipping must surely be meant for Dutch orders.
You might be lucky they have shipped your order at all.
International shipping can take up to 6 weeks!

I received this email from Van Leest on the 5th:

the e-mail you received, was automatically generated by the computer in our
warehouse when your order and the payment were accepted. But apparently no
one in the warehouse notified you of the fact that the article got lost,
before it could be shipped. I have shipped another copy of your dvd to you
around september 2nd, so I expect your package to arrive at your place in
just a couple of days. We are sorry for any inconvenience this delay may
have caused you!

Still no DVD, maybe Monday the mailbox will be fruitful!!

I finally received my DVD yesterday. So it took exactly two weeks to arrive.

Is it okay if I find this to be absolutely hilarious?


Dave's not here, man!
