Strange there's hardly any on eBay, usually loads of kimchi releases?

No need to use ebay its still available from KimchiDVD and has been for a long time
Its not a mainstream film that everyone would like its a strange film
I purchased the Full Slip that sold out from the start as it only had a international print run of 350 and looks the best package
The Lenticular has not sold out yet as it has an international print run of 800 and 1/4 Slip has international print run of 300

Lenticular http://kimchidvd.com/en/good/goods.jsp?good_seq=20532
1/4 Slip http://kimchidvd.com/en/good/goods.jsp?good_seq=20533

Its only the Triple Pack and Full Slip that are Sold Out
Its also possible it did not sell well with local Korea stock for the Lenticular and 1/4 Slip

I ordered Moon and it shipped about a week after this one and received it a week and a half ago..also in South Texas. I actually already contacted Tony and he said it was in the US, just waiting on USPS - which is what tracking reflects. It's just never taken this long. I've had 20 or so orders shipped from them as well.

 

[paulboland]

Got a cheap opened 1/4 slip on eBay, should see it early next week. I really want the lenti but not sure I want to spend 45$ on it. Hoping they release something else that I can combine with. I'd love a tri pack but refuse to pay the ebay prices.

I'm curious why you not order the Lenticular from KimchiDVD its still available and has been from day 1 going live it has not sold out yet
Also the 1/4 Slip is still available from Kimchidvd so curious to why you used ebay

Its only the Triple Pack and Full Slip that are Sold Out

Ordered the Lenticular on Jan 08th,, it's been listed as being in the US since Feb 19th @ Kennedy Airport/New York, I wonder if I should start getting worried...

 

[Texas Ex]

Is the tracking showing it was scanned in the US? I know I usually get my korea deliveries in 7-10 days, but a recent order was scanned in Chicago on the 12th and sat in customs for 10 days before it was released. All of my most recent imports are taking longer recently...for some reason. Backed up, perhaps?

The only tracking number I show is the one from the site (the one that begins with PEKR). I click on it and it takes me somewhere else and shows an error script. I go to aftership and it can't locate the number. Try USPS and the same thing. Been this way for the past week and a half or so.

I would have thought the same thing about the imports, but I had stated previously that I ordered something from Plain about two weeks or so ago and just got it in the other day. I just don't want it to be lost or anything like that. As long as I receive them, I'm good...

You might have the wrong format there, tracking should only begin with PE then the numbers then it should have KR at the end, try that instead.

I want the lenti but I hate paying shipping, I understand it comes with the territory but it's definitely a turn off. I paid $33 on eBay for the 1/4 slip shipped.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either. Just gave me an error when I tried it on aftership.

PEKR is a Pantos reference. Although tracking should be available in your Kimchi order details, it might be worth trying the Pantos website. My copy took longer to arrive as well and was in the UK for about a week before the tracking updated.

Could be a Texas thing. South Texas here. Didn't they recently have a problem with one of the Her releases and a certain shipment not being received? Haven't read anything anywhere, but if I don't receive it by Friday, I'll probably contact Tony and see what's going on. Chose the cheapest shipping option, so no tracking, but noticed that there was some tracking info on their site under my account, but that hasn't worked.

Yeah, I ordered a lot from Kimchi and usually hasn't taken this long. Funny thing is I ordered Malena on 2/28 and got that one two weeks later. I see they still have the lenti in stock which is what I ordered so not to worried yet. I also chose the cheapest option and you get tracking no matter what. Not sure which browser you are running, I use google and after i did a translate it popped up my tracking information. Once you are able to see that it shows a domestic tracking number which links to the USPS site. Mine says landed in JFK New York back on 2/25 and nothing since.

Thanks. Going to kimchi's site, looking up account info, and clicking on the tracking number takes you to Pantos

So... Found out what the problem was... Apparently the Pantos website isn't mobile-device-friendly. Got on a laptop and tried everything again and was able to see the history. Apparently it was picked up on Feb. 16th, and the last entry is POD arrival USJFK (I'm assuming that JFK airport). This was on Feb. 19th. After that, there isn't anything. Aftership and USPS don't pick up anything. Should I begin to worry now? Or is there something else I can try?

As a follow-up to the previous poster, I read your and noticed the tracking number on the side (I'm new to all of this). Clicked on it and saw the same thing you did: 2/25 entry and nothing since. At this point, given what happened with Her, I'm beginning to think that it's a Customs thing. Could be wrong and I'd be curious if anyone else from Texas and/or with the 2/25 JFK entry has the same issue. Could need to contact kimchi a lot sooner...

After over 40 days from shipping date this morning I've received the order.

With great disappointment I had to pay the customs fees (€ 32.00)!
But when I made the order I have indicated expressly to mark the value of the parcel for $26 or so.
Instead it was written on the package the full amount $139!!



I've contacted Tony: let's see what he says.

My order is on its way!!! Shows that it's in Texas already, so should get it either tomorrow or Thursday. Yours is probably on its way as well...

Thanks Texas Ex. I took your advice and checked and sure enough it's showing it's in Dallas today so hopefully tomorrow we'll get our packages soon enough!

@bigballas01 @Texas Ex
You won't be disappointed, it is a fantastic steelbook. Definitely worth the wait. One of my favs. The quality of the steel itself and slip are top notch!

 

[Texas Ex]

Jaszeron notified me that his had moved, so I checked my status and sure enough. Guess all of ours were together and were being held for a month for whatever reason. Hope this doesn't happen for the Raid releases...

Thanks! I really liked the lenti and the steel itself, but I don't open mine, so I broke my rule and double dipped on this one by getting the 1/4 as well.

 

[bigballas01]

Thanks @steellogic !!! I'm surprised I never did see this movie so I'm looking forward to finally watching it as I read people say it's a really great movie.

 

[steellogic]

@bigballas01 It is a great film, one of my favourites. Very original and creative! Amazing how they came up with the ideas in this film. The writing especially is definitely a stand out. One of the best screenplays.
Most people really love it, it is on the imdb top 250, but I know some people that hate it with a passion. lol
