Amazon did exactly the same to me when the Limited Edition Back to the Future box set was announced. You know, the one with the three time clocks on the front. I was in early and thought I was golden. However, like a lot of people here, I got an email saying it was cancelled , but they did give me a £5 credit. I rarely order from Amazon and have had some poor service from Zavvi. Mostly I order from or shop in-store at HMV now.
I’ve never actually had the bad experiences other have had with Zavvi. So I do still use them But it is bad when Amazon take these preorders and then starts cancelling them. I did get that back to the future set. But not at release it was down the line off eBay - possibly a couple years after release
Shocking practice 😮 the fun in collecting is rapidly disappointing. Scalpers, overpricing from distributors & shoddy retailers - be it cancelling or poor postage. Its as if they want physical media to disappear 🙄
Your absolutely right. Makes me question if I should step away from steels and collectors sets and just get the bulk standard releases. Also ☝️ on a separate note I’m finding my self more often than not disappointed by a lot of 4K transfers of older films also. Arrow is one who on several occassion have given out less than great 4K. I’ve heard Last Starfighter isn’t that great. I’ve yet to collect mine from HMV so unsure. But weird science and time bandits were pretty crap
Ohh wow, I see this has happened to a lot of people, disgusting behaviour from Amazon and Zavvi not to mention the scalpers 🤬 pre-orders should be set in stone 🤔 sorry to here this, take care👍😃👍
I buy nothing from Amazon, I stick to Ebay all the time , I know prices are a little higher but at least you get your order, sorry to hear that my friend!!
Zavvi is also the same. If your bank card expires, you can't update them. One of the reasons I stopped using them with also what you mentioned about cancelling pre orders.
You can't update the card you have to re add it and put it back on as a new card. Really stupid when you have AI and some serious advances in technology 😮
Not surprised by this at all, once again treating customers awfully. Not rocket science but limit one copy per customer so the scum scapers don't get hold of them. I don't really pre order so I have been lucky with the few that I have. In regards with Zavvi, can't you just cancel with your bank, great video mate
Cancelling with the bank. Yeah probably. Didn’t really thing that far into it to be honest. I just think crazy they in some cases. Even weeks away from release they can try to block a cancellation
I just look mine was gone but typed it in in your orders and is still saying it'll be delivered on the date they said but it was gone from my orders all I done was type it in
@@ajsmovieplace i did order it but I carnt remember who I did order it from hmv zavvi Amazon one of them 3 so hopefully mines ok I haven't seen anything from Amazon or others about pre orders cancelled 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it's my favourite film and I missed out in the jaws film vault UK version I had to get the Italian one,
The film vault I'm just coming out the other side from buying the main versions 😢 I couldn't afford the steelbooks so I'm happy about that. I'm angry for you and sad that this is the way it seems to be going.... Shameful maybe illegal?😮
Illegal ? Unsure. Disgusting yes. The amount of people this is affecting seems to be a fair few. I wonder how they decide ? It’s certainly not based on first come first served. As I ordered the minute it went live
But you’ll see people ok the FB groups with box with 5 in or something. Should be limited 1 per customer and have a limited amount to pre order they know they can cover. Then when they get notification of how many they will be getting put the rest up for sale
Yez same here mine also got cancelled they sent me a email a month ago saying they where cancelling all steelbooks i pre order film Vault bloody amazon 😑
In the Grand scheme of things … No! But it’s Not a good practice ( especially removing people orders with no email of explanation ) - No way to run a business, But Amazon are so big it doesn’t bother them at all
@ajsmovieplace I've only had one canceling on amazon but they did email to say they wasn't getting enough stock. At lest either amazon they don't charge till dispatch
I ordered 2 copies of Jaws one for me and one for my friend they just disappeared from my orders I phoned I was told they was not getting any stock very sorry I tried to argue but just kept saying getting no stock very angry about it 😡😡😡
It’s disgusting. Seriously. They should be ashamed. Getting to a point now where safest option. Pre order everywhere ( zavvi. Amazon. HMV ) and see who takes the money first
I never claimed it to be Rubbish. Boring yes. What I said was. It’s overlong. Overstretched for its story. And although the ‘best looking ‘ in that it was shot in the real world. It was overly repetitive in some of its narrative decisions in order to reach its allocated episode length. I stand by that fact it is Dull and tedious. And a drag to get through. Rubbish ? No. Boba Fett is worse. - but I’d likely watch that before Andor. Also Andor has now been elevated by the fact Acokyte IS rubbish and I didn’t get Beyond ep 2
@@ajsmovieplace Ok Sorry not rubbish but you had pigeon holed it to the point that you disliked it so much because of your reasons above boring etc etc i dont understand why you would buy it ? but im glad you come to your senses wait until season 2 it will make more sense and be more enjoyable mark my words you heard it here.
@4Kmichelinstarmovies I’m hoping s2 does elevate it somewhat for me. As I’m hoping The Batman 2 will elevate The Batman. I’m not beyond saying I bought Andor more ro complete than anything else. I wouldn’t have though at £50 But selling the blurays on for £25 thusly means I only paid £25 for the steelbook and 4K’s But … that completist thinking has ended with Star Wars now and Acolyte. Happily ignore that. As I have with watching it.
@@ajsmovieplace I'm actually the opposite im only a completist for star wars il will buy all the steelbooks ,BOBF, Ashoka, Acolyte. I was going to make The Batman comparison but i also think the whole trilogy will bring that together , Kinda like the Dune movies not saying they need it. the first one is slower, pt 2 is fast pace Go Go Go as for Dune Messaih is the darkest of the lot.
