Mine is #2014-12064, I ordered it 105 minutes after preorder time started (it's Saturday dammit, I'm tired and didn't want to get up at 7AM :D), so I was one of the last to pay the very special promotional price :D

I don't mind paying a little extra for the shipping. Btw it's an extra $4 ($10 instead of $6), not $3. I expected to pay $33.99 +$10 shipping and the pre-order promotional price is $31.99 + $10 shipping, so in the end, it's still $2 less than what I had planned to pay.

I haven't purchased amarays for a long time, but the great experience I had buying/receiving/admiring the Wrestler steelbook, the prospect of having P001 to put alongside P002 and this all-around thoughful artwork made me cave in. Plus, it's not that expensive : ~€31 (shipping included) when for some reason the beautiful digibook is expensive by French standards (€26.50, shipping incl.) :

Now, roll on I Saw the Devil, PA. :scat:

PS: So I didn't forget about this new Plain Archive exclusive, I made sure to have my wallpaper remind me :D :

Check your order number - the lowest order number for international orders was 2014-11904 and would then be numbered sequentially after that

My order was 11959, so 55th international order

I was like the 15th international customer. I hope I don't lose my position for low number due to their shipping charge error.

Ofcourse not. That would totally contradict their unique selling which they have been communicating everywhere.

That would be blasphemy because the underpayment shipping method was their fault to begin with.

;-)

Relax and just pay the invoice, I'm sure it won't effect the number order.

So what do we have to do? Do they send us an invoice by mail to be paid by paypal, or de we have to go directly on our paypal account, or will it be automatically charged on it?
 
I got my order in at 1 sec past 6am.....:hilarious:

So I should get a good number. But I actually don't care what number I end up with as having this beauty in my collection is what I'm excited about.......:naughty:

Chose k-Packet for shipping...:D

They send you an invoice with some additional information.

Click on the button PAY now and you'll be redirected to the PayPal website to pay.

I just received my invoice a couple minutes ago.

They are going through the orders by numeric order, you'll receive yours shortly.

Paid my invoice for the extra $5 (k- packet for the two items I ordered went from $12 to $17)- looks like the faster the shipping method you chose the larger the difference would be.

Doesn't really bother me too much as they have shown a great CS effort and while it's a little more for each of us could be a huge hit for them as a small company across hundreds of orders and we all thought it was cheaper than expected to start with. Feel like you have to cut them some slack in this case given their size/status as a new player here and their openness and honesty with the mistake is refreshing to me .

Hmm. Received invoice for $13 extra. Bit more than expected. Something very broken with PA's shipping estimates.

Its because it is charging international rates on the option you chose before, i.e. if you chose K-Packet before which was $6, then you will be sent an additional invoice for another $6, however if you chose a faster option then the invoice will be more. Just send PA an email asking to change the shipping option and they will send a revised invoice ;)
