Yeah it's definitely cheaper than ordering it from Music Box. Now I just hope it arrives in good condition, and if possible, before Christmas  

None of the Black Friday batches from LLL ever arrived late. I've been ordering every single year since 2010.

 

As for the condition, it largely depends on the carriers. LLL usually stuff their packaging with ridiculous amount of bubblewrap. And many bigger deliveries are being shipped in boxes. So I would sweat too much. Should something go wrong they'll probably replace it for you. They're usually good like that.

Yes, I've never had any damaged packages from LLL. Their packing is very good and secure. 

[Disco Stu 15,495]

But no one packs a box as good as Intrada!!  Best in the biz.

Anybody leave a note in the Order Instructions/Comment box?

Please package CDs carefully and appropriately, so as to minimise chance of breaking of the cases in transit! Thank you very much for making this happen. Been waiting for Harry Potter for 14 years!

 

[Faleel 5,330]

I just congratulated them on releasing so many grails, and to keep it up.

I left it blank. Taking a minute to type up a message was probably the difference between a hundred orders.

No, actually it does make a difference. Trust me on this. They all communicate with each other. Well duh. What are "order instructions" good for, otherwise? 

 

At the beginning (like, if I remember correctly, with Rosewood), I didn't write anything in the comments.

 

Starting with A.I., I always ask them to package the CDs carefully. And since then the amount of bubblewrap has increased noticeably, and they now stick even one box set in a big carton, crammed with bubblewrap. And no more broken jewel cases!

I'm not at all ashamed of spending money on this.

Same. This is probably the smartest purchase I've made around the Holidays

I will enjoy my new 4K player even more than this set.

He should be able to, I would think.  My Blu Ray player plays audio CDs

Yes Pineapple my 4K player is my cd player. Its connected to my sound system such as it is and my amount of media  is vulgar, hoarder-ish. I feel bad but I have about 50 disc sets I purged this past Sunday.

i have to drag out my PS3 from the closet if i want to listen to a c.d.

Yeah, I put Titanic in mine last Xmas and was shocked to discover it couldn’t play CDs!

There's something special about hearing it coming from the big speakers so it fills the entire space of the room.

I'm lucky in that mine are not. In fact, my speakers are really good for just coming out of the TV.

So did half of America.

 

I bought a new computer as a gift for Christmas and it did not come with an optical drive. I was surprised but I will include a plug in one as well.

It always is. I've been ordering stuff from the US for the past decade and it's always like this. Sometimes it might take a bit longer but that's rare (even in December). And sometimes with Tuesday shipping I get it delivered on Saturday.

 

The unknown variable is, will customs delay it for one or two weeks, or not at all.

Mostly because it essentially misunderstands what the word "computer" means.  A computer is not just the traditional PC with monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

 

Your phone is a computer.  Phones were computers before they were "smart" actually.

[Josh500 1,615]

So three hours after this went on sale.

 

Wonder how many orders they got so far/ how many copies are still left...

 

Any chance of finding out?

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Only if MV gives some indication over at FSM

[Jay 37,281]

MV will post numbers later tonight, I would think.  He usually does.

I visit FSM only once in a blue moon.  Jay will repost here if he does, for sure.

For those that frown on downloading copies, if it's not sold out then someone is getting it for me for Christmas. I still think it's not worth $100, and I bet there's a ton of music included that I never listen to (like all the extra stuff on the SW SE's).  

 

As far as packaging, it will just collect dust once I rip the CD's.

If you like the music, then IMO it's worth it.

Over here it delays it only by a day or so. But never with LLL.
