I’m surprised that Amazon is being so slow.Can’t see why a Prime member who pre-ordered it awhile back,won’t get it until the 29th Importcds shipped my order out really fast.

EVERY Amazon order of a Prince set has been a week late, which is why I ordered from the Estate this time. That's failing, too.

Same situation here. I ended up changing to the "non-free" shipping to get it by the 29th of this month instead

Mine is coming from the estate. I got an email yesterday that I shipped, but USPS hasn't updated yet. Label was created. I pre-ordered straight away, so if there's a chance they're going in some first-come-first-ship order, maybe that's why. Anyway, I expect to have it by Monday or Tuesday. Just a guess.

the MP3s leaked, so I can at least listen for now.

I ordered here too. mine says the label was printed on the 22ns in VA, waiting to ship.

That’s what I don’t understand.Why are there so many delivery delays?

I find this curious. Have you all forgotten about COVID?

You guys ordering from ImportCDs? Have you used them before? Do they avoid colossal tax charges?

I have ordered from ImportCDs many times with no problems.The sales tax for SOTT SDE was $11.99.

My total bill (including expedited shipping) was $141.63....considerably cheaper than Amazon and some of the other places.

yeah,I know that the Covid-19 crisis means there may be some delays.But other sellers (ImportCDs and Barnes and Noble) are getting their orders out pretty quickly.

Might not be that much cheaper once you've paid the customs charges. Assuming you're not in the USA or Canada.

Bought the vinyl super deluxe from amazon.co.uk as a Prime member. When I 'track package' it simply says "Order received" and "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date". WTF?! The estimated delivery date on the product page now states that delivery would be between October 14th - November 17th. Oh well.

I pre-ordered the CD SDE from Amazon in June the morning it was briefly and mistakenly listed, then removed. A few days ago, I started getting notifications about a delivery date of September 29...

...then I realized I could save $40 via Deep Discount, so cancelled Amazon and ordered from there this week. USPS label has been created, it's started the process, and I assume it will take a week or so like most DD orders to me to CA (DD ships from KY). I've waited decades, I can wait a few more days.

oh yeah...those customs charges can be insane

For future Super Deluxe Editions,I don't think I'll be buying from Amazon.They don't seem to realize that fans want these sets ASAP ....as close to the release date as possible!

Ordered on Amazon IT July, Amazon in August delayed shipping to 29 september, so I aborted the order and buy it 24 september in a little music store (but I payed it more, around 170 €, cd version)

My Amazon UK order is showing as dispatched and due by 9pm. I'll have 12 inches of peach in my hands before the day is out.

I ordered the deluxe vinyl in June. Still no delivery date : (

My Amazon UK order now has an estimated delivery window of 11:45 - 2:45.

Well, my Amazon tracking shows it arrived at the Luton 'Final delivery station', 30 minutes from my house at 5.30AM. However, at 10.54AM, its now gone 2 hours north and is sitting in Derby at an 'Amazon Facility'.

I pre-ordered 25th June. Was told by Amazon both the Vinyl SDE and Peach 12" were delayed to the 29th September.

Imagine my joy when they were dispatched and then turned up today as originally promised.
