    I'll repeat for the last time...

    all bollocks aside, this is a really nice item to own. I dont begrudge a penny. I know others have their gripes, and they will continue to flog that horse like they did over the last 98 pages of this thread, but knowing what i do now and having seen this boxset up close, I'm very happy with the purchase.
    i think this small detail Paul,that you know now,make the difference....i understand that some delay make people angry and want to know the reason of that..im not talking about the one cursing to 10c,or are mean but alot are confused and need explanation..when u have the box on your hands you forget all....(i still didnt open mine..ill do it on weekend when i have free time. :D ..)...and now as it seems europe ,australia,usa,s.america shipping work well,but canadians have some issues..

    Dimi,

    When I have the box in the hand this definitely won't be forgotten - I'll be worried about how long No Code/Yeild will take to get here. Hopefully they at least supply tracking for that.

    I received mine today as well.
    There's a little issue though. The Vs record is scratched affecting the 2nd half of Daughter. It looks like WRW crossed over and the record pops when the needle passes over it. No i have to find out where and if a can get a replacement.

    my friend,i read your posts and for sure you have reasoble questions...the box is so heavy and shipping cost is normal to be expensive,,in europe all having tracking number....actually mine dont,cos i didnt get mail,tracking number...my order status says en. In Stock, ships within 1-2 business days... :roll:

    I'm sure that i will be happy with it when i finally get it too, but i think us Canadians have reason to be a bit frustrated with the process.

    IMO it wouldn't have been that hard for the 10C to at least ship these to Canada a few weeks before the release date to ease some of our "pain". This day in age its kind of unreasonable to have to wait 1-2 months for a package to go from the US to Canada.

    Mine just came! What a day to be home, listening right now. Completely worth the $ and the wait, the packaging on these "super deluxe" re-releases is just awesome. Great job 10C now the waiting begins for the no code/yield box set.

    Or how about partnering with Sony Canada or better yet a Canadian chain to get it out there like they did with Europe. If 10C partnered with Futureshop (even if only through their online store) duty wouldn't be an issue and shipping wouldn't take 2 months.

    Oh i'm sure...i'm by no means an expert on this stuff, and i'm sure the people at the 10C work hard...but there has just got to be a better way to handle this kind of distribution.

    I'm with you guys completely here. I don't like harping on the club about this issue, as I am happy most of the time with the service we receive. I don't care about the ticketing concerns or the costs of membership as there is only so many tickets available, and they need to cover their costs to keep operational. I just wish there was a better option for items like this. I'm now resigned to the fact I'll see it in May, and I'll be very happy with it when I receive it.

  • ¡Hoy llegó mi caja de colección! Es muy especial, será mi segundo acetato de "Vitalogy" en casa, además de las versiones que tengo de las versiones de las canciones tocadas en los ensayos. Total, ya tendré en dos acetatos, tres CD's y un casette, ejemplares de este maravilloso álbum. ¡Let's spin the black circle! :D

    Bien por el 10c y el equipo de ventas de la tienda en línea. Aunque la fecha de envío se retrasó diez días (que bien valieron la pena) todo el proceso fue muy sencillo, puntual y siempre me informaron cómo iba la entrega de este tesoro. Ahora me urge llegar a casa a regresar 10 años la historia... ¡Gracias! <

    I bought the DELUXE VS. & VITALOGY CD in a store in my city.
    Better Man (guitar/organ only) is absolutely beautiful.
    The sound of Live at The Orpheum is great.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    I agree. I'm really happy with the box set and I think, when they have finished releasing them all, they'll make a great set.

    I didn't receive the box nor a shipping mail yet.
    But I think (hope) they are busy perparing to send it because I received the following mail from them, and they already charged my credit card (at the correct lower price)...

    Patience, patience, patience .... :)
    Waiting, waiting, waiting .... :geek:

    I confirm.

    When it happened to me, I sent them several messages about my situation. At the begining, they told me that they couldn't do anything, I had to pay the new price.

    At the end (the last two replies), they didn't even bother give an explanation. A kind of standard answer. Something like: "sorry for what happened, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate." :roll:

    Surprising to hear that they admit that they were wrong, but didn't you already receive your box and what amount did they charge (the price with or without VAT? Now they want you to order a again at the VAT-free price? Maybe you should order it and make a deal with rafie and send it to Israel as his country is being boycotted by Sony. (Search "boycott" in the google bar and "boycott Israel" is suggested at number 3).

    edit: I misunderstood. It was obviously Evert who got this mail. Did you Hub contact them a couple of months ago to ask if you must be the VAT. I've experienced that it's often better to keep quiet and just sit tight and wait to see what happens. It's really wrong that they didn't let everyone who ordered the first day have it VAT-free. That really sucks!

    Before my girlfriend made me the surprise (she bought it a few days after they canceled my order), I sent them these mails.

    Since she's not the same person who purchased it, she paid the full price. I don't think there'll be any arrangement with them that could lead to another box at the lowest price. Unfortunately for me (or rafie). :(

    They didn't do anything before, I don't think they will now. :x

    Not a couple of months ago. Someone else did.

    But when They canceled my order I sent them an email, worried about the VAT problem. They first answered that it was like this: If I still wanted the box, I'd have to pay the new price.

    Then I replied then thy replied, then..... for at least 10 days.

    At the end the last two messages were these (roughly translated):

    > Hello,
    >
    > Thank you for contacting Sony Music Digital.
    >
    > We apologize for the problem with your order. If you still have
    > questions, please feel free to contact us again.
