Still no despatch on mine

Same.

After this long wait, I really don't mind a couple of extra days of waiting.
But it's just not okay to send an updated shipping schedule to the customers when they obviously can't keep to it. Note Manta wrote "Single editions (Full, Lenticular) - Shipped by 10th", which - in my understanding - would translate to: the whole batch is on its way by January 10th the latest. Five days later still nothing.
I just hope they had better QC for this steelbook than in their last releases. Because of the colors, any imperfection will show clearly.

This

I've been a big supporter of Manta since they began but with poor QC issues, having almost every release delayed and poor shipping updates.......it's putting me off them if I'm being honest.
 
Hm..for me it really doesn‘t matter if the release or my editions are shipped one / two weeks later IF i have the feeling my steelbooks arrive in mint condition. But now they lost their trust in my opinion. We will see if either Lala Land / War for the planet of Apes will get them right back on track. And then i decide if i stop buying from them.
 
I've ordered several editions from Manta these past few years, and this is the first delay I've ever experienced with them. Considering they're currently switching to a different Scanavo factory, whilst also having to deal with the mess the old factory left them in with the scratched WW steels, then I'm happy to wait as long as I need to for them to get back on track with their schedule/orders... especially since the CS team have been trying their best to keep myself and others updated in the process.

I completely agree. That said, it's best to not provide a date, if it can't be delivered on. Hopefully they will learn from this going forward.
 
Just received a shipping email for mine... they're also apparently shipping my WW replacement with it.

Same mate, just got shipping.

I wonder if the delay for a big amount of these was because so many are waiting for a WW steel replacement and Manta was waiting for them to arrive

Yeah, that's what the delay was. John is sending @Mickle_89 replacement WW steel with my order and that was the reason for the delay

Ahhh ok, I thought it the other day but forgot to mention it in here.

I was going to ask them but assumed they might of been a bit busy sorting these out etc and haven’t spoke to them since they told me about the factory change

Looking forward to this, I went for the lenti and FS in the end and hope I’m pleased with them after I missed the Korean one
