What timeframe were you promised? Mine was dispatched on the 11th, and is listed due by Jan 5th, 2011.

Was yours pre-ordered when they posted the original release date? If not I doubt you will get the shipping fee refunded. If you did they should give it to you.

I pre-ordered on the 18th of October. They sent it to out on the 13th of December; recieved it on the 21st and they refunded me £3.08 on the 14th. They estimated I would get it on the 24th.

Same here. An item originally slated for delivery on the 13th of December is now given a delivery estimate (with no Tracking info) of Jan 5th, and they can't even offer a shipping credit? Or even a sincere apology? Eh, it's not really that big of a deal, but they should really work on their canned responses not sounding so robotic.

I was given the same delivery date as everyone else in the inital shipping e-mail of January 5th. I e-mailed their customer support and I posted the response earlier in the thread. They promised that the movie would be here by the 20th (which obviously didn't happen). When I e-mailed back like they asked me too, I just asked for a shipping credit. They came back with offering to either refund the whole order or send a second copy out, neither of which would be fair to them.

It would be really nice if mine finally showed up. Is it in sturdy packaging? My nightmare is that it is dinged up when I get it.

I know I pre-ordered mine on 10/19 and I still don't have it.

Not sure if it was brought up, but is the supplement dvd in the set in PAL?

I take you mean their screwed if their player cannot do a PAL to NTSC conversion. Otherwise, if it's region free it can play on any player regardless if the player is locked on region 1.

yeah. I mean most standard dvd players can't do pal just on its own right?

Mine was ordered on the 22nd and dispatched on the 23rd. If I do get it this week should I even post it? Or will it cause a riot? :lol:

Some players can. I remember when I bought the Malata 996 way back when, before I hacked it; I tried a region free PAL DVD and it worked.

I noticed too that on amazons site, the Blu version is sold out already. Although there is that region B locked version is set to come out feb 11

It makes your set a little more special. As I stated earlier; it makes 10,000 not too big a number now. :)

I honestly think that the bluray is being released in a dvd sized box so that Arrow wouldn't have to print up 2 different sized sets of books for the sd-dvd and the br releases. But that's just a guess.

Does anyone know why there isn't a way to track the package? I seem to recall all of my past orders from Amazon have had tracking numbers. Is this the case with all imported items from Amazon.uk?

As far as I know, that seems to be the case with imported orders from them.
