Unless you check out with Paypal they'll charge your card just before they post it to you.

HMV are selling for 65 and 75 pounds so at least I got a fiver off. My only concern is that it's a long wait till October and HMV might get in financial difficulty again, meaning that I could miss out on a sold out product. If that happens I'll take it on the chin.

I know £70 was your limit but you'd be annoyed at yourself more if you missed out over a fiver. How many times have we all bid on something on eBay with a 'final figure' in mind and then the winning bid was just a few pence over what we buckled on

Ordered from HMV (since Amazon preorder isn't up yet). £74.99. Let's hope they're still trading by October! Of course, if the Amazon pre-order goes up, I'll probably cancel the HMV, or go with Zavvi.

Amazon have went crazy since the coronavirus (and not just the UK site). A lot of releases can't be found when you search for them, but they're definitely there as you can access them through links on other sites. And like Dawn, a lot of upcoming releases just say unavailable.

Yeah, it's really weird the amount of "unavailable" pre order titles on amazon. They tend to be the last to list now.

It's certainly a bold move for a UK boutique label. I think most of the UHD sales will come from overseas fans that are using sites like Zavvi and Amazon.

btw The edit happened because I forgot to include the 'boutique' word.

A thing recent I have noticed with Amazon is that something will be available for pre order. Then come the release day it switches to unavailable and that item will not be available for a least a week or so.

That’s exactly what happened with that Ghostbusters art book I posted about yesterday, I’d had it preordered since February and until Tuesday (release date) it said “delivery date pending”, Tuesday it switched to “unavailable” and then back to “order now” after mine was sent
