Hopefully the delivery from HMV will be similarly swift and they had enough with the lenticular insert to still be able to ship them out.

I knew I said I wasn't too bothered about the limited edition , but screw it, I just ordered it from HMV. Should have it by the weekend.

Good call, Nos - there was simply no excuse; if HMV and Amazon are shipping early, then Zavvi should have been as well: unless there's a stock problem or a period specified for shipping, if the item has been pre-ordered and it's not shipped out by 9 am on the date of the release, then the etailer is not worth its salt. One cannot take any chances with a release like this; take the BFI's Deep End as a similar example. Its three disc set is also limited to 1000 copies - it's now no longer available on Amazon and HMV already has a waiting period.

HMV are terrific with regards to quick dispatches, except if it's over the weekend.

I don't know why I didn't order with HMV in the first place as the pre-orders I've had with them have always arrived on the Thursday or Friday before release. I suppose it was because I had a 10% voucher which took the price down to about £9.20 but money doesn't mean anything if you're never going to receive the DVD!

Nemesis · #**136** 19th July 2011, 07:59 PM

To be fair, vouchers are a really good incentive; who would not want to get it for the best price? But not even shipping it by the afternoon of the release date is pure laziness. I don't know how they work and what their position is on stocks - did they even order any in to have ready for release date? Amazon and HMV are understandable; particularly HMV, as it's online and stores are bread and butter sales for Shameless. Did Zavvi take the cavalier attitude such as "Well, Unknown is the big seller for the week; let's focus on that and to hell with everything else!"? It would not surprise me.

My preorder from Amazon arrived today, which surprised me. As me being a cheapskate I used free delivery, which sould have arrived Friday or Saturday
