'Suede Record Store' STILL haven't despatched yet!!!!... grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! What a load of shit!!!... AND you have to pay £2 p&p too!!!... play.com all the way now!!!...

Forget Play.com - they've really gone downhill over the last year or two - they're not the cheapest and for me they're not great at getting pre-orders out on time. Just cancelled my pre-order of the new Blondie album. Out in stores today and they're still 'awaiting stock'.

Every album and DVD I've pre-ordered from HMV.com in the last few months for a Monday release has turned up the Saturday before. Suede reissue was no exception. It's worth waiting for, especially the DVD.

yeah, i used to by on play a lot, but I am more amazon and hmv lately.

argh!!!... I'm going for a lie down now!!!...

[sunshine]

go to the shop instead!

[mark]

The only music shop we have in town these days is hmv - and it is pretty small so they might even have to order it in lol????!!!...

[Gareth]

Well you won't know till try... I think it's about £14 or £15 in HMV stores though. £9.99 online.

play.com is great for me as they ship for free and dms was shipped yesterday so maybe I will get it next week already, which is still before the release date here.

and it's always cheaper than in Germany, 'cause CDs and DVDs are always so much more expensive here.

i think amazon do it now for free for europe

[disco bunny]

Yes, for some, but not for Germany

STILL no despatch for 'Suede' from 'record store' - fucking useless - i;m sorry but what a rubbish company - ok, I admit, I left it late and didn't pre-order til last Friday but still it is almost a week later and still no desptach!!! The worst thing is they've already debited my account so I can't cancel it!!!... :O play.com sent my copy of DMS today so it looks at this rate like i'll be getting that before the debut!!!... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

[sunshine]

oh, sorry to hear

[mark]

i've posted now at 'the other place' as a query but i'll get no response i'm guessing... or be accused of moaning!!!... that's what usually happens - but I think it takes the piss that they already debit your account and they can't get their fucking arses into gear to actually despatch the damn thing - play.com and hmv seem to at least know what they're doing - if they hadn't charged me I would have cancelled the order - now i'm stuck waiting!!!!....
