Expecting Rain

In Singapore. FedEx tell me delivery will be on Monday 13th.
I ordered via bobdylan.com and never expected it any earlier tbh.
Expectations are the killer.

I was in HMV yesterday, I saw the 2CD set retailing for £17.99 but left it on the shelf as I had a footie match to go to. There was no evidence to suggest that they had the de-luxe set in. They usually put a dummy card in with the regular CD's and you have to ask at the counter. Perhaps they had sold out of that format?

Sony, Sony
Can you tell me when it's coming
Maybe next week, next month or something
Seems you always been this way to me
Just what kind of friend is this, Sony?

Sony, Sony
Do you know when it's arriving?
How long will you be conniving?
There's just no comfort here, you see
Why must you bust my balls, Sony?

There's an idiot wind still blowing all around my neck
I'll deserve an iron cross after your delivery dreck
There's an oldies band still playing that Sinatra stuff
But please forgive me, I've had enough

Sony, Sony
I can hear that rolling wagon
With a parcel and a bag on
But I can't see your package there for me
Please contact me now, my dear Sony

Well, the last ones you thought about when you announced this deal
Was that shitload of fools whose dough you planned to steal
I'm a broken man, my spirit won't sing
And I can't be satisfied til I receive this thing

Sony, Sony
Your heart's as hard as leather
While I'm rolling through the stormy weather
I don't even wanna stay onboard
The sooner I'm off I'll thank the Lord

Sony, Sony
Well, do me a favour honey
Reimburse my money
My resentment for you is so strong
Don't know why I've waited for so long

Great, we're living in the city and you've received tracking info and I haven't. What did I do to deserve this preferential treatment, I wonder?
Surely a pre-order should ensure getting the thingy on release date, otherwise what's the funking point (besides the bonuses)? I've could have bought it at the record store (sans San Diego) already.
They should have at least been upfront about the delay when they clearly were ridiculously unprepared. Oh, well, I'll have to wait until the week after next one then.

It still doesn't make sense that you got a tracking number with no info. If they're doling out dysfunctional tracking infos they could have handed them out to everyone as well (since they are clearly not waiting for the tracking number to actually do their job to send).

I wanted mine to arrive on release day and save some money, hence I ordered TNM through Amazon. It arrived in release day and I saved some money.

Pre-ordered the deluxe (plus San Diego) from bd.com. All I got on release day was a tracking number which still doesn't exist as of Sunday... So, for now, trouble remains...

You are not alone in non-existent tracking numbers, not that that is going to make you feel any better.

So, has anyone in the EU actually received their package from bd.com yet?

This made my day. Superb.

thanks!

My slow train has still not made it around the bend. In fact, there's no sign of it at all. Thanks Sony.

Sonny...

I have a very angry e-mail drafted which I'll send unless I get some proper tracking confirmation first thing monday morning... They'll be shaking in their expencive boots alright...
I wish there was a pact in which no-one listened to it until every single person who pre-ordered got their copy.

I'm having much the same experience as yourself. Hopefully, it'll all work out eventually, but it is a bad show.

Update: After first posting this I had another go at BobDylan.com, managed to register, log in and discover the status of my order.

Result: On this late hour of the fifth day of November 2017, 'unfulfilled'.

Well, neither am I.

I’m in US. Same unacceptable nonsense.

At their best, they are likely selling in the tens of thousands of the deluxe set. They knew the number of orders, and the release date. Apple ships millions of phones from China on release date. This was not a difficult logistical exercise. Gross incompetence.

I'm in a quite rural part of the world and buy a lot of things on Amazon. I've always found them very reliable. They have strict protocols and enforce them rigidly on their sellers, in my experience. I would have bought the set for sure on Amazon, but I want that San Diego show, so I have to pay a little price.

Preordered in the U.S. in September with 2 day shipping. Got tracking information on Nov. 1. Seems to have actually been sent on Nov. 3. Estimated delivery date is Nov. 9. Not ideal but that'll work.

Nothing on BobDylan.com even acknowledging the issue. They need to get out in front of this.

What I really think is "not going to happen."

What I'd like to think is "hey we will be getting JWH outtakes as a digital download as an apology and goodwill measure."

I ordered the deluxe CD and also the LP, both from Amazon. They were waiting for me when I got home from work on Friday.

Received tracking earlier last week, but status never updated from “carrier waiting for package”. Emailed today, tracking status will be updated “within 24 hours”

Chicago
LP version

Received the CD box set just fine, thanks amazon. Lesson learned.

Not even an email with tracking number yet, despite ordering on BD.com when announced and pressing Sandbag, who have not even replied.
So all I've got so far is the Sampler.

That sampler has been played to death . . .

It hasn't "worked out". If it had "worked out" it would have arrived. It arriving late defeats much of the purpose. Even if it arrives tomorrow (which it wont) that's still much too late.
Sent a very angry e-mail, still no response.

Hang on, were you able to registrer after the fact and check your status? How are they linked? I tried logging on now, but for some reason the website is fukced and wont allow me to enter a password (username works)...

How can your order be "unfulfilled"? God, this is making me so angry!

I'm just trying to be philosophical, but you are entitled to be angry, particularly given your own circumstances.

Yes, I registered only last night, weeks after ordering, and my status was present in my new account. It looked for my email address and a password of my own making. Then it sent me an immediate email, although I have a vague memory of an error message. I clicked the appropriate word on the email and my account was ready to be logged into.

"unfulfilled" = haven't lifted a finger.
