Dang, was hoping my Cruise double bill (same as yours) would arrive from Zoom today
Monday I guess.
Anyone done a bulk order (£100+) with Mario? Do you get hit with customs?
I’ve placed several £100+ bulk orders with him in the past. They come through fine, and he packs them very well in an appropriately sized box with added internal protection.
Bear in mind the lost order I placed with him at the end of March was one such order (six discs). He says he is currently sourcing replacements for me so we’ll see how that goes.
Pre COVID disruption my large orders from him always came through OK.
Thanks. I am a little worried with such a big order going missing. I recently bought Rogue One 4K from him and I was amazed at how well it was packed.
I’ve probably made at least three bulk orders with him in the past, not including the one that went missing in March. They all came through fine, and (pre COVID) would never take any longer than single items would. It seems like the average wait, in the wake of the disruption, is about three to four weeks right now though. How long did it take for Rogue One to reach you?
He’s really very good. I can’t hold him personally responsible for the loss of my March order, and right now he is being very cooperative in sourcing replacements for me so if that goes well and I receive a new shipment then I won’t hesitate to keep calling on his services in future. The only time he ever put a foot wrong for me was with an April order I placed for 1917, which showed up only he’d sent me the wrong item (I was refunded within 48hrs and not required to return the disc I had been sent by mistake).
It took 34 days to get to me which isn't too bad considering. The only bad thing was that the tracking stopped at the LA distribution Center.
The lack of new cinema releases has made the decision easier so the fact that neither of my Mario orders from the 25th of May have shown up yet has led me to decide not to bother ordering anything from him before October at least.
Hopefully by then things will have improved enough for deliveries to be back to within the usual 7-10 days.
I’m still waiting on a Mario order of Monsters Inc from June 5th.
