Sometimes those orders ship and sometimes they don't. I would contact Zavvi about it.

Every time I place an order now I check it a few minutes later to see if goes to "processing" (orange) or stays as "placed" (blue). If it still says "placed" then I place a new order and then cancel the previous order. Usually orders change from "placed" to "processing" immediately.

I realize of course this may be a problem for some who get in with discount codes and then the codes don't work a few minutes later but that isn't a problem for me.

Agreed. When I ordered 2 Phantom Menace steelbooks it immediately want to orange (processing). After they shipped the first of the two it changed to blue (order placed) and they never shipped the second one. I couldn't even cancel it because I was told by customer service the warehouse had shipped it even though I was never charged and never got a dispatch notice. Whatever actually happened their system seems to be a mess so if it is "order placed" blue then I would cancel and reorder.

I tried contacting them about it the other day and I got a cookie-cutter reply and them telling me the release date.

I've messaged them again. I am sick to death of this sh*tty company.

This is still in stock so I would suggest cancelling your order and placing a new order.

Strange, I just checked my account & am not showing this preordered. I definitely remember preordering it, I have a preorder on the 13th but its for The Last Jedi, my account is showing that preordered twice.
