August 9 Update:
Important Announcement here.

Due to Thanks giving day(biggest holiday in Asia), some color adjustment on artwork (more bright tons and saturation etc) and remove title on the back (not front) raised from feedback of HDN ninja's opinion.

Last friday scanavo told Kimchidvd to delay the final shipment of product.
Estimated release date has to be changed as Middle of October or End of October.

due to cancellation of LGB order in Kimchi, Kimchi will re-open the pre-order for rest of quantity around 16th September or later day (it will be announced soon)

Please kindly understand the delay for adjusting steelbook looks even better and manufacturing issue in scanavo.

I will share the steelbook sample picture as soon as it arrive in Kimchi, might be around final week of September (Steelbook & lenticular)

Mod, Please update release date in OP

Thanks

2nd pre-order info: (ended)
Major update from Choi 7/13/2013: [Mod. Edit: PLEASE READ]

Today I officially announced the pre-order date & time for 2nd round
as I said before, Kimchi will fix pre-order date & time based on UK time zone.:scat:

London (United Kingdom - England) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 13:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Seoul (South Korea) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 21:00:00 KST UTC+9 hours
Vancouver (Canada - British Columbia) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 05:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 08:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
Paris (France) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 14:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 12:00:00


-1x copy per slipcover (2x copies for slipcover was sold out too fast like 7 min, That's why kimchi put more restriction for quarter slip release)
-5x copies per lenticular

here is technical problem solved so far

after you pay via paypal, you will automatically return to main page of kimchidvd and you can go to order page to check if your order is completed.

(previous kimchi, does not provide automatic payment completed by paypal, only kimchi handle one by one to complete order by manually matched with paypal transaction. it's kind of big burden and many problem happened)

and another announcement for shipping

Small packet is removed, K-packet applied for all of item sold in kimchidvd
K-packet is slightly expensive than small packet but there is lots of benefits

- Printed slip with tracking number
- End-to-End tracking with delivery confirmation (No lost shipment)
- Reasonable cost than EMS
- generally takes 5-15 days (EMS: 5-10 days, Small packet 15 -35 days)

but some member are curious why kimchidvd changed shipping method

From T2 kimchi release, Kimchi handled more than 1,000 box to ship out to post office KR, this is a big volume of post office KR to handle only for one store.

so post office does not allow kimchi to accept small packet any more :(
and asked kimchi to change K-packet rather than small packet due to too many package in one or two day.

after changed of k-packet, pack & shipping process is much more faster than small packet and very reliable shipping method in terms of tracking.

even now, some of member did not received T2 kimchi after shipping process done at 26th June because no tracking available for small packet.

1 or 2 steelbook for shipping charge between small packet & k-packet is only difference around 2$

please kindly understand kr post office policy for massive volume of shipment like over 1,000 boxes and more powerful tracking for lost shipment protection.

Thanks

1x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

I just received my replacement disc today. Have to admit, very quick, but only 1 disk. Is that right? I purchased both full and 1/4 slips but only replacement. Did everyone else get 1 for each version?

I just received mine in Brisbane today - I got 2 discs so I'd be contacting Bruce if i was you
 
I can't see anything on Kimchi regarding replacement. Is there official word on how we go about getting corrected discs?
We have found that The sound of Le Grand Bleu for the Long Version is missing on right side after about 40 minutes.
So we are going to re make the replacement disc via our pressing company and ship it..
Currently the replacement disc is being made by U Tech..
The shippment will be proceed from Jan. 2014..
Conbine shipping is not allowed..
If you have made an order for LGB, let us know via our e mail : [email protected]. with order No. and qty. .
In case of the address changed, let us know too..
We will check it and send it..
We are so sorry for your inconveniece. The shippment of replacement disc will be proceed three times devided as belows End of Jan. End of Feb. End of Mar.

Bump for any members who haven't seen this yet. Just noticed it myself yesterday. Wouldn't have known if not for mnementh's post. :scat:

Just make sure that they send you the correct amount of replacement discs. I have had to send another email to Bruce about this, but as yet no reply. Hopefully soon.

In the end though, at least they acknowledged the error and have tried to rectify. Great service overall.
