Buying MiC in the UK

[Micha]

But it looks to me as though the UK release is a week behind the US one for some reason (but the German one isn't, inexplicably for another country in the EU...!).

Hey, the UK doesn't really act like they're also in the EU, do they?

Hope you'll get MIC before the weekend in spite of that.

Oh mate, I'm sorry, truly.

When did you order just for interests sake? Mine was July 19th. Maybe it's to do with that.

Anyway, if you're near York you're more than welcome to come and hear it tomorrow. As long as you're not actually Liam Gallagher

Hey Micha... you ever heard about the (possibly apocryphal) old UK newspaper headline? "Fog In Channel: Continent Cut Off". That kind of says it all...!

As I have noted here, I got my set on Tuesday afternoon. So ordering from Amazon Germany absolutely paid off for me. I cancelled my Amazon UK order early yesterday morning, so I won't be paying twice!

As I noted in the same post above, the whole thing is ridiculous, but six discs of Wilson-led wonderfulness are brilliant compensation. Finding myself alone in the house and with the neighbours away on holiday this week, I blasted the set earlier for a good while, LOUD. It sounds great!

I ordered 19th July too! But sadly I'm nowhere near York. I can hold off the temptation to source otherwise til monday, I CAN DO THIS.

If we ordered the same day, how on earth can they justify yours taking another 3 days???

Asked about MIC in my local HMV this morning, was told that it's out on Monday 2nd September, it would retail at £74.99, but they weren't ordering any stock because all orders with Universal are currently suspended

Amazon or Sainsbury's it is then, failing a decent independent...

[leggo of my ego]

Not Yet Dispatched

they must be holding out to see if I'll cancel since they gave that low price for just a little while.

Same xD

Still showing as dispatching now, delivery estimate is still 30th August. I also ordered mine on 19th July, why are we all getting different information?

Maybe it all depends upon the time of day we ordered. Or Something. I dunno. I blame it on Bob Dylan.

Same here. I've told my boss I'm, ahem, working from home in the morning

Only 11hrs until postie arrives.

I Dunno either. Are you in the UK? I'm not so maybe Amazon UK is taking care of the natives first.

Why does the Uk citizen not get preference Give the younger ones reasons to stay [I ain't goin' anywhere anyhow]

[SonoraDick]

I'm in the US. Order placed July 19.

"Not yet dispatched. DELIVERY ESTIMATE MONDAY 9 SEP 2013 - FRIDAY 13 SEP 2013".

ha ha, well the UK citizen gets it quicker by virtue of living closer to Amazon UK distribution centers I would think. If US citizen
were given preference my product would have been mailed last week, so apparently that's not happening. I knew the penalty
for ordering like I did but there is some "consolation" available for those that wish to, ahem, seek it out -

[Paulos]

Dispatch notice received!

[mikeddonn]

I ordered mine on the 21st of July.  It's not yet dispatched with delivery estimate 5-7th of September.  I got my Smile Sessions delivered on the release day. I was hoping this would be the same.

Cool, so I didn't hope in vain!

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Mine's here. Fantastic book and photos. Just about to slip in disk 1 whilst I make breakfast. Happy days.

[The Shift]

Mine's coming from Sainsbury's despatched yesterday. Waiting to answer the knock on the door and find Jamie Oliver standing there, demanding to know what I feed my kids before he'll hand it over…

[Matt Bielewicz]

Yeah, John, if you've got any Turkey Twizzlers in the house, your copy of MiC goes straight in the shredder...!
