yep. that's what I figured I would do too. btw, mines shipped last night from layoyo.com as always they came through although I would have liked it a little sooner since i will be going on vacation on tuesday. come on UPS.

Yahooo!!! Mine shipped as well today. How long will the shipping take from Layoyo? I never ordered there before.

like 3 days if you did the carier thing and live in the US. (at least is 3 or 4 days for me in PA)

Has anyone received a shipping notice from HKFLIX yet?
I pre-ordered from them earlier this week for $99.95 w/ free shipping.
They just raised the price this afternoon to $129.95 so I am asssuming they have them in stock now.

Thanks

I just received a Fedex pre-shipment notice from HKflix:

Shipped Date.................: 12/15/2004
Estimated Delivery Date......: 12/21/2004

I ordered on November 13th.

Just a quick note, we (hkflix) are shipping these out as we receive them, a few at a time. Everyone who pre-ordered a copy should be guaranteed to receive one, it's just that they're coming to us a few at a time, presumably due to some delays at the manufacturer's end. But rest assured they are being shipped out as they arrive.

Mine was shipped from CD-WOW on the 9th..... so hopefully should arrive any day now :)

what about name engravings? does this mean we didn't get name engravings(if we requested them)?

and also, are you guys packing them properly so they won't be damaged(also you're not just cramming the calendar and poster in the box are you?

sorry but i'm really freaking out over this :(

My understanding is that the engraved ones will be arriving in 1-2 weeks. They require special attention during manufacturing and shipping so I guess that's why... The sets are being packed in styro peanuts and/or bubble wrap inside a larger box. And all FedEx shiments are insured against damage.

Layoyo sent me the calendar and posters in a separate shipment today... don't have the set yet though.

Wouldn't you know it, here I am waiting to receive my shipment in the mail, when I walk into a shop in my local Chinatown that never carries deluxe box sets, and sure enough there's the massive Infernal Affairs Trilogy box for $99.95, the same price I paid HKFlix.

Would you mind telling me what shop in Chinatown?

OHH MY GOD!
Its amazing! its up there with the Japanese HERO set!
its THAT GOOD!

I wasnt expecting anything as georgous as this beast!
The box is nice, then you open it up and insides the black sleek beast, beleve me the pics dont show any of it at all, its all that and more.

My Black Sleek inner case doesnt look like this :( mine is black wording not silver, or is this just the flash lighting up this pic? as mines 100% black and shiney.

I think it's just the flash... they're all the same. Mine is like yours also - hold it up to the light and you can see through it.

i'm thankful to the guy who posted his pics when he received his angolz.com order. i also ordered from them, but haven't heard of them before. from what i've read here, they were a reliable source, can't wait to get mine!!! (so they shipped the poster and calender separate from the case?)

Assuming you're in Boston, it was Kneeland Electronics, on Kneeland St. not far from the bus station. They only had one copy, and this was a couple of days ago so I can't guarantee that it will still be there.

The thing looks great, and I really regret buying the DVDs seperately now (I bought the 2-disc sets of each new for $18 each the other day), I should've just waited and bought the box but I figured a 5-hour movie wouldnt justify the extra money. I didnt know it had all the other stuff and looked that good. :(

agree royalwithcheese. thanks to the guy who posted the pix. just received my Infernal Affairs from Angolz. shipped thursday. received saturday morning. via EMS.

the set is packed in a huge box along with the poster and calendar. no damage whatsoever happened. nice and protected packaging. thanks also to the customs friendly policy of Angolz.

really happy with their service... the outside casing of the set looks dull though.. but very sturdy. the flash effect (seen on the pix) fooled my eyes. just hope that a serial number/certificate was included..

Received my set from Layoyo yesterday. Two seperate packaging (one for the box and one for the posters and calender. Well wrapped without any damage and delivered within three days without customs charge. Compliments to Layoyo! And thanks for the great tips here. I had never heard from Layoyo before but will certainly order there again.

Where the hell can I get one of these sets before Christmas?

candyrocket786, try angolz.com, cdwow or layoyo/

:)

CDWOW are cheap and quick, but you may be pushing it if you expect anyone to get it to you before Christmas the bussiest time of the year.

Click on the parcel to see my IA boxset. Got it from DDDHouse.

BTW, I'm new here.

Great pictures! Really makes me wanna go out and buy it right now :(

If I can find it for under $100 I probably will. I really just dont wanna order it online right now though.
