Ordered! Yeah, that address field limits to 60 characters...Pain in my Avatar's butt

Well done Hub - even I need to ask my friend in China to help in order/payment.

Did you pay already? by credit card?

 

[TobinFrost]

I do not know how you do, but for me it is impossible to operate outside of China.

Yeah, CC...It's says PayPal but it's linked to a CN version which can only be linked to a CN bank I believe. Confusing as hell

I ended up paying by credit card > other > visa. Seems to be sold out now though! Anyone have to pay postage overseas or is it free?

Says free shipping but the way that site works, I doubt it

So is November 15th when they will finally ship all the steelbooks?

 

[blackberry]

You dont get the goodies buying from that site either. What is it without the goodies. terrible

The taobao site is actully the official blufans.com selling channel. Whether you get goodies for this release depends on when you made the preorder. Only those before 10th March will get a booklet.

The free shipping applies to China buyers. Because in China the courier service can be paid by the receiver.

For Overseas case, I guess you will need to contact the seller and make the arrangement.

Blufans.com promised that all Steelbooks will be shipped out within 10 days from 15th Nov. If it is dispatched beyond 24th Nov, your copy of Rio will be free.

They learnt from the experience of My Farewell Concubine where it took months to dispatch the 1000 copies! They are confident that this time it will be much smoother....

That is good information to know but if this is true then why were there GBs if you could just order directly from taobao?

Because not everyone knows all the detailed information in regards to when to pre-order. The language is in Chinese and the online translation is not great. The release date was constantly delayed. In other words it would be easier to join the GB, pay a small fee and have this shipped for your peace of mind.

TDKR SG can be ordered online but most chose to order from the GB - it's just easier.

Taobao doesn't ship to Australia anyway :/

Just a word of caution if you are buying through taobao.
This is something like eBay, but this china eBay is a lot vulnerable than eBay.
Only buy from those you know or recommended from a friend, else be prepared to lose your money. The payment by international cc just started not long ago, this is meant for those bigger establishment that ships oversea. But most of them charge overprice shipping rate as they have limited access to ships overseas and tax issues.
I'm not sure if you are ordering direct from that link will be taken care of, if you guys had ordered and need any help to check on your order, I can help you guys up by contacting the mod that handle this sales.
I usually make my payment using Alipay (like PayPal), this method will be protected by taobao (just like eBay). If there is any issues or you do not reply with a item received notice, the buyer won't get the money. Have not tried the cc option and I won't, as I myself not confident that the information is well protected..

Yes be very careful buying from Taobao. You don't always get what you think you paid for. Alipay should be the only way to pay incase something goes wrong. I've been stung too many times and I no longer buy from there.

Blufans is no problem of course.

 

[Tbryson880]

Can't wait to get this exclusive. It's so worth the wait!!

 

[Torrance]

But for who bought this steel in March through GB ( like me ), who send out ?

 

[blu-steel]

All I can say is every copy of mine better include the booklet.

 

[vonnie]

All I can say is every copy of mine better include the book.
