Delivery times to UK

Hey everyone,

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post... didn't want to clutter up the Porch with non-PJ talk!

I joined 10C this January, and so ordered Backspacer when the pre-orders first went up, just to support the band, and I figured I'd be as well to (I felt cool making use of the privilege mainly :D )

Then, about 4 weeks ago, I ordered 1 of the "free" Holiday Sinlges (where you have to pay postage only), because I love the Love Reign O'er Me cover.

I'm just wondering, how long should delivery take for 10C items to the UK? 4 weeks seems an awful long time to be waiting for something from the US, and it's not so much that I mind the waiting, but I'm worried it's maybe got lost or sent to the wrong address or something.

I haven't got anything from 10C thus far (although I'm assuming that's because I was registered too late for the 2008 Holiday Single and the magazine I read about??) so I'm just looking for a general idea of how long other people have had to wait for things...

I think it's best to find out if I should worry NOW, rather than when Backspacer is released. :)

Thanks in advance for your help!

    I ordered a few hoodies etc, took at least a month to get each of them. Thats why i go via a friend in the USA now when i buy stuff from them so i can get it under 2 weeks.

    Would be a big fool in my opinion to buy the album from 10c, just go get it from the store... not going to loose anything!

    But didn't Avacado come in special packaging, with a bonus CD when ordered through 10C? I'm sure something similar will be done with Backspacer...

    Thanks for the reply though :)

    well i dont know how a pre order of a album will work i.e if they ship it in time or ship it on the day its released. Yes it came with special packaging but i dont think it was anything amazing, i dont actually know what the difference was really.

    I ordered the album from 10C too, not having ordered anything before.

    Hope I don't have to wait a month. Bugger!

    it took 6 weeks for my S/T CD to arrive.. they shipped them AFTER release date to non-US customers.
    but at least there was the free download on day of release so that wasn't too bad.

    delivery time have improved since but don't expect it until October at best.

    I don't think the 10c Backspacer has a different packaging from the small shop ones.. I suspect the 'deluxe' version sold in the UK (for the same price in most places) is that version.
