Still have not receive my box-set I pre-ordered....any info?

Tumdace · October 02, 2011, 05:57:57 PM

Still havent received mine, hopefully this coming week, or I am gonna be super pissed and they are definately going to be hearing from me.

Tumdace · October 03, 2011, 09:37:56 AM

Actually I just received mine this morning...

I have to say, I'm a little underwhelmed at what was in it.

The logo on the slipmat is very faded, you can barely see it.

The litho is on paper, the way I read it was that it was a type of metal imprint. Maybe I was just expecting more? It seems like everything in there is not worth the 105 I paid.

I will not be buying future box sets from DT. Its just not worth the money IMO. I could have gotten the vinyl and CDs for much less and probably had them shipped to me in an actual timely manner.

Will not repeat.

Got mine last Friday. The package is pretty well put together. I guess you're paying the extra cash for the 'collectiveness' of it. I will be very wary about ordering directly from RR again though.

"Where is my boxset, why is it so late, hope the postman does not die.... "

Dreamer81 · October 07, 2011, 01:19:38 AM

an email from roadrunner arrived today saying:

I can confirm that your order has been dispatched on 07/10/2011.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in getting your order to you.

and other BS about the delivery time.

Guitalguy · October 08, 2011, 02:10:58 AM

I got mine yesterday. It's pretty cool, expect for a few things. The litho print isn't really that impressive, the contrast is really poor, and it doesn't have anything near the quality of the BCSL print. I have them both framed on my wall besides each other, and it looks pretty silly with the one being stunningly well printed, while the other looks like I could've used my own printer.

Also, the LPs with their sleeves don't fit very well in the cover. There's both ordinary paper sleeves and cool ones with the lyrics and all on them, but neither fit in the cover without pushing them really hard into it, or folding them a little.

Otherwise I'm happy, the 180gram LPs sound and look amazing, and the rest of the box set is well put together. I still don't think it was worth $105 + shipping costs, but it's cool nevertheless.

I am trying to get a refund because it is taking so long....if it shows up at my door after I get the refund ill reject it

lucky7 · October 09, 2011, 06:38:27 PM

Anyone in Australia received their copy yet?

I received the email from Roadrunner, not just waiting for that ..... and the Australia tour announcement!

It will be worth the wait...

I have a tracking number and my box set was here somewhere in Sydney since October 4 but still no box set. I already contacted roadrunner for a complaint.

Boognoss · October 10, 2011, 01:38:14 AM

Finally received mine today in Sydney Australia via USPS with tracking. I was never given a tracking number and the case I opening to request this on The Omega Order site was never actioned. Pathetic service and I'll be emailing Roadrunner to suggest that they use a distributor that is actually capable of handling the load.....

The set however is

Nice!!!

TherealAcameron · October 10, 2011, 02:57:16 AM

I'm in Aus and I only checked my Tracking info today! haha It's currently in Botany and should be here on Wednesday

dech2410 · October 10, 2011, 04:12:47 PM

I'm from the Netherlands, and still haven't got it. Kind of a shame...

nobloodyname · October 12, 2011, 04:03:07 AM

Mine turned up in the UK today. Damaged, exactly the same as my Opeth set, and not by shipping. Where is the quality control here?

Big clusterfuck on the orders here. RR really fucked up big time here.

Dreamer81 · October 13, 2011, 12:21:45 AM

arrived today, sadly no ticket for life

but the lyrics booklet isn't on the cd is it normal??

Rob801 · October 13, 2011, 05:27:18 AM

Still waiting for mine (in Denmark).

In all fairness there was a message when ordering that said it would be delayed 4-5 weeks... BUT, I got a mail (like many others) saying that it would be shipped at the beginning of last week. I can see that it was shipped but not when. There is a link to track my order but that doesn't work. If it's coming from the UK it usually doesn't take more than a few days max to arrive so it should have been here by now.

I'm starting to loose my patience

Victor Alexandrov · October 13, 2011, 05:37:02 AM

Nothing here still (Bulgaria).

Quarter_Cask · October 13, 2011, 06:29:09 AM

hehe, PRE-order my a**

indalo · October 13, 2011, 06:48:32 AM

Sent yesterday an email and they answered that my box was sent on 10/7 (why they didn't tell me? $:-\$ ).

Now I'm scared, I hope it to not be damaged (and I hope it to bring a ticket for life!!

)
