I'm amazed at the picture quality. I'm used to seeing the original film on a grainy bootleg dvd, and a grainy bootleg vhs before that (It hasn't been shown on British TV since 1982). Hats off to Peter Jackson!
How long are you willing to wait for it to be announced?I will breathlessly await the UHD4K version rather than 'surrender to the MOUSE!'
You're lucky , for my £104.05 dispatched but they'll deliver on Wednesdaywell Amazon took £104 English poundies out of my bank account at 4:30 this morning, so i'm presuming the box is on its way or at least being picked/packed?!
edit: my mistake, dispatched today, arriving next Tuesday!!

I had a slightly surreal conversation with someone from Amazon UK earlier this week about a pre-order for the Fast and Furious 9 Blu-ray which was released last Monday in the UK but showing a delivery date of next Saturday in my account. When I checked on Monday to see if the item was in stock it was there but still no delivery to me before Saturday. What was weird was that if I placed a new order on Monday it would have been delivered on Tuesday. When I raised this with Amazon the only explanation that they could come up with was that my Saturday delivery was coming from a different depot. In the end I cancelled my original order and placed a new one on Tuesday and it was delivered on Wednesday.You're lucky , for my £104.05 dispatched but they'll deliver on Wednesday
This is not new and is fairly common. My guess is on a macro-logistics level it makes sense.Shipping is nuts these days:
Amazon US indicates that my copy was dispatched to UPS yesterday from their facility that is 47 miles away from me in Braselton, GA.
UPS received it at their Braselton branch and expediently dispatched it up to their Louisville, KY facility.
So the package was 47 miles away and now is 368 miles away. I wonder why we are having logistics problems in the US
Yes, amazon quite often says delivery tomorrow and it arrives later, or delivery next week and it arrives the next day! Its one of the reasons I don't have Prime, I don't see the point of it! Plus amazon is the only website where if you don't accept all its cookies but go for a custom setting it almost daily asks you to accept all cookies.I had a slightly surreal conversation with someone from Amazon UK earlier this week about a pre-order for the Fast and Furious 9 Blu-ray which was released last Monday in the UK but showing a delivery date of next Saturday in my account.

With Amazon UK it seems that pre-orders don't get much priority - gone are the days of receiving the item on the day of release.
My Let It Be set is due for delivery next Tuesday but as I'm covered by Amazon's pre-order price guarantee I can't see me going through this routine just to pay a bit more and get it earlier. Who knows with Amazon these days, it could turn up anytime between tomorrow and Tuesday which makes making plans to be in to receive it a bit last minute at best.
All this is part of Amazon's Prime service.
Evidently my copy is riding along with yours! Got to Braselton @7:10 PM and then it arrived in Louisville, KY @9:42 AM today.... and I'm a little over 2 hours south of Braselton.... Abbey Road came up from Miami last time.Shipping is nuts these days:

Two of us riding nowhere....@Hamilton59 - well at least our copies have good traveling companions
Quite often? Not in my experience. Occasionally? Maybe - like 1 in 10 or less.Yes, amazon quite often says delivery tomorrow and it arrives later, or delivery next week and it arrives the next day!
