If you pay online, be careful which browser you use. I used Safari on my tablet and it took the payment but didn't update the status of the delivery (I tried three times). It worked on Chrome and Royal Mail automatically refunded the other payments.

How did you get notified of the bill? I got no notification at all. I found out when I discovered a Royal Mail tracking link on the original tracking page.

Thanks. I did it through Edge and was fine. For me, I got a notification card through the door. I'll get mine on Monday!

I got a notification card through the door today, two days after the local parcel office received the package.

Would be great if there was a UK based Prince Store to save us being stung by extra charges.

I guess the box sets are all made in USA?

Rockitpoole is a UK store that focuses on Prince, but I believe they only got on cause it was limited.

Got it. Downloaded the tracks. 320 mp3 only, but I'm happy regardless.

One postcard for me too. Lucky those who got more.

I must be the only one among all the 1987 ones who didn't receive yet the box. As I paid, I just received only a bill from Paypal nothing from the Estate or Musictoday. I chased twice through the site: no answer so far.

I wait a little while (as the item is a collector) before complaining through Paypal to get my money back....

Just received it!!!! So excited. eek

It specifically said which company was making them when they were announced, and a couple of weeks ago the Estate posted a video of the box sets being made.

But you can only "guess".

Got mine aswell...I haven’t opened it yet but I can only imagine that
I got a really cool number like 319 or 7.
I got the 13 lp Super Deluxe too which i’ve been waiting for this evening to open with a nice glass of Cab Sav 🧐

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

It’s a lovely box set for sure.
Just played them through and will keep it safely boxed away.

I agree the Hot Thing\Hot Thing single seems like a pointless addition for the music, but it does complete the singles set
In Housequake the “Bulls**t!” is edited out which is a really weird thing to do
There is a tiny bit of crowd noise from IGBABN at the beginning of Adore
The vinyl is a marbled peach rather than a solid peach colour like the 2LP SOTT
Witness Version 1 has the 1,2,3 count at the very end
