That might be why it's taking awhile, I've had things stuck at customs before. This is ridiculous though, it seems like this happens with each album!

It's not entirely ridiculous. It's the holiday season and the mail volume/customs stuff increases exponentially!

Mid-November? all those Diwali presents must be holding things back a bit...

many thanks for the sympathy. i hope i am isolated and everyone does get theirs. it seems the people they hired to ship just shoved a stamp on a box and threw it into the nearest postal system. stupid. Diwali is a pretty big thing here - man, we had some awesome fireworks last night - but not a public holiday and not something that usually sees gifts being posted.

With early snow in some parts of Canada, weather delays do happen. And issues with Customs can hold stuff back about a week or so. I don't expect a huge amount of holiday parcel backlog yet, but it's starting. It'll get worse in the US in a week or so with Black Friday shopping.

Using the official site is like a lottery where you buy a ticket to decide whose turn it is to get fucked over.
Last year it was the vast majority thanks to blatantly inadequate packaging. This time it's down to inadequate couriers. You get the impression we're not dealing with proper retailers here... |

Mine came today in California (shipped 10/29)! I think I was getting worried mostly because of this thread - it really isn't unusual for something to take 2 weeks or more to get here from overseas. I hope things will turn out well for everyone else who is waiting.

Oh no I hate package false alarms! I hope yours comes soon.
Not sure if it has been pointed out yet (probably has), but the You Love Us print in the box is a greenish black and white that shows more of the collage, while the You Love Us print from the Slash n' Burn old vinyl was color. A comparison: |
