Hmmm. I am always dubious when these companies say despatched. I think it just means payment cleared and with their despatch unit for packing n posting... and they email u so u cant cancel. I too have had the same issue as stephen. I can tell u summat, its not Royal Mail to blame ... they have targets to clear mail centres on a daily basis and do clear on a daily basis ... as do local delivery offices.

Oh Stephen, that's so utterly illogical. That's like not buying the bluray of a film you like because you don't like the artwork...oh...

Yeah, the Guernsey distribution centre closed up at the end of July, so nothing is sent from here now, everything is sent from within mainland UK, which in reality, means orders should arrive sooner...

Class of Nuke 'Em High is possibly my favourite Troma flick, I've watched it countless times. Surf Nazis though.... don't blame ya. I bought it purely in the hope that we see some more Troma released by Arrow.

I might get Nuke 'Em High if I see it going cheap enough, maybe in an Arrow sale or something.

That would explain why Class of Nuke 'em High and Surf Nazis Must Die arrived in the usual HMV cardboard boxes with a sticker containing the order details on the shrinkwrap whilst something which arrived yesterday (I forget what) was packaged in a large padded envelope (with a Birmingham return address) and without a sticker on the item.

All HMV post has been collected by TNT from their warehouses and then processed into the Royal Mail system during the move from the CI to the UK, which is adding on average an extra 2 days on to all deliveries - most of my pre-orders I put in for the 20% off deal they had recently have all come on Wednesday after release day which is highly annoying!

Hopefully when it's all settled down it'll either be back to normal or better than before since 'technically' they wont be imported.
