maturefan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I ordered the CD and it hasn't arrived. Instead I received a link to listen to the super-deluxe version on Spotify. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Interestingly, I canceled my pre-order quite a while ago, and JUST got the download codes for the earlier songs now. Like I really need those once the album is out. Also got the link to Spotify, which is kind of shoddy to ask someone to go to a streaming service in the email confirmation of your having paid for the album already... Also a bit nervous now, and need to go check my bank statements to make sure they didn't charge me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 typical warner. i paid them $110+ almost 2.5 months ago for items to arrive likely multiple weeks after release date (because they'll ship everything via USPS media mail). 'We make every effort to ship pre-order products to arrive at US addresses on or before street date, but cannot guarantee a delivery date.' apparently not. order hasn't even shipped yet.

hyena17 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I still can't get over the fact that pre-ordering the super deluxe box set doesn't even get you digital versions of the songs. I just had to rip my CDs in iTunes. Thank goodness I haven't gotten rid of this old-ass computer with a CD drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I would advise to fill in a request here: https://store.muse.mu/uk/faqcontact/ If you already have, but haven't received a reply yet, directly contact them at uk-customerserviceteam@wmgcustomerservice.com Sadly, we have no way to check any status of your shop orders as board moderators.

GeauxSaints Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Same here. I preordered the Deluxe CD (mainly to get the early ticket access codes) and my status is not even shipped yet. I think it's pretty lame to not even have your preorders shipped to be received on the release date. I didn't have to order from the store. I could have gone to my local store and be listening to my music right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I wish they had included a digital album download for all orders and not just the singles. Mine won't be here til next week. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturefan Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 My CD arrived but I'm sorry now that I didn;t ordered the super-deluxe version. I love the alternative versions. I can't wait to see the band live with a marching band performing 'Pressure!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 i cannot stand warner and their consistent, lackadaisical efforts w/ regard to posting pre-orders promptly. i am raising hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Couple of my friends ordered the regular CD so they could get the pre-sale codes. Their orders were both processed for shipping the day before release, and look like they'll arrive sometime next week. That's honestly SUPER shitty to tie something as important to people as concert tickets to buying the CD direct and then not being able to deliver that CD anywhere near release date. Especially when the shipping costs half as much as the CD does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can still use the code from the members' area for teh afternoon sale. I agree, it's shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madame_butterfly Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The same happened to me... I bought the Deluxe CD version in pre-sale on the 3rd of September and didn´t receive it on the release date. I thought that it was due to the holiday in my city, Madrid (Spain), and that I was receiving it on next monday, 12th (yesterday), but It never happened and as I see is a general problem. I even don´t know wether the courier in charge of delivering it to me is nor a tracking number. I´ve tried to contact in many ways but couldn´t get any answer. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were expecting to get codes for the presale, but neither got those, either. Yes, they contacted customer support, but by the time they responded (to only one of them) it was rather too late for the pre-sale. This whole thing seems like it was shoddy.

matthijs Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm sorry to hear that - sadly we don't have any influence on this process as mods other than passing on that addresses aren't working and figuring out whom to contact through what channels. Please do use the shop contact form again if your CD still hasn't arrived next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I think the point is more that people overpaid for a CD they didn't really want (since buying digital is way more convenient) for presale codes they didn't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve contacted customer service. They responded asking for my order number and details. I sent what they asked for. Got a response from the Grateful Dead website saying my DVD will be shipped soon. WHAT!? I emailed customer support again and got a different person with the same response as the first. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a response from the Grateful Dead website saying my DVD will be shipped soon. WHAT!? I emailed customer support again and got a different person with the same response as the first. Very frustrating. day 7 -- nothing. three e-mails, two batch / blast responses, with language inside saying something to the effect of 'reply to this e-mail for priority assistance.' two replies; no response. and no shipment. people in the US have gotten all the different types of media, too -- the vinyl, the super deluxe boxset, the deluxe cd, the cassette, the standard CD (all of which i ordered)...so it makes no sense...especially in light of the fact that some of those people placed orders on release day (friday) and got their order delivered by monday! i guess one has to pay the price for placing an order in august.

ncla Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 @frutiger75 did you perhaps pay with PayPal? you can perhaps escalate an issue there with the buyer protection, see if their asses move faster there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncla Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 If they do cancel, you get your money back and buy from a place that has more generous customer service like Amazon. You got your pre-order ticket codes already! I am dealing with them right now too, rather aggressively. http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?p=11921624#post11921624 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 well, i'll be damed. just got a response: Thank you for contacting us. The shipment of your order has been delayed. We have been advised that stock is anticipated to arrive sometime during the week of 11/26. Once the stock arrives at our warehouse, orders will start shipping out right away. Unfortunately, we have no further information available at this time, however you will be notified as soon as your order ships. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Sincerely, Muse US Store Support ---- yet people order the same items a few days before release, get them a couple days later, and i order mine minutes after the store went live in august and get the shaft. c'est la vie.

ncla Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I can't understand how there can be issue with pre-orders missing stock, when I got a replacement already being shipped my way. Maybe they are by accident fulfilling orders by newest order, not by oldest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It's more likely that they either lost the order or misshipped and didn't want to fess up to it, so they'll make it seem like they just had oh so many orders that they can't fulfill them. Not that overselling a CD that people want on or near release date would be any better. One of my friends STILL doesn't have their regular CD, and neither of them ever heard back about the presale code issue. US pre-sale codes might not be a big deal to a lot of people, but pretty damn important when you're trying to get seats instead of GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
