What did you expect Amazon to do in this case? There's nothing else they could have done once it became clear stock wasn't being delivered.

It's 88 Films who should have apologised / given reasons etc.

I don't hold Amazon responsible in any way at all, although I don''t understand why they didn't cancel my order, and inform me that they had done this, earlier than the day the item was supposed to be delivered

I *do* hold 88Films responsible in every way. *They* could / should have made a public announcement on social media platforms are the very least instead of putting a small note on the actual order page if their own website. I also think that they could have taken time to reply to my query about the release, even if was just a standard "very sorry, but this release has been delayed. We hope you continue to support us" response

Hasn't Severin's release of Mardi Gras Massacre been delayed too?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

It’ been pulled as well,but it was shipped direct from them before this shit happened.

Also, has anyone read the plot description on their copy of The Seventh Curse? It essentially repeats the same sentance about a permanent treatment twice! Quality Control guys. The little things matter. Its almost as annoying as Arrow's Vengence Trails spine picture screw up.

I was looking forward to Knife of Ice and of course that's the only bloody one that's £25... will wait for the Joe Bloggs version
