Zavvi link - Withnail and I Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

Set looks to be the same as the previous limited edition (without me checking mine anyway) which is good news for people who missed out in the past (luckily got a good deal on it on eBay a couple of years ago) but still an instant buy for me.

I can never tell from the pictures they detail - will this be housed in a Full slipcase or just a slip sleeve?

It most likely will be a slipcover as the mock does not show amaray sticking out of the slip
As usual until released and in hand with customers only then will it be known for sure.

Royal Mail messed up with my parcel when shipping to Ireland
They sent the IOSS electronic declaration late as in after parcel was already received in Republic of Ireland and due to this my parcel is been returned to sender.

EU rules IOSS electronic declaration must be received by customs in delivery country before postal service in destination country receives that parcel
Postal service in destination country cant do delivery if they get the electronic declaration late as in after a parcel has already arrived in destination country.

I now have to deal with arrow to resend my order

This is a mistake made by Royal Mail not arrow
