At one stage yes but worked for Our Price they were a joke and I told them they were as they did not take the business as serious as I did
I had best sales from one store for Video against all of the other Our Price shops combined

Tower Records then poached me from Our Price
Tower Records were the best for staff who knew what they were doing especially in specialist areas and loved what they were doing well most of them

Virgin tried to get me from Tower Records as I took lot of their Film Video/DVD and Soundtrack/Vocals Customers from them and they wanted me to get these customers back with them

I then went to run a second hand Music/Video Store and then into Security business

It's crazy how much the industry and retail changed in what feels like such a short time. Tower Records always had knowledgeable staff, bit like Fopp staff always knew their stuff too. Makes such a difference to have people who can recommend and encourage you to go for something you didn't set out to buy, rather than just looking up a stock search on the computer!

Unfortunately high street shopping is a bit blander these days

We all know Zavvi is the worst online store in the history of the interwebs but ironically enough we all know we will help this item sell out within hours

 

[Shayid]

According to one seller in Germany this has sold out

 

[Shayid]

Don't worry...There are some members who love reporting to eBay sellers like these...

Zavvi customer service staff don't know what they are talking about? Never!

I thought you loved Zavvi

I thought you loved Zavvi

No one loves Zavvi, especially if you have to deal with them when something goes wrong, like you need to change addresses or something arrives damaged.

I think by and large, no one really cares either way. The only issue I've ever had was ordering the Indiana Jones steelbooks, only to then move (many months after they should have been released) and having to cancel my order (of sold-out titles) and then scrabble to re-order them when they cropped up again, something I wouldn't have had to do had they been Amazon exclusives.

I've been fortunate since then, so I have no problems with them. That said, I'd be just as happy if all steelbooks were Amazon exclusives instead, probably more so if things went wrong.

I do however get a bit sick of reading complaints about items selling out, then coming back in stock before often ending up half the price a month later. Admittedly, if Zavvi had a real-time inventory, this wouldn't happen the way it does. But then it also doesn't help when people order things and then cancel them later (not that you shouldn't be able to of course), but it does make it tricky for others.

As for other things like print runs, embossing and so on, I'm honestly surprised that Zavvi (or any other retailer) would bother to give that information out. And price drops, well, welcome to retail. Win some, lose some.

Takes you to the gambler

 

[Steelselecta]

I've never had a steel with a lenti magnet. Does that mean there won't be no embossing on the steel, just a border?

Takes you to the gambler

Fixed.

Thanks for the info @digitalbabe

 

[britmotley]

So is the new cover just a "magnet" stuck on the front?

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

I've never had a steel with a lenti magnet. Does that mean there won't be no embossing on the steel, just a border?

LOL, Zavvi being Zavvi...No border, no embossing, matte finish and the Lenti won't fit flush...

 

[IRON MAN]

Thanks for the update @digitalbabe

 

[wjasoncul]

LOL, Zavvi being Zavvi...No border, no embossing, matte finish and the Lenti won't fit flush...

Could be the Full cover lenti like Hobbit DoS DE

If it's the smaller magnet, I do like them to fit into the border unlike Looper FS Ca that can travel all over the place

I guess we'll see which one they give us...

Depends. Star Trek Into Darkness (DE) had embossing underneath the lenticular magnet.

I know where I'll be on Saturday!
