Hey HiDefNinja members!

Original order link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/star-wa...al-hd-copy/4942301.p?id=3537841&skuId=4942301

Due to the large amount of work for international group buys, including a few visits to the post office and packaging materials, the fee will be $4.00 per copy and $2 for each additional.

Paypal fees will be included in any invoice sent.

COMBINE WITH ANY EXISTING GROUP BUY, or OTHER STAR WARS GROUP BUYS
Walmart BB8 Exclusive slipcover
Target Exclusive Edition with 20 minutes extra footage and special packaging

Limit of 3x copies per request.

Only mint or near mint & new STEELBOOK copies will be passed on to members here.

Additionally - these steelbooks usually come wrapped with cardboard slipcovers. I'll do my best to inspect them, but I cannot see underneath the plastic. I will not open an item for you to inspect prior to shipping. I cannot return items that are opened to Target.

"OCD" disclaimer. MANY copies from Best Buy and the USA Scanavo factory may run into paint chips or things like that. If you are a collector that also expects a pristine and perfect steelbook, I do require that you alert me at the time of payment.

This includes any special requests!! With the volume that I PERSONALLY handle, I need to be aware of these special requests that you may have, PRIOR to shipping!

Thank you for keeping this in mind with any order you place with me.


Shipping options:
QUOTES are for up to 3 steelbooks ONLY.

I will pack in the following manner - case will be bubble wrapped, in a heavier cardboard box.

Please note - with non-trackable shipping - you the buyer understand that I cannot verify it's delivery - as I leave the choice up to you, this is not my responsibility. Insurance can be purchased through a 3rd party if desired.

I will retain proof of shipping for each package.

All delivery times are ESTIMATES only. New quotes provided as necessary.

First Class International (Box) - with delivery confirm to most countries.

-delivery to most locations - 10 - 14 business days, but may take longer

Requesting list (remember, you can ask to HOLD your items up to 30 days with other releases, and I will be happy to consolidate your orders!) - NO BACKING OUT, if you request an item, you will be held to that request!

Hi Andy,

Got my Star Wars steel today, thank you very much.
Very quick delivery

I do have a slight problem though, mines damaged, I have 2 dents on the front of Kylos face! And not sure what I can do about it

My copy along with The Hateful Eight arrived today. Mint. Excellent work. Well packaged. You would need to have dropped this package of a cliff to damage them.
Many thanks again
It's interesting that the main blu-ray feature of Star Wars is all region but the DVD is region A only

Mine was also very well packaged but I still have dents on mine somehow.

Given the weight of your package, and the huge amount of items, SW could have jostled around in shipping. I'd suggest putting in an insurance claim for Star Wars to get your funds back.

I can't return it to the store since it's opened.

There's no way the damage was done in the shipping, the dents are where something has landed on it with a heavy corner. Everything was wrapped in bubble wrap and fitted in nice and tightly with no room for anything to move and even when I opened the box you could tell nothing was going to be banging around. Also the packaging box is in perfect condition and It would have evidence of a nasty knock to cause the steels to get damaged by bubble wrap!
All the other items don't have these marks and I believe something must of landed on it at Best Buy or maybe before or in the delivery to yourself.
Pretty rubbish of Best Buy if you can't return opened damaged steels (I mean for all steels not just this)
Shame because I desperately wanted an OCD version so I'll have to have a look into what you said then. Ive never put in a insurance claim before
 
Well, I'm not going to argue about the finer points of shipping and damaged items in transit.

You can contact me via PM and I'll begin the claim process for your copy of Star Wars on Monday.

Thanks

Really sorry, I wasn't trying to argue with you.

Thanks for the info and have PMd you
 
I keep getting PM's about this, I do not have any additional copies available for sale and cannot source more. Group buy is closed.

I will keep this thread open a little longer in case anyone needs to post here about their group buy experience.

Thanks
