Zavvi does not own ArrowZavvi own arrow so why is this not offered on zavvi also? It’s seems randomly the other the art on some releases and some not.
Wow you seriously man I know the hut has shares with them all my typo there. I have been buying from zavvi etc since they started back in the day.Zavvi does not own Arrow
That would be like saying Cult Beauty or My Protien or Dermstore own Arrow
It's THG that purchased shares in Arrow not Zavvi
Arrow Films and Zavvi are separate companies but yes both are connected to THG
Zavvi just happens to be one of over 50 companies connected to THG
Zavvi is only a online retailer that sells products offered to sell from various distributors
Some releases they get offered as retailer exclusive from distributors
It's THG that purchased shares in Arrow Films but they don't own Arrow Films outright
Yes THG has control of the arrow films board of directors but they do not own Arrow Films outright as a company
For THG to own Arrow outright that would require the other remaining share holders agree to sell those shares to THG
THG own Zavvi outright and some of the other companies that are part of THG (aka The Hut Group) but do not in regards to Arrow Films
Zavvi turnover and profit is tiny compared to the other THG group of companies
Zavvi is just one of many companies that is part of THG and in terms of revenue
Zavvi revenue is not even close to the other companies that is owned by THG or the other companies THG has shares in or in the companies they provide e-commerce business support
The investement THG put into Arrow Films did not come from Zavvi
SB Management, a division of SoftBank provided $1.6bn in 2021 for THG to invest in other companies and expand THG ingenuity e-commerce business operations
Zavvi and Arrow Films are separate companies and separate run bussiness and are also based at different locations to each other
Due to UK companies Act when a company owns or has majority shares in another company that company must be registered as a business at parent company head office even though the actual company involved is not based at that address or is based in a different country
THG head office is in Manchester beside the Airport that is the parent company
The companies that are part of THG are based at different address even though they registered as bussiness at THG head office and they are separate companies run independent of each other
This why Arrow Films registered business address is at THG head office is in Manchester even though Arrow Films itself is not based at that address
Example
Zavvi is based in Guernsey but registered as a business at THG head office in Manchester
THG yes have control of the arrow board of directors due to having majority shares but do not own Arrow Films outright as a company
For THG to own arrow films outright that would require the other remaining share holders agree sell those shares to THG
It's THG ingenuity that run Zavvi and Arrow websites but they also operate various UK retailers websites some are companies not even owned by THG if you are not aware
The retailer websites look similar or the same simply because they are run by the THG ingenuity software platform
THG Ingenuity - THG PLC
An end-to-end e-commerce platform that supports the entire consumer, brand owner, and retailer market, both locally and globally.www.thg.comTHG Ingenuity - THG PLC
An end-to-end e-commerce platform that supports the entire consumer, brand owner, and retailer market, both locally and globally.www.thg.comGroup Structure - THG PLC
We are a digital-first consumer brands group, specialising in taking brands direct to consumers globally, via our proprietary technology platform THG Ingenuity.www.thg.com
THG just purchased majority shares in Arrow Films and due to this provide investment in arrow films
THG also provided THG Ingenuity software platform to run the separate Arrow Films retailer websites and that same software is used with some other UK retailers websites
Arrow Films Distribution who decide and plan on the arrow video and other arrow label product releases and the Arrow Films UK and USA retailer online websites are separate business operations
Arrow Films the distributor and Arrow Films retail websites are separate business operations
This why Fran Simeoni from Arrow Films said Arrow online retailer websites has nothing to do with him since Thg ingenuity took over the running the Arrow retail websites as that side of the bussiness operations is separate to Arrow Films the distributor
Fran Simeoni is employed by Arrow Films the Distributor he does not work for Zavvi
It's Arrow Films the Distributor that supplies the releases to retailers and decide if a retailer gets a release as exclusive
Zavvi UK get steelbook exclusives from Arrow but that was happening for years even before THG purchased shares in Arrow
The Zavvi and Arrow retail websites may look the same due to be run by Thg ingenuity software but Zavvi and Arrow are separate companies and separate business
It's Arrow Films the distributor that supplies arrow releases to Amazon UK/Zavvi/HMV etc
Arrow Films websites store exclusives has nothing to do with Zavvi
Arrow and Zavvi are separate companies but just happen to use THG Ingenuity website software platform in regards to the retail websites
There are a lot other UK retailers e-commerce (Online Shops) websites that are run THG Ingenuity even though these are bussinees not owend by THG
A small list of examples there are lot more involved
Gillete UK
Homebase UK
Nintendo UK
Nestle UK
Boots UK
And many more UK websites you likely are not aware including some uk retail supermarkets websites
The reason why customer service looks the same is because the retail e-commerce websites are run by THG ingenuity
Phenomena Arte Originale is a trade wide releaseWow you seriously man I know the hut has shares with them all my typo there. I have been buying from zavvi etc since they started back in the day.
But zavvi are involved with arrow stuff and please explain why phenomena 4K ltd is sold at zavvi with both art editions?
And why most arrow titles I buy from zavvi these days are sent tracked where non arrow titles is standard.
I just find it weird they only have certain options are arrow saying to zavvi you can get both editions of this but can’t of this etc.
Anyway there is always the choice to order from arrow direct but I stopped that while back as arrow packaging got very poor so found alternatives to buying there titles.
Yes in regards to Tenebrae Art Originale UK editionso just to get this straight, the only way to get this Arte Originale cover is from Arrow UK only right? thanks
I think there is a lot of postal strike action on at the minute so expect delays in your packages.Yeah got my dispatch notification yesterday. Tracking number too unlike Zavvi
Arrow Films shop Website all orders are sent using tracked shipping if you was not aware.Yeah got my dispatch notification yesterday. Tracking number too unlike Zavvi
Ok cheersArrow Films shop Website all orders are sent using tracked shipping if you was not aware.
Most orders done direct with arrow films website are shipped using Royal Mail and Royal Mail International
Arrow Fillms UK website orders are Shipped direct from Arrow Films warehouse thats based in Technicolor distribution center
The return address on the parcel is Technicolor distribution center when shipped direct
Zavvi/Amazon/HMV get their stock from Technicolor distribution center and then shipped from those retailers own warehouses
Zavvi then ship from Zavvi warehouse in Guernsey or from THG warehouse based in Warrington
When zavvi orders are shipped from THG Warrington most arrow release orders will be tracked shipping by Fedex Crosds Border and then by a local courier (The local courier varies in each country) when arrives in destination country
A rare occasion a existing back catalouge release ordered direct with arrow films website will be shipped instead from THG warehouse based in Warrington if stock level low at Technicolor distribution center as in they use THG instead to ship order
Most orders done direct with Arrow Films Website though will ship direct from Arrow Films Warehouse
Pre orders done direct arrow films website will always will be shipped direct from arrow warehouse in Technicolor distribution center
Orders done with Zavvi websites your order will vary if shipped by zavvi in guernsey or by THG in Warrington
Zavvi warehouse in Guernsey don't use tracked shipping
