phbart 609 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Mine is at NASA waiting for the next space bus to my home planet. I'm sure it's LLL first interplanetary shipment, so I'm cool with the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Mine's arrived, along with Romancing the Stone, Cutthroat Island, Link and Cliffhanger in the same package. The box, however, was mutilated by Australian customs, so they must have suspected it contained explosives or illegal drugs or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,305 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Perhaps they didn't believe such a large package could have a retail value of $1 Of course, to the uninformed, they might have questioned why such an assortment of CDs had any worth at all.

rough cut 1,714 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just to share my experience. I ordered immediately upon released, got no shipping notice but I assume it went out around the 3rd, and The CD arrived on the 12th. Can’t complain really. I got home super late though, in the middle of the night, so I’ve not had time for a listen yet. Well... not a proper listen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demondm810 399 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I never got mine, so I emailed them on the 11. Didn't get a response to my e-mail, but a few hours later I got a shipping notice e-mail. My orders must have fallen through the cracks. Happy to get them soon!

I have never seen a score that was temporarily out of stock and got back in stock! They do not print the whole e.g. 5000 unit pressing at once and when the initial units they ordered from the plant run out they have to do another batch. I remember that e.g. LLL's Star Trek The Motion Picture set was "temporarily out of the stock" and it got back in stock so that I could order it. How quickly they order that new follow-up pressing is another question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yes. It will come back into stock eventually. Sometimes labels cannot afford to purchase a new run of CDs from a pressing plant until they have enough capital on hand to do so. The best way to help them get capital is to buy their other products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phbart 609 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I asked because I read some complaints from eBay sellers that those new "UA" codes aren't traceable outside US because it's a cheaper shipping method. And I beggined to worry a little because I'm expecting two packages from eBay with this darn code, and both are celebrating little over a month now of departure from US. E.T. was also sent with that code (which makes me wonder why charge $16,50 if they use the cheapest shipment method). But it was only on october 5th, so it's kind of soon to panic. But if you said yours arrived in your country, then USPS must have changed something in their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
