According to the DHL tracking number Amazon gave me my package arrived in East Midlands about 4hrs ago. Hoping for a delivery tomorrow morning as I'm going away and won't be back until Saturday night.

That's fast! Mine is also coming with DHL but the last tracking information I have is this:
May 13, 2014, 3:40 am, Los Angeles Gateway CA US Departure Scan

Yours departed LA, mine departed Cincinnati. That might be why. I'm also putting my tracking number straight into the DHL tracker rather than checking progress on Amazon. The Amazon tracker is 1 step behind the DHL tracker. My last 2 updates were:

Departed Facility in CINCINNATI HUB - USA CINCINNATI HUB, OH - USA 06:32
Customs status updated EAST MIDLANDS - UK 14:40

I'm hoping that the quicker it gets here, the less time there is for damage to occur!

Thanks for the tip. I'll check the DHL tracker from now on (I've never ordered from Amazon before ;-)).

The Philosopher's Stone is now also shipped and this one does depart from Cincinnati.




Already got the other four (+ V for Vendetta). Packaging wasn't great but I think they're ok. Two with a loose disc by the sound of it though.

Just a question, if you have to pay customs..do you have to pay it the moment they deliver it? Cause I didn't pay anything.

If you order from .ca to have it deliverd to the uk kust make sure you only order one per order and mark it as a gift. Not got hit from customs on any of mine using that method.
 
Agree with Worz - order singly, mark as gift - sometimes helps - The Post Office send you a card prior to delivery demanding the dosh, as I recall - not been hit for a good while.

Hope that helps?

Cheers,

Waiting on my 1-5 from the Monday sale as well.

You must have someone at home that truly understands your {param} hobby
 
I ordered 3 (during Monday Madness, $10.99 each). DHL delivered and no customs charge whatsoever. I've been told (not seen them myself yet) that they're totally damage-free!

I'll wait for the next Madness and order the next 3 Potters I think.

How come you got the HP1? It is said that delivery within 2-4 weeks. I have to wait to next month for it.

Weird I had that notice too but it was despatched Tuesday and it arrived today.

I bought all five as well. I got 2-5 yesterday and 1 today.
Didn't need to pay customs either :LOL:

I am bit worried that 1 is broken on the inside though. It was send in a jiffy bag and there appears to be some plastic of the inner case loose. Guess I have to open it now

Sometimes there's excess plastic.

Only way to know it open it up.

I expected that people in the US would get them faster than in Europe.
I mean my steelbooks went from Canada (obviously) to US - Germany - Belgium before it got to the Netherlands.

It would be nice if you got most of them before the weekend starts ;)

Never had that before. Let's hope so :ohno:

I know. I expected the same but the shipment is coming via road as opposed to direct flight. Not sure why. Oh well as long they arrive mint I am ok.

Heard back from them. Since it's out of stock they refunded me instead of a replacement, and said I could keep the damaged one.

Opened it to see if I could fix the bend, not perfect but better. But there's bends on the cover too..
