Haven't got mine yet after two weeks; it's more than just a bit shoddy isn't it?

I got mine on Friday. Seems like they're shipping them out at random, doesn't it?

An update or even a sorry for the delay email would be nice....

I presume nobody has got either?

My order still says 'active' and 'pre-order'.

I asked them on the 3rd March what was going on and got this; sod all since though. Not good.

We are currently awaiting the arrival of more vinyl from the record label, as soon as we receive it your order will be processed and sent, please accept our apologies for the delay.

I'm still waiting for my pre-ordered copies of "Empty Souls" from the official website. Honestly! They never sent them out & also never replied to my (numerous) complaints.. Never had a problem since though!

All I got was 'We've sent it and you will receive it shortly', or words to that effect!

Is this because they sold out of them, and so you ended up with Nicky tweeting that he was going to go and make some? (which may even equate to the three of them sitting down together to sign the postcards?)

It would be nice of the people selling them, who have your money, to keep you informed though.

I don't know how this would work, but do you think it's possible they prioritise the UK orders because they count towards the UK singles chart whereas the international sales don't? (I assume they don't, at least). So if they run out of something, it all goes to UK customers first to get the most sold for the chart and everyone else has to wait?

*thinking aloud*

Don't think so; all the pre-orders count towards the UK chart so even though we haven't got ours we still contributed to its chart position!

I'd have thought that this was true as the bulk of their fans are from the UK.

Mysterious mystery is mysterious....

It is a bad show though. I mean, I run an online shop and I feel rather guilty if I leave it a day or two to post out someone's order. Leaving it weeks??? Erm...
