Title: Privateering deluxe 3CD and Vinyl editions are sold out from MK.com!
Post by: vgonis on October 17, 2012, 09:42:24 PM
Just checked today to see if I can get any clues about why I haven't received any of the editions I have ordered over two months ago, and to my surprise I saw that these editions are SOLD OUT. Of course in smaller letters they say that they are out of stock, and that leaves a ray of hope, but I really don't get it. How come these editions are sold out? They were supposed to be the commercial ones, after the simple edition and produced in vast numbers. And of course the limited edition box set is still available! So much for limited...
Of course I have received two mails, over a month ago that they have received stock for all editions and they are shipping out, at a first order first served thing, but this is really peculiar.
Any ideas?
I have only received the simple 2CD set. Has anybody received any of the 3 editions from MK.com? And if yes, when did you place your order. I did it on the 11 th August.
By the way I saw today the 3CDs editions downtown and the price was 37Euros. What the *@%&!

Pottel, sorry to bother you, but do you remember when exactly  did you place your order? It is important because I checked at my local post office yesterday and I came up empty handed once again. I want to eliminate any other possibility and then write them this long email I have been meaning to.

Yes, I intend to, just wanted to cover all bases, know some facts and fall hard on them, cause I can't stand any more of this S@%*.

I only received the Deluxe Box Set last week, and had ordered it in August.
So it was at least 2 months to get to me, and I am in U.S.

Thank you silentguy. I will give them this week and then go for it. I will complain anyway but I would like to have the "evidence" in my hands first.

Hello vgonis ! I have ordered my Deluxe Box Set at 8 August and received it the last week of September in Greece. I hope that you will receive yours soon.

Don't you all think it's "funny" that Guy posts a picture of the Super Deluxe Box on his page - now that it is sold out obviously?

Amazon.de says at the moment, "only 13 on stock" - don't know if they fill it up again after these 13 are gone...

LE, the 3CD deluxe and Vinyl editions are out of stock. The Super deluxe numbered is still in stock. Weird eh?

Carrionspy, welcome! Thank you for your reply! So I will give it this week. It should be on its way...   ::)
Glad to see someone else from Greece as well.  :)

Yesterday I received a kind yet formar email, that I will be refunded the sum of money for my not received order!  :'( :'( :'(  So after 3 months I am getting my money back (I would like to see how much will be refunded) and left empty handed with nothing but the 2CD edition... :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief
I was not given any explanations,  :hmm :hmm :hmm  even though I asked, for one and they only said that they can't re-ship. ??? ??? ??? But since I've been getting parcels from all over the world for the last 10 years and not even once have I lost or missed one , and the simple edition found its way to me, I wonder ...
Any one else wants to join me for an official complaint? Any one knows where to send the complaint so it will be heard? Thank you!

Just today I received the parcels with the rest of the editions I had ordered!  :wave :wave :wave  It was such a relief, because MK.com was in fact (with the postage included) the cheaper shop if you wanted to buy them all and it would be trouble to reorder them from other shops.
I know that I have missed the thrill of getting it together with the rest of you, (I have given up hope long ago to listening it for the first time with any of you guys), but I was excited and relieved to receive it anyway.

Just in case, for future reference, Lisa in MK.com (at the help mail Ingrid provided some time ago) was a real kind and helpful contact.

I will let you now! Unfortunately I am too busy these days as I am working many hours in order to complete some projects and also I am studying for a certification but these are good reasons in these difficult times! I am going off-topic right now...   :hmm  :hmm

Lisa doesn't works at PCM anymore...

Perhaps a case of two different people? I am talking about Lisa at help@markknopfler.com. She has been replying to my mails the last month.
