That is true.

I'm going to call them again shortly.

Apparently it's "on it's way" and I can't get a replacement sent until the end of the first week of November.

What the shuddering fuck is going on?

Well either me or the Mrs got something sent by recorded delivery today...nobody was in to receive it so it's being delivere tomorrow instead.

It's most likely either a bottle of aftershave I ordered from Amazon or this damn vinyl....could it be???

No doubt I'll be smelling nice for work on Friday......

I am working in cardiff today, so I called into WH Smiths to see if any were left. There was one. There isn't anymore!

Sorry to hear about everybody's online troubles though. Great Magazines sound like a shower of shit.

With everyone being told they're gonna get sent a "replacement", I wonder how many of these actually exist.

Received mine this morning. Wasn't even packed in a cardboard LP mailer but just an oversized jiffy bag folded in half.

Thankfully undamaged but it only had to travel 10 miles or so from Coventry Airport - not so sure how others will fair if they're all packed as amateurishly as this?

Quoting for the momentousness of it

The other National Treasures pre-orders are probably gonna start trickling through Saturday. Really thought I'd have me HMV thing before me Q thing. There's time yet...

Hurrah someone has got theirs at last! Hopefully this means others' orders will follow suit shortly.

I also got this e-mail back:

Quote:
Good morning

Thank you for your email.

I regret to inform you that there was an unexpected delay in the despatch of these items, however I can confirm that these were despatched on Friday 21/10/11 and will be with you very shortly.

Kind regards
So there was a delay in dispatch then, surprise surprise! Why tell everyone it's got lost in the post and that a replacement will be sent when they never got sent in the first place ffs?!

rejoice, for they exist!

that really does not bode well, that packaging description, for the trip mine is to make over the equator. Ho hum, most places ship vinyl in cardboard; but i have got 7" singles in padded enevelope from Tower and Record Shop and no smashed ones yet, can but keep fingers crossed.

It is for the person on the phone I suppose, but not for the company if they're apparently shipping out an extra one to everyone free of charge.

Glad you said apparently, there.

Expecting to see more posts on here along the lines of this:
