Update 30/06/2013:
Sold out (EU Delivery Only) via Zavvi Outlet for £23.99

EARLY SHIPPING NOTICE / PAYMENTS DUE BY WED, 3rd July
Realise we have shipped this early. We fully understand that this may have resulted in many customers not having the required funds to make payment at the time of shipment. However, we are holding stock for all of these orders and will re-process attempted payment next Thursday. For anyone no longer wanting their reserved copy they will need to cancel their order before that date.

NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT EBAY SALES, SCALPERS, RESALE AND THE LIKE IN THIS THREAD - Chat about the steel or the movie itself, HAVE FUN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

Does anyone else here suspect that perhaps this early dispatch was intentional? The conspiracy theorist inside of me suspects that Zavvi knew full well that many people would fail to make payment if they dispatched a week earlier, therefore generating themselves a new batch of stock that they could sell via eBay...

It's pretty bad customer relations to charge customers ahead of schedule without first informing them, especially when most assume a fixed release date and budget accordingly!

Of course it was intentional, but not for the reasons you describe. Zavvi generally don't have a clue what they are doing, I don't think they make malicious decisions, they are mostly just incompetent. Everything has to be a conspiracy when it comes to Zavvi, but I think the truth is a lot simpler and less fishy.

Their ebay outlet Aladdin fiasco makes me consider something like this is very much possible. I have to say, I've lost any respect I had left for them as a company.

 

[Confidemus]

Now SOLD OUT on Ebay too.

Really glad I got my copy off Ebay and didnt miss it! Phew!

No they just got the stock early so why not send them out.

It may well be that they got the stock in earlier than anticipated and decided to ship it out ASAP.

They also put an earlier ship date on their Zavvi Outlet ebay listing too - so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. After all if they say on there that they are going to ship within a certain amount of time then they probably have to stick to it.

Agreed.

If people can't keep 19 quid in their account then they're in the wrong hobby. I've been in financial crisis myself and I definitely wasn't pre ordering anything of any kind at that time.

Ignore.

I deleted all posts regarding the above mentioned comment. Differences of opionion are OK. Offensive, harrasing, and vulgar attacks will not be tolerated. Keep it off the forums and keep to the topic.

My copy was shipped yesterday!

Buddy, you've been full of conspiracy lately, but when retailers are inconsistent in their operation or message, I do believe they open themselves up for this type of feedback.

Having said that, I do think that this belongs in the retailer specific thread, and this comment should make it's way to the appropriate place, so that we do not clutter this thread unnecessarily with talk that is not related to the movie, the steelbook, or the like.

Thanks.

Can't wait for this to come I'm happy it's been sent early hopefully it's on the level of finding nemo

 

[Buddusky]

I received an email saying this has been shipped to me also. Bit of a surprise and just glad I had the funds*in the bank to pay for it.

 

[H11]

They are still processing my order, should I send them an email or should I wait?

relax man, zavvi can be very slow to update dispatch information

 

[wjasoncul]

We got some Kill Bill pictures. Can't wait to see some Aladdin

Well said! I'm in the same boat, I think when you preorder is because you should have that money aside for it! I do have that money at least one month before release.

You seem so certain it won't arrive Saturday. My Aladdin dispatched the day after my Kill Bill did and it arrived today. Ya never know... X3

Wow,.. this is some of the rudest stuff I've heard on here since becoming a member. Stop judging people's situations and their rights to own exclusives. I pre-Ordered Aladdin in April,.. I don't know about others but "I budget". Get paid every two weeks. I have other expenses (Bills/Baby,..the list seems to go on.) I pre-order so that I CAN set the money aside for the ones I want. (Before they sell-out and increase in price!) "If my mortgage company decided to take payment early would that be fair? Should I have had the balance of my mortgage in my account because I'm going to pay it off eventually?"

Don't get me wrong I would love this Steelbook earlier, I wanted it in april when I preOrdered it,..It's gonna be amazing!! "I'll be bummed if I miss out now because they tried to take payment early" Kill BIll came out the day before no problems I expected it to come off. Aladdin was "unexpected".

If Zavvi can send me 40 eMails about "waiting on Indiana Jones", It would be also nice to notify of preOrder date changes, and I'm pretty diligent at keeping on top of it myself through their website/facebook/HDN.
I did the retry card and it's still processing so I might still get them and hope everyone else gets theirs as well, we all deserve to own this beauty.
