Normally, the orders I have made direct via the Arrow site have arrived within a week

It is almost a fortnight since I put in a big order (14 titles), and I am still waiting

However, I am still putting this down to 'time of year', rather than seeing anything nefarious

Anyway....

Today's trip to the charity shops in town resulted in:

'Night of the Hunter' - original with Robert Mitchum - £0.99p
'Lesbian Vampire Warriors' - Arrow films - £0.99p

Poor old lady behind the counter of the British Heart Foundation almost had a heart attack when I gave her the case to the latter!

I would put it down to this time of year if nobody had received there's but almost everybody has, plus I'm an X Files fan

I'm also waiting on stuff from them.

If it is a post office problem it must be at Arrows end rather than our local depots as we are all from different parts of the country.

Picked these up today on impulse at £5 each, Cat looks stunning, Bird not so(well known issue), now call me daft, but I prefer Bird in letterboxed 4:3 with bars rather than it's 'zoomlike' 16:9.

Sorry to hear you guys are having trouble with Arrow mail order, hope it turns out okay soon.

These lovely rare and oop HK dvd's arrived... :dance:

Man of Nasty Spirits (1993) (Maga Base)
Awakening (1994) (Ocean Shores) (Anthony Wong and Simon Yam weirdness!)

Excuse me for going back to something I've already posted but I've just unpackaged it and for £6.91 I am impressed. The tin it comes in is lovely, I especially like the covers on the back, see below. I was also very impressed that the DVDs were actually in protective envelopes which means they haven't become loose during shipping, although I will pop them on the pluck hubs now.

I got some stuff from Arrow this morning, took longer than usual but most of it turned up.

HBTC BD, Caligula BD, Pervert + Kentucky Fried Movie. I ordered Snowblood steelie but wasn't in the package or on the invoice slip that came with it. I'm guessing they ship steelbooks seperate?

Gotta love Pop Flix :cool: I'm yet to buy any of their steelbooks, but that looks like a pretty sweet set . . .

Just ordered these from America:

Know what you mean I ordered from Arrow to. Even sent a small polite email asking them to let me know if they had been sent or when they were getting sent....no reply at all :( Be nice to have gotten a reply at least.

Yeah that was me and I completely forgot to say that its made no difference as the spoiler tags don't seem to work on cult labs tapatalk for some reason. Sorry for being a nuisance, as you were.

Out of interest, when did you order?

I thought that myself, wasn't sure if it was just my phone

With all due respect to Argentofan, it was a silly idea posting a pic for each individual dvd he owned. :shocked:

He seems a decent chap though and those apart his contributions to the forum are ones i read. :)

Now, pics I've seen of Trainspotting, does it really have certificates on the spine?????

Ive gotten everything from my Arrow order except 2 Steelbooks, and my ZFE hasnt arrived yet.

Wish they'd do the calender thing again.

Thought so. No sale here then.

Same, my 2 steelbooks havent arrived. Are they shipped from a different location?

Just received these as an early Christmas gift from a good friend.:woot:

I wish they'd do the dvd thing again! :rolleyes:

I don't get it... :confused:

You wish they'd send out calendars, i wish they'd send out dvd's.

WANT!


As for this whole thing with arrow and the xmas delivery's, one last thing before I head off to watch HOT FUZZ on blu before bedtime..

the stuff will probably turn up on our doorsteps tommorrow and panic over so noone worry too much :pray:

Besides the folk at arrow are a decent bunch so if worst comes to worse we'll get the stuff replaced.

Yeah, we do all sound like a bunch of wingeing buggers, but I've never had any reason to fault the service from Arrow so I'm sure it'll be sorted soon, hopefully :pray:

Aahh, I get it now :doh:

November 30th

As did I.

Just got my Universal Monsters box from Amazon and am well pleased - I was brickin' it that the post would do their usual box set demolition job on it, but it arrived safe and sound. It's quite a beauty !

(a good boxset is worth repeating...)

I think Marc was just trying to generate a bit of conversation - which is only a good thing, and displaying the actual discs was probably his way of making the post look more interesting than just a dry list of titles. His weapon of choice - the spolier tag, was done to accomodate other members having trouble viewing large images, so no fault...

Anyway, I just paid off my credit card there now and I have spent an embarrassing amount of money on discs and books - I was gonna ask the Masters of Cinema guys if they would consider a Christmas sale but on second thoughts, I'm gonna leave it...

Yup, same here, I think a lot of us ordered on that date.

Could THAT be the explanation? I haven't ordered the Slipcase edition (Yet), only the steelbook.

I wouldn't have thought this would make a huge difference, I was charged for them on the 3rd December so I presumed that was when they shipped so 10 days ago although you expect fairly slow deliveries over the Christmas period the posties are delivering on Sunday at the moment and are adding extra rounds in - this could be just because the area I live is prone to heavy snow so they don't want to leave it to the next day just incase.

I sent an email on Saturday just asking to check on the status as I've heard nothing since the order and wasn't sure if this was the norm, although I wasn't expecting a response at the weekend yet I haven't had a response to my email by now so it is a bit worrying.

Arrow charge instantly on pre-orders and don't bother with shipping e-mails either, so I wouldn't necessarily like to use that as a guide! ;)

Hopefully everyone's discs will turn up soon.

It wasn't a pre-order, the charge was taken four days after the order. I'm a very impatient person! Plus there is a present in that order for my Grandad, and a few of them are also for myself! I can't be doing with having less presents around the tree :(



I am slightly grumpy because the dress I really liked that my dad was going to buy me was too short.

Oh I see. I don't blame you as I'm also really impatient: I've been waiting two weeks for Exorcism and Two Orphan Vampires to come from allyourmusic.

I didn't think there was such a phenomenon where dresses were concerned! ;)
