No, Mike2 - there are no tracking numbers when you order internationally from Amazon.co.uk.

I'm wondering how the tracking number works with amazon. When I copied and pasted my tracking number from amazon (for a different purchase) into UPS, it doesn't recognize it as a valid number. Also, my shipment is taking longer now that I've actually paid for shipping than when I go with FREE shipping. That's kind of frustrating.

So is the amazon tracking number limited to amazon only and not an actual UPS number? If that's so, there's no real way to track it anyway is there?

Any tracking number you receiver from Amazon UK will almost certainly not be a UPS tracking #.

If you went with their standard Air Mail option, they may have put a Royal Mail tracking # on it. If that's what happened, the number *might* be traceable once it hits the USPS system domestically, but that can vary.

I will say I've ordered from Amazon UK about 20-30 times in the past few years, and I've never had a package not arrive. They usually show up within a calendar week from the time of shipment. Depending on where you are in the US, it could take more or less time.

If you're talking about domestic Amazon.com tracking, remember UPS tracking numbers typically start with 1Z. USPS numbers are usually al numeric and at least 20 digits long. Fedex and DHL numbers are usually all numeric but maybe only 9-10 digits.

I got another one....Royal Mail....does that convert to USPS? As in...when it hits the states, will it be coming that way or ups etc.?

See my post right before yours.

Got it today! Fantastic PQ. I noticed my ps3 was playing it in Dolby and not TrueHD....you have to go to the languages/settings and select it on Dolby TrueHD. I've noticed that many of the WB titles don't have a title menu aka movie just starts playing. I don't have a problem with it. Steel Book looks superb! Highly Recommended.

Yeah, Warner doesn't tie their TrueHD and DD tracks together like other studios, so it has to be selected. I hope they change that, especially since their movies just start with no menu.

My Sweeney Todd was estimated to be delivered on June 10th. I still haven't gotten anything, and I've never gotten anything from amazon as late as the estimated delivery date. I always get it earlier. Should I be concerned?

No worries. My Almost Famous from Amazon.UK never showed up. They sent me a new copy, no questions asked.

I picked one up on eBay today for fifty bucks. I hope this is worth it!

Okay. I got tired of waiting for eBay and ended up ordering from Amazon.co.uk instead. Hey at least I get bonus points on my Amazon card! Now the waiting begins...

You didn't find one on eBay? I wanted to order on the UK Amazon page, but I wasn't crazy about the international mail.

Mine came from Amazon.uk in a few days. The disc is absolutely magnificent. So glad I got it.

Your Amazon UK card that is. I don't think you get the extra points with Amazon affiliates.

Way to burst my bubble...

(At least I get one point per dollar!)

A few. Two were the Australian version, but the other two were this version. Do a search on Sweeney Todd Blu-ray. The shipping on the one I was bidding on was only $5.50.

yeah, isn't that a kicker - known this fact for awhile since I purchase CD's from amazon.co.uk on a regular basis

I want this so badly, but for some reason, I cannot bring myself to pay $41.00 for it! Please, Paramount, release this in the states!!

Well when they do, you can always decide if the amount of extra features Paramount's dropped in their release warrants spending the additional $$$. Of course, I expect that they will have a greatly inferior release and would rather have this one now (especially considering the exchange rate for the US Dollar could make this release even more expensive by the time the Paramount specs are announced).

if it's an incentive, the eventual US edition WONT be the unrated cut that this version is. (it's a smidgen of more gore, but at least it's not the MPAA approved R-rated cut)

I can't believe I spent $40 on ONE DVD. Worth every penny, though. I'm a few minutes in and the picture quality is amazing.

It came with the steel bent to hell along the spine so I'll be contacting Amazon for a replacement. The disc was loose but I couldn't see any scratches (although I'll be looking again under a better light, and there was a dust particle stuck to it (couldn't blow it away)).

As an aside, everything light looks wonderful on the PS3 but I get a lot of grain sometimes with darks... i.e. in the first scene where we see the sky (before the boat) there's a ton of grain that falls away to the sides... is it supposed to be that way? Backgrounds sometimes are very grainy. I.e. when he enters the pie show and we get a shot of him at the door, the background has a lot of grain.

even the DLP digital theatrical presentation had the 'grain' look.

I finally got mine today. Haven't had a chance to look at it, but I can't wait to pop it in tonight. Some friends of mine and I are going to have a Blu-ray Sweeney Todd viewing party. We all went together to see it in the theater, and we all watched it together on DVD. This time, with the Blu-ray, we're going to cook beef pot pies (meat pies) and bloody mary's.

alot of people are turning this film into the new age, 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'

Is this confirmed somewhere that this is an unrated cut with "a smidgen of more gore"? I had not heard that. That would be a nice little bonus.

I popped this in for just a few minutes last night. I didn't get home till after 1 a.m. and had to be up again at 7:00 a.m., so I didn't get to spend much time with it, but after reading all the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. I can truthfully say that those expectations were greatly exceeded. This is a beautiful picture.

Okay, I'm about to bite, but I have a question: why isn't the VAT coming off of the Amazon.co.uk price? I'm not buying through a secondary source, so shouldn't this be deducted from the cost?
