Josh500 1,615 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yeah, exactly. Dunno how it's in the US, but in Europe, generally, postal services give guarantees for certain packages (if it's sent at least two weeks earlier) to be delivered on time for Christmas. Meaning postal workers work overtime to make sure all the packages get delivered. P.S.

Our postal service is delivering packages on weekends until the 16th of December (which it normally doesn't do) to meet with the higher delivery demand of the season so hopefully my package gets here quicker this year.

It doesn't take two weeks for packages to arrive from the US to Europe, or anywhere in the world for the matter! 10 days at most. Trust me, I've had to wait way longer than that. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I wonder whether complimentary copies are taken from the 5,000, or whether a few extras are pressed for that purpose. I mean, surely John Williams himself receives a few complimentary copies, right? Not to mention Chris Columbus and the producers...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I am usually cautious with these things and I don't think there is a need to panic or get anxious, but there is quite a hype on Twitter and other social media about this release. This is something that will be eyed not just by John Williams/film music fans. Since it's an expensive piece of merchandise, I don't think it will sell out in a few hours, but it will surely won't last too long. There is also the risk of speculation in these things, like people buying multiple copies to sell later on eBay once the title is out of print.
