Page 1 of Amazon US non-delivery.....

My wife bought me the Indy Boxset and the X-Men Boxset from Amazon in the USofA (I did tell her to use Play but they were apparently nearly twice the price of Amazon!) as I had to have the Region 1 version of Dr Jones.

Thing is that they shipped on the 4th December according to their site and I still haven`t seen them :( .......this is particularly annoying as I spent some money on decent cables for my set up and now have wonderous sound and vision (even though it is all through my Tosh DVD player and Tosh TV`s built in surround - which is awesome by the way!)

Has anyone else had long wait problems with Amazon in the US? I have never used them - only the Amazon in the UK and Play.com are usually spot on with their delivery times...


Or, is anyone in the same boat?

Unhappily yours

I`ve been waiting since 5th December for a very expensive Disney figurine to arrive.
I have been assured and guaranted by the sender that it was sent Airmail on that date, and yet am still waiting. The seller told me that several parcels to the UK, as of 24th December, had not yet arrived, and that it must be the US postal system. I know sometimes things take a while to arrive, and i appreciate xmas and all that, but am begining to get worried that its been lost, or even intercepted by the wonderful customs people at Mount Pleasant!
And yet a parcel sent to me form Canada on the 19th December arrived on Xmas eve !!
where`s the logic in that?

I feel for you Oakland - like you I have been prepared to wait a little longer due to the festive season and all but, come on, over a month?!
If mine have been nabbed for VAT then I have heard nowt from those "pleasant" people either.

My major problem is that Indy has always been a Christmas tradition in my house and the absence of it, even on telly, has left me feeling empty..........well, allright then, it`s not that bad but you know what I mean ;-)

i have ordered many items from etailers and off ebay from the states none has taken more than two weeks...

`I plan to live forever, or die trying` ;)

Any joy yet with the DVD`s from Amazon? Am still waiting for my goods to arrive from the states. I`ve had over 250 transactions on Ebay and ordered hundreds of DVDs from the US and have had no problems before with missing goods.My concern is that the Item`s am waiting for a rare and expensive, so not easy to replace.
Plus the fact that i would be out of pocket should the goods not arrive.
I will will just have to keep my fingers crossed that they turn up (sooner rather then later!)
:( :(

Hi Oakland, I`ve just been home for lunch and lo-and-behold......THEY`RE HERE!!!

I am well chuffed and now can`t wait to get home to start the mini-marathon.

One thing I find incredible though is that when I got home, I nearly ran over them as they were just dumped on my driveway! >:( I have half a mind to say that they never turned up (although I wont - fair`s fair and all that I suppose - they`re all in mint condition after all :D )

Surely they leave themselves open to all sorts of abuse of the system doing this..?

Anyway, good luck Oakland, you never know, your gear might well be there this evening waiting for you......


....and sort of thanks to Amazon - I might get the wife to order me some disks for me this week for my Birthday.......in July!

Glad the boxset turned up. The Indy one`s are well worth it. Special features are quite good also.
I will let you know when my stuff arrives (had the post today, no packages from the US :( )

It usually takes 4-5 weeks from amazon usa but i ordered a dvd on december 27th and it turned up on january 6th.I was shocked to say the least.

Just to let you know that the expensive parcel i was waiting for has finally arrived!
Nearly 5 weeks for priority airmail to arrive. Still waiting for some autograph cards to arrive, so its one down, one to go! :/
