How can he miraculously lift the OC print stock out of nowhere if it's set with the licence agreement way in advance and the other GBs have sold out stock?

We had 25+ excess OC available here for at least 72 hours and no one touched them past a point. Anyone had three days to GB here at a very reasonable extra cost of £10 for a secured purchase. It's like 6% extra than direct.

Eh. never made any mention of such a thing. As a UK supplier you would expect more available via the site for UK buyers rather than so many to GB all over, the cost was more than £10.
and a GB purchase you are not covered, i would presume its a purchase directly to the person doing the GB.

What were the international shipping costs for the OC?

If you pay using Credit Card on PayPal via the GB, you're always covered. That's a given.

I can't argue with you over numbers because I probably agree with you over that point. Of course more stock is better.
But.
There's no changing the fact that he'd already explained why well in advance though.

Out of curiosity, what cover do you think going direct gives you compared to a GB

The OC's sold out in seconds on the site so he's clearly correct in the sense that demand greatly exceeded supply.

Something for Astro to note, when logged into the site if you refresh the page you're on it logs you back out, I suspect some who missed out on the OC encountered this, luckily I managed to grab one, but logging in to save your payment/shipping info for a fast checkout is a waste of time if it logs you out like that, not moaning, just sayin'.

XL-A appears to have sold out.

Semantics. I agree with that stock sentiment though. It's just unfortunate, but you know he explained the reason why well in advance dude.
So what's the point in arguing, fussing and regretting after the fact.

Knowing the low stock problem. Buy the GB here. Suffer the (£10) more and get what you desperately want. I don't see the issue here. The fact remained, he already told everyone why the stock was low days beforehand

Yes, and i knew i could potentially miss out, but i was as fast as possible so im surprised it chucked it out, i really hope people didn't use bots or something.
I can purchase the other items seperately so its ok, not quite as good as having the one click outter box though.

well distance selling regulations to start with.

I'm not criticising him, he's free to run his business however he wants, just saying it's a bit of a disaster for those who wanted an OC direct and Roofresh isn't incorrect to point out there were too few direct.

I went with the GB here as it was very reasonably priced and I thought direct would be messy once I heard the GB allocations, I didn't expect it to be a sub minute bloodbath though.

 

[STUBANKS]

I'm a bit late but secured A and a S&S pretty much instantly, ordering went incredibly smooth which is often a rarity, glad I didn't go for the OC, that s**t flew off the shelves. FS A OOS now looks like everyone is hedging their bets on A having a nice finish, glad to see I'm not alone

Some might split the OC up and sell off the box online. Usually happens when those Oclickers slice the guts out of the sets and sell on.
Might be an opportunity to pick up the outer shell if you grab all three others.

Completely slipped my mind, this. Finished work at 20.00. Strolled home casual as ****. Dawdling past scrotes, feral dogs and Honey Boo Boo faced hangers without a care in the world. Got in, made myself a cuppa and the Mrs said, “you forgot didn’t you?”.

B*****ks! Yes, I did. Still able to sign up on the site and order the editions I wanted without any problem at all (luckily I wasn’t after the one-click). Well, no problem except she was on about the stuff I was supposed to pick up for dinner on my way home and prettttty sure she thought the reason I grabbed my phone quick smart was to sort her out a takeaway.

yeh maybe, would consider it, if they do seems wrong for them to split up a beautiful release.

 

[Betonos Le Truel]

Nearly forgot the preorder (brain melted during workday, and forgot to set an alarm)...

Logged at 8:08PM BST, and managed to get XL A.

I split up OCs all the time, only for the stuff I really like do I keep them intact. This I plan to keep intact though.

Happily grabbed an A + S&S to live with the old lovely Steelbook // congrats @AstroC13 on releasing something less obvious with underware on the inside and hats off to all those supporting the project.

 

[jailbird_joey]

Same here and th

Same here. Also when I went to pay with Paypal it said it couldn't ship to my address even though I'm in the UK!!

PP was freaky for me in a few ways, too - just the site getting smashed I guess.

 

[Lenny Nero]

I usually miss out, but logged in, added the new card, a couple of addresses just in case, and got the One-Click!

347 orders in 4 minutes – that's Manta level amount! Of course 75 One-Clicks were gone.

We had 25+ excess OC available here for at least 72 hours and no one touched them past a point. Anyone had three days to GB here at a very reasonable extra cost of £10 + for a secured purchase. It's like 6/8% extra than direct. Worth it for security already knowing that the site direct was vv low.

What were the international shipping costs for the OC?

Just £13 to godforsaken Russia!
I've bought some slips in another order as well for £25 shipping extra, because no way it's that cheap, so that @AstroC13 maybe ships them together to offset the overall cost for him...

No, it doesn't. Probably something wrong with your 'cookies'...

Yeah, there's empty boxes for each Manta and many other releases usually available.
