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:

1x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

Last first batch was

2x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

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.

I thought it was exactly the opposite with Kimchi... when T2 was up I read posts about people checking the amount of copies remaining and it caused a sell out on site even though not many orders were registered.

I was able to add one copy pretty early but it took about 10 minutes of trying before I completed checkout. On the second page, I got "temporarily unavailable" several times, but completed once I got through this step.

Congrats to everyone who got their orders in

 

[charlie1533pr]

Achieve get a copy of each after retry several occasions due to failure in the page but I succeeded. Hope you all are able to get it.

 

[extantsrevenge]

Site went down several times for me as well, but I could always go back and try again. Anyway after 10 Minutes I was able to complete my order. Happy it worked this time for me.

Thanks to kimchi staff and everyone involved for making it available at a better time.

Now I only hope all these troubles will be gone with Exclusive # 3.

 

[Ardu]

There will be at least one more copy of the 1/4 Slip. I was about to make my payment when the site crashed. When i got back on the site i couldn't complete the payment anymore so i made a new order and that one worked.
Already sent an email to Tony that he may delete my uncomplete order. So watch out for it. Also i guess that i'm not the only one who had that problem, so there might be still a few copies of the 1/4 available.

 

[nkb32]

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.

Yeah I guess some people just got the short end of the stick unfortunately. I was going to go for the quarter slip as well but decided not to put myself through that pain (mind and spirit as well as wallet)

Hope the people that missed get one some kind of way then.

 

[Carlos]

Yes,f****ing Great

Have you entered phone numbers as it won't let you progress without them ?

 

[Jango]

time to announce the next exclusive now

 

[denizen]

Thanks Matt! Got my order in too!!!

 

[Drew]

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

On mine I just put my area code in twice is that ok since I didn't know country area code. I've ordered from them before with out this new check out

 

[smileyx9]

Have you entered phone numbers as it won't let you progress without them ?

entered

 

[harry]

Wow, it took me like 20 minutes to order the 1/4 steelbook and finally i got my order and paid.

 

[Jb162009]

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

I'd better email tony then just in case. Moneys been taken in PayPal.

Mine went straight to Payment Completed after it took me back to the Kimchi website

Just emailed tony. I thought it was strange that I had to sign back in again after paying.

 

[Leshita]

time to announce the next exclusive now

I'd want some acclaimed Korean movie Kimchi exclusive Steelbooks:
Memories of Murder, Mother, My Sassy Girl (when is this ever coming out? :'(), etc.

 

[jackanape]

Have you entered phone numbers as it won't let you progress without them ?

I assume he is having the same problem I did.

Get to the checkout page. It shows the items in my basket, it shows my order info (address details filled in but NO phone number) and there is nothing else to do/input on the page. No way to move it forward, no way to pay.

[charlie1533pr]

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.

It's true, I've got my T-2 copy one day before the release date. 30 cancellations on that day. Have to be persistent and always keep in touch with this forum. HDN...
