It's not my fault that people live in conditions where there's consistently bad weather. They should come to live in the Southwestern United States where the weather is near perfect all year long.

You might, however, expect them to properly set their expectations when ordering from places with such weather, right?

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

I go to the UK once every couple of years in the summer. Even then the weather can get bad. One summer it didn't go above 65 degrees and it rained every other day. I can only imagine how bad it gets in the winter. Saying that, I'd still be pissed off if I had to wait this long.

I'll start to get testy if 2011 comes around and it still hasn't arrived. I mean folks, it's only about two-and-a-half weeks out from the shipment date (assuming Dec. 11), which occurred right around Christmas and followed an intense patch of weather over there. Amazon UK have built a firm reputation with me over the past two or three years, so I'm willing to throw some patience at 'em -- and to the postal service.

I just finished reading the comic. Is that story canon? What was Kiriyama's backstory in the novel and manga? It's been so long since I've read 'em; I can't recall.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

I just got the most confusing response when I emailed Amazon UK about my order... Keep in mind I was very cordial in the email I sent and I was merely asking when I should expect it at my doorstep (given the ship date of Dec 11th).... I also expressed concern that it was now currently out of stock (which I think is where the email got routed to)

Dear Mr. Lutter,

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

If the availability estimate shown on our website is shown as "usually dispatched within 1-2 business days," or if there is a link for "more buying choices," or "xx used and new", the item is currently available from a third-party seller on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace, or from one of our Featured Merchants only.

To view the sellers for this item, or to purchase from one of these sellers, click the "used & new" link within the blue box toward the upper right of the product detail page. You will see the details and prices on the next page. However, merchants who are featured on the product detail page will have an "Add to Basket" button and their name will be indicated above. Under the availability, a Featured Merchant item will say "Dispatched and sold by (merchant name)."

Therefor, I have requested a refund to your payment card for this purchase in the amount of 15.84 GBP. Refunds usually go through within 2 to 3 business days and you will see this amount credited on your next statement.

On the date the refund is completed, we'll send you an e-mail message confirming the date, amount and payment details. You can see completed refunds when you visit Your Account, after receiving this confirmation e-mail.

To view this refund, click the “Your Account" link at the top of any website page, then click on the yellow button marked "Your Orders".
On the left side of the order you choose, select "View Order Details". Completed returns and refunds will appear at the bottom of the individual order's summary page.

I've also provided some useful information about ordering from third-party sellers below.

Thank you for writing to Amazon.co.uk Marketplace.
Um, okay? I'm fully expecting that this thing is in the mail somewhere. I don't even think they read my email.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

That happened to me too. This is an odd case where a retailer is going WAY above and beyond what could reasonably be expected of them. I almost had to beg them to let me not take advantage of them. Amazon UK has yet to disappoint as a retailer from the things I've imported from them.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

Since I'm still waiting for my Amazon UK blu-ray, I went to my local good video store and just bought it there just in case I don't receive the Amazon UK one. And then if I finally get the other delayed one ever in my hands, I will be happy to trade one of them (for the Watchmen Ultimate Cut blu-ray).

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

Just got mine today, 10 days after the expected arrival date. I wondered what it was at first, though, as I'd forgotten even ordering it.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

I only ordered one copy, but I've received one a day for the past 2 weeks. I wish they would stop clogging up my mailbox with this shit. Those of you that haven't got a copy yet are lucky.

I kinda wish that was true just to see the pics and the outrage coming from myself and others.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

Just got mine up here in Canada. Pretty slick looking set. When it first arrived I thought they had messed up my order and sent me a full blown boxset of another movie.

Can't wait to check it out tonight.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

Since I can't track my item what does Amazon do if it doesn't show up by the 5th? Would they refund me my money or tell me to wait longer to see if it comes?

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

Just a warning...be careful when removing the shrink wrap. Mine was attached to the box a little too snuggly and when I removed the wrap it actually made a small tear to the shell.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

I doubt it means much, but Battle Royale isn't in stock at Amazon.co.uk this second. Nothing new today, the mail didn't bring my copy, but a package vanished from tracking that I shipped off a week ago in the meantime. They gave a resounding derp to ease my mind.

My friend said he ordered it yesterday from HMV and it shipped today. Said he paid 16.99 pounds for it.

That's a better deal than Arrow's site. It's freakin' $50 there. What a rip.

Me to. I live about 20 minutes from DC and about 45 minutes from Baltimore and still haven't received mine either.

Still nothing for me, and Amazon shot down my request for a shipping refund.

Re: Battle Royale (Arrow Releasing)--October 2010?

I really don't understand what's the problem - the disc was dispatched to me, where's is my disc? still at customs, somewhere in the US mail twilight zone (during the holiday season) - this is just ridiculous ??
