Quote (crises1980 @ June 23 2009, 22:05) | After much consideration and reading experiences posted here, on MikeOldfieldBlog and both Taurus IV and Amarok mailing lists... the facts seem to point at a wrong delivery of Ultimate Signed boxes to Amazon.
I don't know who handled this. Is it Loud Clothing the ones that are keeping the whole stuff and delivering to other sellers? Whoever that kept Ultimate Signed and Regular boxes sent an uncertain lot to Amazon. Then, at Amazon, some people who had ordered regular Ultimate boxes got Signed ones. That means for every unexpected Signed Ultimate box delivered by Amazon... someone who ordered at Loud Clothing missed it. How many lots of Signed boxes went to Amazon? I think the number is equal to those that have not received yet their orders.
That may explain why they run ot of stock of such PRICY and VALUABLE goods. Do not forget that we all who ordered via Loud Clothing PAID EXTRA MONEY for our boxes. Anywhere else they're cheaper. You can even get Ultimate boxes in Spain for 30€!!! (b3g1f)
Then, we all get that message from Official Mailing List telling us to buy new Tubular Bells for our fathers and linking us to... AMAZON! The link on the message was NOT to OFFICIAL stores, that is Loud Clothing.
After many pressures from massive complaining mails, now Loud Clothing say that POSSIBLY boxes will be sent in THREE WEEKS. That means that people POSSIBLY will receive them in ONE MONTH, at the end of JULY. Outrageous.
This issue is being discussed too at www.mike-oldfield.es (POST) |
I've just wrote a long email to Bandstores about the subject,I won't give up until I have my signed box...
Quote | To whom it may concern,
Regarding the signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition I've bought from you,just a few comments on the subject,just to let you know:
1.About the supply problem that you've told me on an email sent yesterday,there are a few fans who did recieve a signed copy not from your store,but from Amazon.co.uk,and they even paid about £20 less for the very same product I'm still waiting to recieve at home. This information was provided by a few Tubular.net( http://tubular.net) members on the topic regarding the Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition here:
http://tubular.net/forums....;st=220
as well as also on the Amarok Mailing List,where a few subscribers did post about getting a signed copy "by accident" from Amazon.co.uk.
It's quite intriguing that it did happen,since you've proclaimed that the only way to buy the Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition is only at http://www.bandstores.co.uk/shop/tubularbells/index.php and nothing more ! And they've got it for about £20(including shippment) less than the price offered on your website!
2.The difference between the Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition and the non-signed is just a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mike Oldfield and with a number between 1-500,since the Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition is a limited edition of only 500 copies.
If this 3-week period that is necessary to have the exact number of Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Editions that haven't been sent to many people(including myself) is to wait for Mr. Mike Oldfield to sign more Certificates of Authenticity,this would lead a break up of contract,since that it would exist more than 500 Certificates of Authencity in the world,and there is also a big chance to have 2 people with the very Certificate number,which also indicates a break up on the contract of purchasing one of the 500-limited signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition.
To be fair with those who are still waiting for their Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Version like myself and not leading to have more than 500 Certificates of Authenticity or even double Certificates(2 people with the very same certificate number),is to send the 60-page booklet to Mike Oldfield and ask him to give a personalised autograph including the owner's name on it rather than asking him to sign more certificates that would configure a breaking of the contract I have with you to purchase a Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition.
Not only a personalised autograph,but also a fast shippment as soon as you have the the signed boxes back in stock + the Tubular Bells t-shirt that you've offered me as a way of apology for such a huge delay in shipping my Signed Tubular Bells Ultimate Edition.
Please keep me informed on everything regarding my order status.

This has become a serious issue and includes people from different parts of the world involved.We need a decent and fair solution on this case.
