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

Update #2 7/10/2013 from Choi:

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

Well that's the thing. It WAS in my cart but after trying to go through the checkout process for so long it then showed up as having a zero quantity with an out of stock notice next to it (in my cart) so then I couldn't get past that page unless I confirmed that it could be removed.

Terrible system.

Well done to those that got lucky I guess but not so many congrats to those boasting about having multiple copies

 

[Ranavalone]

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.

Well, that's not good!

Sounds like KimchiDVD changed their order processing completely. At T2 time, items were reserved when you placed them in your basket.

Now it seems that the availability is checked for the items in your basket only when you attempt to check out.

Hmm... Frustrating, indeed.

I am with you on this dude, if the system hadn't constantly crashed then I may have been able to grab the 1 single copy I was after......

 

[smileyx9]

i`m stucked at checkout list-can`t go further-what do i have to do now?

 

[cooey]

Ordered!!! Paid via PayPal (card wouldn't work, said payment failed) and my order shows in my account as Payment Completed

 

[Anth0ny80]

Yes i have my 1/4 !!

 

[Ranavalone]

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

View Cart -> "OderNow"

 

[Carlos]

Managed to order one of each, Not nice for those that missed out though

Can't believe how many don't know what their country code is

UK is +44 then area code which for me is (0)1902 then your phone number which is six digits in the UK

 

[nkb32]

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.

Did you successfully place an order for one though? If so, since the 1/4 is limited to 1 per person that extra shows up as OOS so you cant order another.

Im just making an educated guess though btw lol

 

[severo]

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

haha true! that was fun!
i had my frustrating moments too in the past when missing out on collector's items, but not today! happy!

I did, and was trying to add another 1/4 to check stock (using the order huge amount trick like Amazon), but that did not work since this is limited to 1 copy per cart. It showed in-stock in my cart for a few minutes until it sold out then it showed OOS in my cart with red letters.

I am stucked too. Great, f*cking great!

 

[The Rainmaker]

FINALLY

The sense of achievement is second to none

 

[Jb162009]

Ordered!!! Paid via PayPal (card wouldn't work, said payment failed) and my order shows in my account as Payment Completed

After you paid with PayPal did it take you straight back to Kimichi? And did you have to sign back in?

For all my other Kimichi orders in the past once I've paid I'm taken into my Kimichi account but this time it took me to Kimichi and said I needed to sign in and my order says "reciept of order"

Commiserations to those who missed out.

Looking ahead, Kimchidvd really need to upgrade the e-commerce side of their site. They're stepping into the big leagues now with this volume of international sales, so they really need to have a reliable, bug-free cart system.

As I said before, if you didn't manage to make payment but see the notice 'Receipt of order' in your order history, you can try and request a Paypal invoice by email. At least that way there's a chance of grabbing any spare/cancelled copies.

 

[James]

I clicked Order Now, then it goes to my address page. that's it. it won't going forward!!!!!

 

[jackanape]

Well, that's not good!

Now it seems that the availability is checked for the items in your basket only when you attempt to check out.

Hmm... Frustrating, indeed.

Well, I wasn't really sure what to expect as it's the first (and probably last) time I used the site. But I created an account ahead of time as I figured that would speed things up, plus I'd seen people saying (with T2) that once an item was in your cart then it was allocated to you. So that sounded pretty good.

I was refreshing the page, they popped up and I added one of each version to my cart (really wanted the quarter slip). The site crashed but I'd already seen that I had one of each stored in my cart so figured I was good. Tried to get through checkout a few times, but everytime I got past my Cart to the checkout page I was just looking at my order and address with no way to move forward or pay.

I figured it would fix itself if I refreshed the page, as people suggested, but then it booted me back to my cart and told me the quarter slip was no longer available to order.

Seems weird to have a system whereby the first people to make it through checkout (a checkout that crashed last time and, surprise, did so again this time) be the ones to luck out. I would have actually preferred the older system of those that got the items in cart first had first chance to order.

Just disappointed I guess.

 

[hatredhorror]

there will be one quarter slip back in stock as ive canceled my order

 

[smileyx9]

I am stucked too. Great, f*cking great!

Yes,f****ing Great

Mine said the same for a few minutes but now says "Payment completed"
