Mine was ordered exactly two minutes after being available to order. The order was confirmed on that day. Status was changed to awaiting shipment on November 30. They starting shipping on December 7, yet I still have no shipping confirmation yet. The shipping confirmation should come this week though, right? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redishere 697 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The fact that other people in more technologically advanced corners of the globe have the same shipping delays I’m experiencing makes me feel less lonely. According to every tracking website except the Italian Postal Service one, my package was last seen last sunday at 8:45 am: it was leaving Milan (a three hour drive from where I live). No sign of it yesterday, I’ll see what happens today. I’m afraid it’s stuck at customs and I have no idea how long it takes 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the Potter box in time for holidays, it's probably better to cancel the MusicBox order and try to place one directly at LLL now.

Yep, I'm perfectly aware of that comment, it's just getting certain now, it was estimated for the 14th until today. I haven't placed any orders because of this uncertainty of a shipping date and chose not to order from LLL because people said our post is unreliable and slow when handling overseas packages. Getting it before the holidays would've been nice but not an absolute priority, my January will probably be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I totally understand your concern.

Holko 9,526 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Apparently there is a very real risk of the problem not being me having to pay customs or waiting 3-5 weeks for the post to process it, but me not getting it at all. THAT I won't risk, and LLL doesn't ship with other parcel companies like DHL or UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yes, I understand. Well, I ordered from MB too, so I have to wait too... unless I decide to cancel now and reorder directly from LLL (which I'm strongly considering). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score 770 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Everything would be much simpler if LLL just released those titles in more normal periods of the year.

I don't think so. I think they rely on the label to send out copies to resell as quick as they can. It's perfectly understandable that LLL wants to satisfy their own direct customers first and foremost. If anyone prefer to order somewhere else for their own perfectly understandable reasons, they have to wait a little more. I'm personally okay in waiting a few weeks more, I'm not manically obsessing over it. Other than the fact I'm enjoying fantastic recent releases like Dracula and Saving Private Ryan, I'm literally swamped with work in these weeks, so I don't have time to listen to any music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
