CD Shipments (US)

[Nox]

Okay so I'm not sure if this is really a relevant topic or not but. Feel free to delete this thread if it's not important.

I had preordered the UMAP soundtrack from Amazon, imported through US Amazon. I can't afford shipping from France or I would've just gone with that.

However, the day after it was supposed to have come out, I received an email from Amazon that was something like "We're sorry, your thing isn't available. If you still want to try to order it, you have to say so." And now, it says the status is "Not in stock; order now and we'll deliver when available." Ok what does that mean are you going to give it to me or what

A person on Tumblr said she ordered it through Best Buy, and they simply told her they were backordered, but could get it to her in a week or so.

So I guess, has this happened to anyone before? Is anyone else in this position? Does this mean they'll simply cancel on me on down the road, or what? Is there a better place to order it through that is as inexpensive, but definitely has it in stock? I'm pretty disappointed, since I would much rather buy this CD than pirate it for once.

I would just cancel and go through Best Buy but I have Amazon Student and free shipping.

Yeah, I placed my order with amazon but they're not charging me until they get it in stock.

You know what I think the problem is? I think they got the release date for the cd wrong, and so none of the places have it yet. 'Cause there was something about the national release date in one of the videos (i think, anyway) and it was actually supposed to be released in early october. I'll have to go back and check, but I'm pretty sure I saw something like that.

That makes sense. Now that I think about it, I think you're right. Something like digital release in September?

Oh man now I feel silly lkasjfdlksdf

Edit: Yes, I checked the amazon.fr site, and the release date for the physical CD is October 3. I feel so dumb; I shouldn't have worried over nothing.

Well at least now I don't feel so left out! 8D I'd been a lazy bum and hadn't pre-ordered the CD (I think I'll do that tomorrow...). Checked it the day after release, saw it was out of stock, and was all "Aww! Those lucky bishes! :<"

Lulz, but seriously it sucks that there are issues with this. D:




EDIT: OH, I see now. Funny that they did it like that. Moar waiting ftl. T~T
