I guess it would be interesting create a web page like the one done for TB limited edition (http://wiki.oldfield.es/M%C3%A1s_cosas) to see how many people have received their box set and to check the serial numbers... Unfortunately i'm not able to do that but I'm sure one of you folks can

Very VERY good idea !!

It could be done here quite easy.
Start a new thread for each.
If people enter Album then Number then username only.
And always Quote the above post Don't use reply.

500 th post wow :laugh:

Got a note in my mailbox today about a parcel from Switzerland that I can pick up after 16.00 today. This will be very interesting...

It's really the admins job to tell you this, but they haven't, so I will.

No one except for Administrators or Super Administrators can start threads in the News, Media Coverage or Tubular.net Updates forums. You should be able to start one any where else, no matter how short or long a time you've been here.

Hope that's been helpful.

As I still didn't receive anything yet, I contacted Universal UK support again. They suggested a refund in my case too, just the same standard reply. What makes me upset is that they avoid my questions. They do not acknowledge that there is a major flaw in their distribution system. They only acknowledge each individual case and blame the mail services in the destination country. As we all know, mail services in France, Finland, Spain, the US, Canada and others cannot be responsible for a simultanous delay of shipments coming from one supplier. Why don't they acknowledge that their courier service is failing? Do they fear a class action lawsuit if they admit mistakes?
I asked them why they chose an unreliable courier for strictly unlimited editions which cannot be replaced if lost. Their only answer was that the customer could have chosen the express way, not standard. So now they basically blame the customer. I answered that all of us are used to the standard service from Amazon which is reliable and fast. No reply yet and I don't expect anything.

I give them another week. Then I want my whole money back.

Isn't their a way to inform Mike Oldfield management what a mess the distribution of Universal UK is?

Cheers,
mountie

Got my records today. No damages (although the packaging wasn't exactly impressive!

.
The sender is Pitney Bowes international in Switzerland and there's a sticker on the box that says "m-bag". It took 47 days before it reached me.

HR is number 91. Ommadawn is number 6.

These records are so beautiful. I'm felling happy and warm inside!

The LPs will rest on a shelf until I decide to get a record player. I'm going to listen to the CDs this weekend. Thanks to the helpful member of this community who helped to a sneak preview of the lost version of Ommadawn!

Unbelievable, but true. The Limited Signed Edition of Ommadawn arrived, #249 of 250

The pizza box was sent by Royal Mail. No sign that it went through Switzerland. I suppose it went as a ground shipment, i.e. via ship from UK to Canada. It took almost as long as Christoph Columbus' first voyage.

The Deluxed Edition of Hergest Ridge, sent beginning of June is still missing. I think that one is really lost. But at least it can be replaced or better ordered somewhere else.

Cheers,
mountie

Okay, you now have to add the time a Wells & Fargo coach ride took from the east to the west coast.

And today the Hergest Ridge Deluxe Edition arrived. 9 weeks shipment time. Maybe a new record for Universal UK.

It's good looking for sure!
I'm thinking about only buying digital dowloads or vinyl in the future. I dislike the CD format more for each day. And there is so much good music available on vinyl now.
