Guess who has no shipping confirmation despite being promised to have it by the (past) weekend? Gave them an extra day on top to honor their promise. Foolish me.
This is just ridiculous.
Even if they were to release the most improbable (One Two Three) of my all time favorites in the best possible packaging, I still wouldn't buy from them ever again. I'm done with them and I seriously consider just writing off the money, because I really don't want to waste another second on them.
Last you'll hear from me on this matter.
Hang on a tad longer and let me try something.
As an impartial observer (lol) I've the notion to drop EBlu a line to ask him to come on here briefly again to gather info on any unfulfilled orders and fulfil them before the end of this week.
Waste of time? Possibly . . . but, as they say, nothing ventured nothing gained.
Remember it's not over till the fat lady sings (and please no gifs of singing fat ladies).
Will report back if any response received or not if the man comes on here again.
Thank you

Regarding those two boxes above:
As a casual observer I can't imagine anyone would say hand on heart that the Blubox is as badly put together as the one next to it.
The Blubox looks to be in another class and a true premium box . . . it has a better finish with more special effects and the book like underside and topside is undeniably very cool.
The padded interior lining - which the other doesn't appear to have - is a brilliant touch but deceptive at the same time making it look like there's way too large a gap when in reality there isn't (and that's going by comments from people that have unsealed their copies). It seems that the padding inside is way inside and does not extend all the way out to the entrance lip but that it does indeed hold the slips securely in place - not too tight a fit and at the same time not too loose. We all know what a hassle it can be when slips are too tight and you have to almost shake the slip a la Tom Cruise mixing a cocktail to get the friggin steelbook out of its case and pray that it doesn't fly across the room . . .
The other box looks to me more like one of those bog standard boxes you might buy as part of an Amaray boxset collection.
