OK so wasn't this, Wolf Creek and Mockingjay supposed to ship today, my cc haven't been touched at all ???

 

[paulboland]

I cancelled my order
I have bills some big ones to pay and I also will be ordering Zero Dark Thirty tonight

Its listed as Sold Out at the moment but that's due to them not getting any stock yet so it will come back available to purchase

I will get this at a later stage when price drops to around €12.99

It can wait for now

Has anyone had their copy of this shipped at all yet? It's now Friday and still nothing. Zavvi need to get their act together - if they can't cope with so many releases in one week, then why do they bombard us with so many releases in the first place? We should have these items in our hand on or before the day advertised, not "whenever they feel like shipping after that date" which seems to be the norm lately!

 

[javiermendoza]

I'm still waiting for them to dispatch it.
My credit card still hasn't been charged.

 

[Heche1981]

Best thing we can all do is put complaints in. There's clearly something going on here behind the scenes. Zavvi fallen out with two more studios, I wonder? They've already upset 20th Century FOX and clearly Arrow aren't as cosy with Zavvi as they were a year ago...

If this were a pool party, Zavvi would be that one arrogant guy everybody hates, but everyone hangs around with because he's rich or on the football team

@Heche1981 where exactly are you getting your info from?
or this is you guessing because they have not shipped steels to you upon release date?

sorry to say its just zavvi not shipping at least till release date also i have bought steels on a friday instock not till be shipped till the following monday at 4.30pm in the afternoon from where i'm sitting they have just limited there shipping hours and no longer work the weekends its that simple!

I dont think this was ever going to be released on the 16th, it only went live a week back, just another Zavvi date screwup. It has gone the same way as all other delayed titles though, ie now showing as sold out, which i'm pretty certain this is not. I really don't know why Studiocanal are still persuing this zavvi tie up, it's clear that there steels just aren't popular, 2000 print runs just are no longer a selling point.

 

[javiermendoza]

I just hope this title doesn't meet the same destiny as American Psycho.
Don't want to buy that awfully overpriced Japan version or Kimchi release.

This excuse doesn't explain why 71, Horns, Mockingjay pt1 have all been released a week ago (71 was 2 weeks ago.! ) and Zavvi never shipped those, and a lot of us have a feeling something is most definately up with Studiocanal and Lionsgate at this time.

Also Wolf Creek was March 16 and on Monday its Sleepy Hollow, lets see if that gets shipped....

 

[TonyStark64]

So can NOBODY here find out from Zavvi what the hell is happening with this steelbook!!!!!

was just thinking again maybe there is? reason i say this is mockingjay pt1 i ordered from amazon and it duely turned up, the only thing that comes to mind maybe zavvi are on credit with them all and maybe its been run up till end of march as a suggestion and new fiancial year starts in april. so they pay them off then as a thought?
but at the moment i can appreicate peoples frustration they have ordered and stuffs not turning up but where i'm coming from the shipping the last few weeks has been exceedingly poor to the point i even bought a steel instock (the hunger games catching fire lionsgate) on friday morning they didn't ship till follwing monday afternoon.
last studiocanal steel i had was the imitation game and was shipped on release day and turned up 2 days later so for that release was ok.
I just think people got two choices here either live with what is happening here which is not good admittely or vote with your feet and cancel your orders and say ups yours zavvi it that simple but for say the sake a week or two i think people maybe biting off there nose to spite there face here. this is zavvi we all know how bad they can be but will it change no not really.
