UK Shipments ?

golddustboy71 · #1 05-06-2011, 03:05 AM

Anyone in the UK ( or Europe) got their CD from the Warner Brothers order yet ? Had an email saying its shipped in the 27th April…no sign yet ?

No sign yet. I got the e-mail too but I expect it to take a good couple of weeks. I also got an e-mail from amazon saying my copy from there had shipped on release date and is expected 9-10 May.

a couple of weeks !...wonder why it would take so long in this day and age ?..I also heard there may be a customs charge to pay at the post office ?...shame really wanted a weekend listening to' In Your Dreams'..only heard it twice on Rollingstone before it was taken down.

Because Warners don't give a **** about anyone outside the US. Sad but true.

I do not agree. The CD is available in every Dutch recordstore I walked in to the last week.

It's all about marketing, they wait in the UK till after the HydePark-concert, I bet there will be some visible marketing after that!

So WB might have a plan and a reason :-)

Postal services do not work as fast anymore since E-mail and other means of digital communication:-)

Sorry, I should have been clearer: I meant the Fan Edition. The later UK release of the standard edition makes perfect sense.

As for the fan edition, not only did WB make it a bit awkward to order but dispatch should have been much, much earlier to make sure that non US territories didn't have to wait so long. It can't be helped though and sorry if I'm griping but it's little things like that that often make fans feel less valued.

Amazon UK really hacked me off over this. I had the import on pre-order for ages, and then in the middle of last week I got an email saying the dispatch date was changed to end of June - which is, of course, the official UK release date. Went and checked their website and there's no longer an option to order an import at all.

Luckily, I saw that there was one 'used' CD for sale from the States, so I bought that and it shipped yesterday, so I'm hopeful I'll have it in my mitts soon.

I guess I should've ordered from Warners all along, but you don't have yours yet either, so who knows? I'm annoyed because obviously Stevie won't register the sale of a secondhand unit, but I WANT MY IYD!!

They always do this. Far better to not bother ordering the import (which costs morer anyway) and just order direct from amazion.com in the US. With the exchange rate we get a better deal. I'm guessing that my CD from amazon will arrive before with WB Fan Edition, despite WB's one dispatching first!

well if it shipped on 27th there is no reason to suspect it didn't go...thats 9 days ago now..so fingers crossed maybe we will be surprised in the post tomorrow ?

...unless Warners sent it by boat !

Me too - it said it shipped the 28th April but I am still waiting! I got hold of it on the internet in the end as I am too impatient, so don't really care when it arrives now anyway! Though it will be nice to see the artwork and all that..

On the warners page, it says that it can take up to 28 working days for delivery in the UK, so I don't think we'll be getting them until the end of the May, at least. I hope we get them sooner though.

golddustboy71 · #13 05-06-2011, 08:20 AM

think im going to have to resort to tracking down a online down load version...didn't want to have to do that but i'm certianly not waiting until the end of May while most other countries are enjoying there new Stevie tunes !

I was having this exact same conversation today. I got the email from Warners saying it had shipped 27th April, so I would have throught it would be here by now...

Maxd9 · #15 05-10-2011, 06:01 AM

I got my lithograph today! Judging by what other people have been saying, I'm assuming that the CD will arrive in the next few days.

Anyone else get theirs yet?
