Alright guys, how fucked is this? I just dug the box out of the recycling bin. The postmark is dated JUNE 25TH. Dickfaces said they shipped it on the 17th!!!

Fuck CM.


Gee, that sounds fucking familiar. But oh, there was a warehouse backup, so really, all should be forgiven despite flat out lies and not notifying the customer unless YOU contact THEM. Read Internet sarcasm.

Anyway, going home from work here in a few hours to see if it arrived. Crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.

My CDs didn't arrive today, which means that it will be two weeks before I actually get my hands on physical copies of the albums, since I'll be out of this state until Sunday, and Monday is a holiday. :cry:

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Still don't have squat. At this point it's just comical. I've never sen a company this inept ever. I too won't be home until tuesday, which is awesome, two weeks from release date that I will, hopefully, get it.

To put this ridiculousness in perspective, I ordered something from overstock.com, also bases in California like CM Distro, a week ago today. It shipped on Saturday. I received it today. 4 business days from when it shipped. I think that's all I need to say.

I find it funny when people inside the US flip their shit with this kind of stuff.
Add 2 extra weeks of unavoidable Mexican Customs inefficiency to anything you might be expecting and that's what I'll take to get here.

Just an example, my radiohead album shipped on April 20, it finally arrived this saturday, June 25th.

That sucks ass indeed. But I think people from the US have a right to flip their shit, when it ships from within their own country, with no customs or hurdles to go through...they simply did not ship the units on time. There is no excuse for that. Unless they sold so many that they had to wait for more to be printed....then that's ok!

I hope you don't have to wait too long though.

I understand completely, it also strikes to me as particularly annoying when the BIGEST SELLING RELEASE for them is delayed by warehouse and storing, especially since its their..um....BIGEST SELLING RELEASE!
Otherwise my albums will be stuck in customs limbo.

Got mine today....though cmdistro's backlog bs email....if you sell it, you'd better have it. I want it the day of or before. Not well after the first weeks sales have been revealed.

Though it begs the question...why preorder when Itunes sells bonus tracks. Shouldn't everyone wait for physical copies in a box set, and just get the music with bonuses right off? Whats the point in buying a cd early, when you get it late and with less stuff?

Samesies. Fuck, this is comical. Cue angry email to CMDistro and a resolution never to buy anything from them again.
You know what? I am only going to buy Cds from now on by strolling purposefully into a shop and partaking in a good old exchange of cash and product. We in AU get a pretty bad hand when it comes to mailing.

I wish I could do that. However, unless I want the latest Lady Gaga or Nickleback, I am screwed in this town! *sigh*

Got my two packages finally yesterday. I already complained to Insideoutmusic last weekend. They never replied, so I just hope they got it. At least they did deliver eventually. So far, I've never received preorders in time (whatever they happen to be). The retailers here got the albums 4 days after release which was still way before I got my preorders. Very annoying. End of rant, now enjoy...

EDIT: Ordered from Insideoutshop.de, not CMDistro.

Lol still nothing here. It's cool, the albums have only been out in the shops for two weeks... :lol:

Sometimes it does suck living in Australia, seems we are at the butt end of the world in terms of the postal system. Great country otherwise. :D

Lossless audio. An absolute must for Decon and Ghost.

I'm sure I could have purchased them from local record stores on the day of release. It was the special 7" vinyl single that sucked me into pre-ordering. Which, turns out to be, a pretty cool item...especially if I can get Dev to sign it somehow.
