I Just Bought … (Non-SW Shopping Diary)

I was almost unlucky with the book because the packet had been traveling 40 days.

Wow. That’s some serious time for a book travelling from one part of Europe to another. That said I once bought a book in Germany that decided to spend 2 weeks in a postal distribution center in Hamburg before it elected to move on. That was at least traceable though. The ways of the postal service are impossible to comprehend.

This issue is addressed to DHL. After Indiegogo update #30 on January 12 “Do you all have your Special Editions now?”, I contacted Harvey and he had discussing this problem with the courier till January 26 when I received SMS from DHL that I have a packet. Fortunately, I had to pay only 5 euros for pick-up.

DHL decided to cling on to a DVD I ordered from the US for over two weeks recently. Jokers.

It was incidently also DHL that had my package floating around in Hamburg

Not that I think they are worse than any of the other shippers. Sometimes incomprehensible delays just occur.

Could anyone from Holland explain why there is no “Add to basket” button at ebay.nl?

I want to buy two items not just one.

I have no experience with Ebay but I would sent the shop owner an email with your question.

A couple of Italians from Severins Black Friday sale finally turned up:

Burial Ground
Doctor Butcher M.D.

Burial Ground is hilarious. Good blu-ray too, way better than 88’s.

AvatarDK · February 18, 2018, 7:58am

Yep already had the one from 88 Films of course but had to double dip.

Dean · February 18, 2018, 8:36am

And that release of Zombie Holocaust/Doctor Butcher looks great too. I have 88’s blu-ray but am now tempted to double dip…

The Severin release apparently doesn’t have any subs for the Italian dub which is kind of a letdown though. At least it came with a free barf bag I bought both Severin releases during their Black Friday sale along with a bunch of others and they didn’t cost very much.
