Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?

  1. 1. Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?

    • Yes, I pre-ordered the CD from Disney Emporium in June/July
      53
    • No, because the order page was removed before I could order it there
      17
    • No, because I assumed it would be sold through other retailers in August
      57
    • No, because I do not want to own this album on CD
      17
    • Yes, but only when it returned for sale for briefly in August
      39

Hello Jason, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share something intriguing that I've recently noticed. It seems like Bespin, the person we've been interacting with, is using AI to write e

"Dear Disney Music Emporium, A few admiring fans seek signed copies of my latest CD.  I'd therefore be grateful if you could ship a few copies to me as soon as possible. Salutations, Jo

I ordered August 21 and the CD was delivered September 8 (The Netherlands). 

I ordered 24th of August, shipped 2nd of November 😅 (I know there are other members here in the same situation).

There was a window of just a few hours when orders could be placed again on August 21 before the infamous 'Product currently not available' message plagued the site once more.

 

The orders placed on August 21 were shipped relatively quickly, ironically on August 24. My theory is that Disney located remaining copies of the original batch, so nothing had to be re-produced.

 

On August 24 there was a second window when the CD could be purchased, this time lasting longer than just a few hours.

 

However, these orders -again my theory- involved a still to be done new pressing of the CD, likely in October.

 

That's why those who ordered on August 24 had to wait much longer than those who ordered just 3 days prior.

Anyway. Looking at the time it took to create that batch of CDs for these orders from the 24th I guess the job was assigned to an intern who was given just an old permanently down breaking Windows 98 PC and an internal rusty CD burner drive for it.

Top men are on the job

I’d love to chuckle at this, but every time I see a gen AI image, the flame of hope for humanity’s soul I nurture inside me dims another lumen or three.😞

The second one looks like Bradley Cooper, which is all sorts of confusing. So who's hoarding the discs?.... Indy?..... Bradley?....... Bernstein??! :D

Indy has landed. No cracking has occurred.

And has anyone noticed this on the back of the Blu-ray? Someone call the home video department to tell them the bad news...

I admire Disney Emporium's shipping technique for this CD: they open a box of CDs, ship them, and mark the CDs as 'unavailable' on the website... until the next box is opened. One thing at a time!

 

"We could be efficient, but it would cost more." :lol:

Lucky you who received it already. So where are you from? I'm from Germany and my parcel still seems to be on US ground 🙄

I am in UK, never had any tracking update at all since 2nd of November ("parcel data received") 🙄.

I got a tax refund from Disney.

Could you provide more info about how did you manage to get a tax refund? They are denying my requests:

 

"Unfortunately, all orders are subject to taxes and cannot be waived or refunded unless a tax-exempt form is provided"

 

They even refuse to tell me why this tax is charged for.

 

thx.

I‘m from Germany and my APC tracking also stopped on Nov. 2nd. I asked APC, and they said, they only received the parcel data, but not the parcel itself. I contacted Disney Emporium 3 days ago, but no answer yet. It‘s very frustrating cause my last order from Disney recently with no progress in the tracking ended after 8 weeks with the info from Disney, that my order is lost in transit.

I am in the same situation, the only difference is that APC hasn't replied, while Disney Emporium replied advising to wait 21 days before worrying...

If the CD is lost in transit (before even getting to the shipping courier...), will they ship another one or will it be out of stock? I just can't see how I can accept an order cancellation after waiting for so long for this CD.

I wonder if the history of music has ever seen a CD release managed worse than this one.

Nothing in particular that isn’t already posted here in the thread. Just a friendly reminder that it is unlawful to collect tax twice, and since I am paying tax in my country, Disney should remove theirs.

 

Good luck!

Mine is in the Netherlands in the meantime. 

 

I imagine seeing from above my CD travelling from country to country leaving a red line behind itself on the map while playing Helena's Theme.

Haha, yes - I did a map of that kind once when I was excitedly awaiting the arrival of my Blade Runner Final Cut suitcase in 2008 I think it was? Good times...
