Welcome to the Zavvi world.

As I said before, never come across a real live pre-order time. Best to come on 1 hour before pre-order date. The discount codes normally get disabled around 5-10 minutes.

 

[paulboland]

There will be cancellations from customers and some large bulk order that Zavvi cancel
A lot of those that pre ordered on Saturday 29th will have cancelled their order but some would have ordered again and will keep both orders

Just before release date or just after release date cancellations will be put back available

 

[hansgruber]

Zavvi most times goes live early can be even 1 hour early but most times it's 40 min to 15 min before advertised time

Many members might have found that info more useful before it sold out

I thought it was common knowledge that Zavvi preorders go live early? They say 6 but its always best to be on the Zavvi site from around half 5.

Every Saturday & Sunday is the same thing; before 6 a Zavvi thread will be updated saying "Now Live" & the "Steelbook Price Drop" thread will be update to say a Zavvi steelbook has gone live early.

True. I doubt it's legit sold out. I've never known any Zavvi exclusive to sell out within an hour of going live and this wasn't scheduled to go live until 6pm, meaning lots of us were left a bit bewildered.

If your order completed you be fine as there will be cancelled orders not yet put back on the system
Zavvi it's takes a while for that to happen
It's not like amazon stock control software where it's instant

 

[Lollard2002]

I think as long as you get your order in within the 1st couple of hours, you're fine. Usually takes 4 or 5 hours to sell no mater how hot the title. OK who bought all the copies?

You are missing the point. You may know this and I may know this from past experiences, but many newer members do not. And now they have to find out the hard way.

 

[Lollard2002]

is this a record?

 

[hammerdave]

Whether through unusual demand or zavvi incompetence, missed because I couldn't check my phone til 6.03. garbage company.

 

[karma2578]

I got a text from zavvi at 17:42 stating only 1000 available

I preodered at 17:32

 

[BluSteel2012]

I smell BS because this never went live on the German site. I was refreshing away and now sold out? I don't think so.

Anyway, Zavvi can just print off a few more like IT when they get stuck for a few bob!

 

[sunnyx]

So there be around 1000 cancellations to those that ordered the full £25 price.

 

[Lucifer Adams]

They bloody posted on FB before 18;00 to say it was sold out before. Utter joke of a company.

Hard to say for sure lot already pre orderd this on Saturday 29th it was live for over 2 hours then

Even if this had not gone live on Saturday 29th it would have been a fast sell out either way

It will though come back in stock due to customers re ordering today at a cheaper price compared to Saturday 29th and cancelling those orders
Zavvi will announce when that will happen at some stage
