Just seen a post in a FB group from Ben Hope (founder of everythingblu) that they have parted ways with THG/Zavvi following the recent restructure and will be operating independently again.

Honestly, good for them!

Yup! Sounds like they're back on their feet again which is good to hear

But at least I won 1750 on the lotto lol.w

I thought u were joking, u can just buy one off ebay now lol.
getting 5 numbers should be more money in my book, that 5 and the bonus is 1 million,
but they will work it out all accordingly i guess.
congrats

Yeah I was being totally serious, Although it isn't all mine and even then I cant just blow the lot. Just cos I can afford to overpay for a copy of it doesn't mean I want to or should have to. Even if like £125 quid with postage isn't too bad. I still shouldnt have to I put in my pre order along with everyone else in ******* November. I have to share the winnings with my wife and we are only taking 600 each to blow. I have always thought money you win should be enjoyed, cos it is money I never would have had. Even so I have being paying all my pre orders with Klarna this year and honestly the payments were starting to get close to being too much lol.

Sounds like a good night. Who’s sucking who off though?

That’s a joke before you get aggy

I was trying to think of a cocaine joke but that was funnier in my mind

No you are right, it should be £100 as you ordered it correctly, but the mess at Zavvi is unlikely to solve it now, especially when they are more bothered about getting more money in quick from anyone by putting them back on with no notice.

 

[JGCramp]

Yeah tbh I’d be fuming. Especially as it went back up, sold out rapidly again and people already getting dispatches for those

Is this just the deluxe edition?

I bought just the steelbook but haven’t been charged or received a shipping notice. My order just says processing on their website.

Oh tbh I have no idea mate. Just seen comments of whatever they bought has already been dispatched. I just assumed the deluxe

I believe Zavvi have not taken delivery of the steelbook only versions yet, none on ebay in hand so thats a telling sign.

I wasn't gonna aggro over that lol. I can take a joke lol. And oh if only you knew the things I knew lol.

Finally got mine and zavvi used the most overkill packaging I've ever seen from them. A huge oversized box as well as a 2nd cardboard envelope, very impressive for zavvi!

From what I understand, zavvi will still operate as a retailer. Unless I’m wrong. So I’m not sure why this caused EB to leave unless it’s stuff behind the curtain like new operating rules/ management etc

Zavvi will contine as a retailer but under different management

Ben posted this on his linkedin profile

In August 2023, Zavvi moved away from THG which saw a restructure. This led the EverythingBlu team to return back to being an independent retailer and continuing to produce the highest quality of home entertainment products.
