Still not even a dispatch email.

That was from the first day of the sale. I've heard nothing about the second order.

@ Stephen - Which seller was that? That's really poor.

Clearly a seller to be avoided. And at £60 that's shocking to be honest.

That package from Lime Wood was so well packaged, they always are.

You can't simply scrabble away at the packaging to get at the discs.

I had to ask for permission from it to before i could even begin

Then carefully used a craft knife.

The Harder They Fall is an absolute classic, Treb.

I also highly recommend In a Lonely Place the next time there's a Criterion offer.

It was actually from 88 Films themselves. Looks like they kept a few copies back when they shipped them over to the US, and put them up on ebay.

When the postman handed it over to me today and I saw the packaging, I was right to dread what i'd see when I opened it.

You'd think when it's coming from them they'd take real care with it especially costing £60.

Anyone seeing your post is now going to think twice about ordering direct from them because they'll be worried about what state their item(s) will be in when they arrive.

Very true. I'm actually quite ocd when it comes to things like this, so I may have to get it from somewhere else after the official release date, and sell this for a loss later to someone who doesn't mind it being damaged.

Oh, and very telling, I posted a pic on Twitter earlier complaining about the state of it and got no response. Just posted a pic of the whole set and got a like and retweet

I'd be suggesting somewhere they could shove their retweet.

Got to be honest your restraint is quite admirable. I'm surprised you aren't absolutely fuming about it.
