August 9 Update:

Spoiler

Important Announcement here.

Due to Thanks giving day(biggest holiday in Asia), some color adjustment on artwork (more bright tons and saturation etc) and remove title on the back (not front) raised from feedback of HDN ninja's opinion.

Last friday scanavo told Kimchidvd to delay the final shipment of product.
Estimated release date has to be changed as Middle of October or End of October.

due to cancellation of LGB order in Kimchi, Kimchi will re-open the pre-order for rest of quantity around 16th September or later day (it will be announced soon)

Please kindly understand the delay for adjusting steelbook looks even better and manufacturing issue in scanavo.

I will share the steelbook sample picture as soon as it arrive in Kimchi, might be around final week of September (Steelbook & lenticular)

Mod, Please update release date in OP

Thanks

Major update from Choi 7/13/2013: [Mod. Edit: PLEASE READ]

Today I officially announced the pre-order date & time for 2nd round
as I said before, Kimchi will fix pre-order date & time based on UK time zone.

London (United Kingdom - England) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 13:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Seoul (South Korea) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 21:00:00 KST UTC+9 hours
Vancouver (Canada - British Columbia) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 05:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 08:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
Paris (France) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 14:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 12:00:00

-1x copy per slipcover (2x copies for slipcover was sold out too fast like 7 min, That's why kimchi put more restriction for quarter slip release)
-5x copies per lenticular

here is technical problem solved so far

after you pay via paypal, you will automatically return to main page of kimchidvd and you can go to order page to check if your order is completed.

(previous kimchi, does not provide automatic payment completed by paypal, only kimchi handle one by one to complete order by manually matched with paypal transaction. it's kind of big burden and many problem happened)

and another announcement for shipping

Small packet is removed, K-packet applied for all of item sold in kimchidvd
K-packet is slightly expensive than small packet but there is lots of benefits

- Printed slip with tracking number
- End-to-End tracking with delivery confirmation (No lost shipment)
- Reasonable cost than EMS
- generally takes 5-15 days (EMS: 5-10 days, Small packet 15 -35 days)

but some member are curious why kimchidvd changed shipping method

From T2 kimchi release, Kimchi handled more than 1,000 box to ship out to post office KR, this is a big volume of post office KR to handle only for one store.

so post office does not allow kimchi to accept small packet any more
and asked kimchi to change K-packet rather than small packet due to too many package in one or two day.

after changed of k-packet, pack & shipping process is much more faster than small packet and very reliable shipping method in terms of tracking.

even now, some of member did not received T2 kimchi after shipping process done at 26th June because no tracking available for small packet.

1 or 2 steelbook for shipping charge between small packet & k-packet is only difference around 2$

please kindly understand kr post office policy for massive volume of shipment like over 1,000 boxes and more powerful tracking for lost shipment protection.

Thanks

Kimichi crashed for me!

Crashed for me at the start.... a few minutes later all was fine, managed to get what I wanted and hope everyone else did too!

 

[Ranavalone]

Wouldn't let me check out even though I've had copies in my basket for 20 minutes and now it's Out of Stock.

What a joke.

You most probably still have the items in your basket. Now go and check out!

 

[smileyx9]

how can i pay? i`m at checkout

 

[Byte Me]

I tried everything but the kitchen sink for the country code (

 

[alvinhwang21]

i need sleep... this was a damn ordeal ! but i got my orders in

sleep then need to wake up 2 and half hours now to go to target later

 

[bigfub]

I tried everything but the kitchen sink for the country code (

What country?

For UK I just put in 44 in first box then 1*** in 2nd box which is my regional code and then my number in the last box.

 

[gandhi]

Who would have thought buying a movie would be so brutal and exciting at the same time.

I guess that's why we all love this hobby

True!

 

[VRob98]

If anybody has items showing in their order history but can't check out for some reason, you can always email [email protected] and ask for a PayPal invoice.

Otherwise the order will be cancelled down.

 

[aficionado]

Cannot proceed from checkout list

 

[jackanape]

You most probably still have the items in your basket. Now go and check out!

I can't - it's telling me that the 1/4 slip in my basket is now Out of Stock and I have to remove it before I can order.

Just going to cancel both, I suppose I should have expected to it to be so busy but the fact I've still missed out after having both of them in my basket literally as soon as they went live is ridiculous.

Seems that the system only counts stock once an order is complete rather than when items are added to your basket, which means those of us that got in early and got hit by the crash probably lost out to late comers.

Frustrating.

 

[gandhi]

What country?

For UK I just put in 44 in first box then 1*** in 2nd box which is my regional code and then my number in the last box.

0044?

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I missed out. Tried for a good ten minutes to checkout but it just kept crashing. I'm pretty gutted.

If anybody out there can hook me up with a quarter slip copy I'd be extremely grateful.

 

[townterrier]

Lenticular still available......

I put 01 code in for country, worked for me.

 

[bantha11]

1/4 slip SOLD OUT!!!!

As there are a lot of people having issues with the checkout, once the items have been removed from their carts, it may be available again for a short period of time. There were also some if the T2 steels available closer to release date due to cancellations.

 

[nkb32]

I thought the way the system worked was that if it is in your cart it is still allocated to you. Just have to email Tony about how to pay. Check ou system isnt great but all is not lost I dont think.

That also means that there may still be 1/4 slips left, but they are just errors sitting in peoples carts

 

[James]

PLEASE HELP, WHERE TO CLICK TO CHECK OUT. NO CHECK OUT OPTION FOR ME???? HELPL!!!! HUGE THANKS.

 

[demon666]

I am so pissed off......30 minutes I was trying to get onto the site for a quarter slip version and it keptt crashing, I finally got one into my cart but when I went to pay the cart was empty......so so so pissed off!!!

 

[posty01]

got my order for the 1/4 slip in, lenticulars are still up for grabs if anyones interested

 

[severo]

I'm sure this post is going to make you SUPER popular with those of us that got shafted by this terrible checkout system.

Kudos for sharing.

sorry i didnt want to make anybody angry, just wanted to state that complaining in this forum about the site meltdown was maybe just lost time while both versions were still available. i was at least well prepared for this occasion of getting these rarities. i didnt get more than 1 of the 1/4 slips, and i followed the rules of the game...

the lenticular version seems to be available still, so anybody can also place an order.

I don't think that's how it works because I have another 1/4 slip version in my cart that says OOS in red print.
