Anyone in EUrope got the DVD yet?

I paid at midday on Tuesday (which would be early morning over in America) and I've not had it yet (Thursday 15th). Let's see what those Music Today scumbags can do. duh

I take it you're joking. confuse

But having said that I've ordered one copy from the club and another from amazon just to see which one gets here first.

International orders don't have any options for shipping. Just International Shipping (e.g. DHL Bulk) so it could be anything from 2-4 weeks...

Regards,

Well, today I got a package from Music Today! It was the 'NEWS' cd which ordered on the 6th. That's 12 days. Will my DVD arrive before the official release date next Monday? The tension mounts! Anyway, the NPGMC retail is very reasonably priced. I think 14 quid for a DVD from the US of A is a very fair price!

I ordered the Vegas DVD on August 12th and that day I got an e-mail telling me that "order is being processed and will be shipped promptly". I thought "promptly" means August 12th. That is what I was also hoping that would happen because as an European NPGMC Member I always have to wait very long for my orders. So I thought my order was on my way the whole last week. But 18th August I received another e-mail telling me that my "order has been shipped ". So I asked MusicToday if that mean that my order was lying around a whole week somewhere by them and first shipped on August 18th? Ant they told me: According to the records, your order shipped on 8/17/03. I apologize for the delay.
How can they do that??? So my DVD was lying around by them a whole week and they tell that I should wait another 2-4 weeks for it! Is it not a SCANDAL now???!!!

Musictoday was in the middle of switching over 2 a faster shipping plan 4 Europe last week, and chances r, a couple of u ordered b4 the fast plan was in effect. The delay actually worked in ur favor, because now ur goods will take less time 2 get there, over all. They also said they had so many orders they could not fill them all within 24 hours, and that is part of the reason some shipments went out a little later. At any rate, the dvds r on the way now.

So I write this:
Dear PP 8
so U think that it is OK 2 say
“orders will be fulfilled right away - no waiting!” (from the original NPGMC e-mail, 08/12/03)
or
“All DVDs will be ready 2 ship on the same day u place ur order so don't hesitate 2 get this one.” (from the original NPGMC e-mail, 07/22/03)
and then do NOT ship the order all week (order 08/12/03 – shipment 08/18/03)?
I have never complained before and always got my orders quite fast (except 4 NEWS – here I waited 5 weeks!!!) but this time it is just not right.

I have never had any problems with shipping from NPGMC. They say 2-4 weeks in the email just to cover themselves. In reality it takes about a week 2 come from the US to the UK. Got the dvd on Saturday morning. Perfect.

Hi all,

I got it today (Aug 25th) in The Netherlands. Again, no problems with NPGMC shippings (in fact I'm pretty happy with it).

Marc.
