Re: Not the nine o’clock news signed set
My signed set turned up just now. Demon records / Amazon Sticker on front of outer protective box says xxx of 107. I guess 18 are being held back somewhere. Anybody else got the same sticker?
Mine didn’t have that sticker…
Is the new Pink Floyd going to be released in smaller versions with a couple of years in each like the previous one?
Remains (heh) to be seen but as of this release there are no plans for it to be.
Wham is currently unavailable on Amazon.
Meanwhile my Go-Betweens set remains missing in action with Domino claiming it was sent and DPD saying they didn’t get it. Neither seems willing or able to do anything about this, leaving me somewhat unimpressed, particularly given it now looks like it’s available for £25 less than the pre-order price I paid upfront some time ago.
Julian – same here re: Go-betweens. Between dpd, ochre and domino no one has bothered to get in touch with me despite nu.erous efforts. Ochre have messed up before on orders from other labels so it could be them, but on this occasion it seems to be them all. I really hope our missing ones didnt have one of Grant’s books included….
DPD is the worst. Lost my limited editions Stereolab LP reissues and basically did nothing to correct it.
Same here regarding the Go-Betweens Box, I also ordered as soon as it became available from Domino.
DPD say they haven`t received the package an email I received from Domino on 05/12/19 says it`s been shipped.
I contacted Domino this morning and got a reply a couple of hours later. Domino say they are on to DPD and asks me to let them know if I received the package before they get back to me.
This indicates to me that the courier DPD are at fault here because it seems Domino have sent out the box sets.
Golden Age – I went through this with Domino yesterday. At one point yesterday they said if I didnt receive it yesterday, they would send a replacement out today. Today they have said if I don’t receive it today, they will send a replacement tomorrow. Domino have said they are ‘pushing’ DPD as hard as they can from their side – but there doesnt seem to be any commitment to actually saying when they will send out a replacement, or even if they are close to finding where the missing package is [lord knows what state it might be in if it does turn up]. Its a pretty poor effort all round and the lack of information from Domino ]other than lets wait and see if turns up and maybe tomorrow we’ll post another out] is very frustrating. I mean they can’t be small boxes…
Bruce – They haven’t even mentioned the possibility of a replacement to me, although today I asked outright at what point they would send a replacement or refund my money. I just get the mantra about doing everything they can. What this might be is unclear, but clearly doesn’t involve either replacing or refunding.
I’m in the same boat; DPD are awaiting it and Domino think they’ve dispatched it.
DPD delivered my copy on the release date of 06/12. I’ve never had a problem with them and have received many other items from them on time.
They usually email and text you when they will deliver, which I think is good service, so you have a 2 hour or so delivery window.
I live in Dublin so maybe it’s a problem with DPD in Britain?
I hope the above commenters get their boxes as it’s a fantastic set.
I pre-ordered from Domino in the hope of being one of the 400 who got a book but sadly I wasn’t lucky. I also ordered from them to be guaranteed the box and not worry about it selling out on Amazon or elsewhere.
I still haven’t received anything , nor received any indication from Domino that they will either send a replacement or refund my money. Whether it is Domino or DPD at fault is ultimately immaterial. It is for Domino to resolve and they hitherto shown little inclination to do so.
As much as I like my vinyl, that police box set is very expensive especially compared to the cd as I picked it up on 6cds for £13 in Sainsbury’s!
Vinyl half speed mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell.
