Tombstone (1993) (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Billy Talent
- Start date
They were a while ago. Maybe they have now run out of stock or have limited copies left that aren’t allocated for international shippingI know!! and just to matters worse, Amazon UK won't ship Tombstone to AU either...
fwiw, Zavvi AU have increased all prices by 10% across the board in the last week. If I wasn't so cynical, I'd say it's in response to Trump's tariff's... even though that scenario should have nothing to do with the UK to AU. Makes you wonder whether Zavvi are taking advantage of the situation?...
Yes I noticed this. Amazon did the same a few weeks ago so Zavvi’s prices align with them. It’s not getting any cheaper being a collector.fwiw, Zavvi AU have increased all prices by 10% across the board in the last week.

Oh they have stock all right... If I use one of my USA shipping addresses, it mysteriously becomes available ' shippable.
It was on Amazon AU a day or two ago shipping from Amazon UK. But checking today it’s now unavailable
I have seen it on eBay Australia for $99.95 not sure how desperate you were to get it but the price isn’t too bad considering it would have been $80 shipped from Zavvi.
Yeah, I saw that!.. No, not that desperate Haha!. I ended up pulling the trigger with Amazon Germany. That coupled with another blu-ray I've been after, has brought the price down to 38 EUR for Tombstone ($67 AUD) shipped. I can't complain about that.... BUT, I just have to cross my fingers that the steel will survive Amazon's paper thin "padded"
envelopes!! 
Oh Amazons packaging. TerribleYeah, I saw that!.. No, not that desperate Haha!. I ended up pulling the trigger with Amazon Germany.

I've found that, typically, items sent to me from AmazonDE and AmazonIT are packaged for survival. I have received items from AmazonUK that were in flimsy cardboard, but thankfully survived.
Best of luck to all Ninja's on their incoming steels.
Only region of Amazon that I got decent packaging from was Japan, every other region uses the same crap which won't protect it from anything.
I have been lucky though, the only order I can recall being damaged was Point Break from France, unfortunately no automatic returns so had to sort out my own postage which I then had to contact customer service to get refunded (don't ask me why this is better than them just automatically generating a postage label). Worst part was customs just refused it and it was sent back.
Anyone know what’s going on with zavvi?
Overseas customers or just Australia?
Has anyone had any issues lately with deliveries, about 3 weeks ago or so I contacted them why my dispatched orders was taking so long to track, after 10 days suddenly and me contacting them tracking was live next day.
I have one order that has had a dispatch from 18th April tombstone but I think officially it was not released till almost end of April? Maybe you can correct me on this.
But anyway since then my items that have been building up as dispatch yet none are tracking.
They told me they have been and yes I have messages to say they are with tracking numbers but FedEx tracking says in the tracking waiting to be picked up or in other words await from hut/zavvi same thing.
They have told me wait 24 hrs/72 hours and then similar again the other day.
And still nothing happening with the tracking.
Now they say FedEx is having trouble with there tracking service and hope to get work yes 24/48 hours and they also said it might not be trackable till goes through customs.
They are also asking me to wait till 16th may and if nothing changes to get in touch.
During this time they have sent two packages with Royal Mail which is not normally the case but it’s not certain packages it’s just random.
And why send more with FedEx if there are issues so basically my dispatch orders are building up but I have no idea if they are talking crap or not.
But for a good 9 months or more it’s always been FedEx and stuff arriving in a week sometimes longer and sometimes sooner but I can’t complain how quick they came.
But I do find it weird I had to chase up orders from a month back that no tracking was updating to suddenly was.
And now these are similar yet I have no proof they are actually on there way.
I am just curious if others was buying from them and getting a similar experience as this as never been heard of and I been buying from them a very long time.
Nothing worse you spend your money on there items but you feel your being messed around with.
Obviously if there are uk members here this will not affect you guys it’s more customers from other places or just me?
Thanks

You did not order this by zavvi by any chance? If so I have a story to tell I’m also waiting for mine from the 18th was ordered from day one, also with FedEx.
But I have also had a heap more orders not sent and I just got into FedEx who deals with it and where not saying much.
Both zavvi and FedEx was not say much at all on what was going on and it’s weird after me saying something some orders have officially been dispatched.
But not my tombstone which was purchased and so called dispatched from zavvi back in the 18th which I personally I don’t think was ever sent and FedEx said so that it was not picked up.
All my other newer orders was not picked up but zavvi full of excuses or telling me to wait why we are taking a week and much more on some and FedEx not really saying much.
But is it just luck or cause I got in touch with FedEx they are being picked up now, yet to see tombstone officially picked up no change yet.
Even some of my orders went with Royal Mail why did they not send all from there does it cost them more.
But I am getting fed up with them lately.
Thst reminds me I need to search another order see if that’s official dispatched.
I tried watching this the other night. Christ. This is exactly why I shouldn't panic blind buy, particularly with westerns (which is typically my least favourite genre, after musicals). It was so ****** boring. I had lost all interest at the 50min point and just gave up on it completely. Shame too, as the steel is really nice.
Watched it recently. I liked it.... But really didn't think it was worthy of the praise some were lavishing upon it.
Each to their own.
