Here's something that's made me very happy. From the PR company -

Latest update from Zavvi

Still waiting on finalised artwork.

The finishes are overall matte varnish, except for a spot UV gloss on Mark and Dwayne on the front cover.

There’s a pantone red on their names on the front cover, and emboss on the title treatment.

Confirmed as 1000 units only and from the traffic and questions we are getting, think this will only last a couple of days at the most before selling out.

I've been canceled! Wow, thought I had it.

Why??

 

[nantais]

I've been canceled! Wow, thought I had it.

a payment problem? or a problem with stock?

 

[Scarface]

it will be a stock problem, zavvi messed up and took more orders than they should have

 

[nantais]

hope my order won't be cancelled

 

[dipzy]

I got a dispatch notification the same day the steel went live again on their site.

My guess is that those who didn't get a notification, might not get their copy

 

[npeacock85]

I just checked mine and seems to have dispatched so hopefully it has

Didn't get my despatch notice until the day after it went live, so that was New Years eve.

 

[Bluprint]

Why??

a payment problem? or a problem with stock?

I didn't get a email or anything I just went to check the status and it was gone so I checked my order history hoping to see dispatched and to my Effin surprise it said order canceled!

 

[Young Banks]

I mistyped my credit card number, I corrected it but it's still says "processing".
I guess that's bad!

 

[ocielz]

Got mine today
\m/(^_^)\m/

 

[smcbeath]

That's mine arrived from my order the other day. They have ran out of boxes, came in one padded jiffy and a bigger normal envelope. My steel appears to be in perfect condition, thought it might have been the scratched and dented left overs. Also got team America and starships troopers, not a bad day.

 

[RBD]

I also got my dispatch notification almost instantly. Mine is yet to arrive.

Thanks for the info about the packaging, smcbeath. That's a bit worrying. Were all three in the same jiffy bag?

 

[smcbeath]

Each steel was separate, my mistake though both the big and small envelopes were jiffy, so double protection per steel. The packaging probably cost more than starships troopers

I wonder how they managed to run out of boxes, I guess that it is an easy mistake, right

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

This is how mine arrived this morning

I could probably rustle up a dozen boxes from my recycling bin if they are that desperate.

Let's pray to the jiffy gods that everyone's steels arrive in perfect condition.

EDIT: Just got two deliveries from Zavvi. P&G was double jiffy bagged as expected, but doesn't appear to be damaged. 13 Assassins arrived in a card envelope only and the shrink wrap was torn in places. Not good. I'm going open both to inspect for damage.

Keep hold of your packaging, you might find it handy if you trade/sell a steelbook in the future, dont throw it in your Recycling its expensive to buy. I keep all boxes and bubble wrap to use again. just a little tip

 

[D4vem88]

Mine arrived this morning. I may have snagged the last steelbook box for it as my Monsters University arrived in a double Jiffy bag. Both mint though.

 

[jitstark]

Ordered two. Both have a ding in them. Things can't be that bad for Zavvi that they can't invest in some better packaging.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Are people suggesting that maybe the copies that went back up for sale we're mostly damaged copies anyway and that Zavvi are covering it up by shipping them in Jiffys??

 

[stevien]

Mine arrived in a double Jiffy too, but appears to be minty mint.
