ciarlese 251 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Given the complete mess around this unfortunate release, I thought it would be useful to get a better understanding of how the ordering and delivering process is going. I am reading weird stories, like people receiving the wrong CD, or parcels being sent back to Disney with the official reason of a wrong address which wasn't wrong at all, leading to a full refund months after the order and no chance to order it again unless it gets available again on the website.

Sandor 797 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I actually ordered the CD again on August 24 (I have the one I ordered on August 21 since early September already), and I see that my order from August 24 is apparently still in the US... Last update: November 6. It says: 'Ready for export'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-8 3,483 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My CD/vinyl bundle order dating July 2 (more than 4 months ago) is now in transit to Germany. My CD order dating August 21 was delivered on September 14 (as confirmed by APC on October 25). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,018 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I ordered my CD and vinyl in mid-June and it was fulfilled in November. I assume the only reason for this was the delay with vinyl release. Other than frustratingly long waiting period, no other issues occured. It arrived in the UK a week later.

AndreasS 1 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I’m from Germany and had the opportunity or the „luck“ to order the CD two times. My first one on August 21.. the second one on August 24. The first one supposedly shipped on Sept. 8., the tracking status on APC stopped the first day of shipping. I asked APC several times: they gave the ever same answer: „we received only the parcel data but not the parcel itself“. DME replied on Oct 25. that my parcel is apparently lost in transit, they will refund me my money…The second one shipped supposedly on Nov. 2nd. APC tracking stopped exactly on this day, no progress since. APC again: only data, no parcel…I wrote DME four times in the last six days, no answer whatsoever. It’s a nightmare :-( GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Big difference between buying a few copies for yourself or a friend for collectibility, and having an active intention to sell it on for many $$s. I actually haven't opened mine - my sole reason for ordering was I had a chance to complete a set (with the Indy box) and I got the contents by other means back when I actually paid for it (with Spotify I wouldn't normally do that nowadays, but Disney fucked this up, so there). I get the frustration for those who didn't mange to get one, but certainly, no one should be made to feel guilty for buying a copy as long as they didn't do it purely to profiteer. (and for the record, I've never sold on a CD - my purchases are for me). I've tried to do the same 'complete the set' for Who and GoT and not quite succeeded. And there's no way in hell I'd ever sell one of those. BB-8 and Marian Schedenig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something very wrong with the tone of that top one... they're using words to emotionally appeal directly to Williams collectors who get increasingly desperate to own the CD. Just downright wrong.
