Yes, they removed the DVDs and it's 4 discs, so it's thinner than previous seasons.

It got thicker* for season 2, stayed thicker for season 3 and got thinner for season 4 . It was never consistent.



*This is compared to the original Best Buy sigil and regular Blu-ray release of season 1, they later came out with a version of the regular set that included DVD which was similar in thickness to seasons 2 and 3

Mine was until now. They re-released Season 1 later on to include the DVDs. That's the one I got.

USPS - zoomed right by my house, no stopping...
UPS - zoomed right by my house, no stopping...

No sign of FedEx, they are usually here by 10am...
Not sure if DHL still exists, I haven't seen a truck of theirs in about 2 years...

So, No Game of Thrones yet again today...

Would you mind to wait till Wednesday, 4 March 2015 as this is the maximum we ask you to wait as you might receive the order much sooner than that,or you need the item urgently?

Me: Well, the Bonus Disk is a Limited Time only item. That's why I ordered it and am wanting this version of it. I also have another order, a pre-order with you and I hope that you can do something about the delivery, expedite it as well?

Amazon: If I understand correctly you are talking about expedited delivery for your pre order item?

Me: and I also want to be guaranteed that I can get the current Limited Edition.
After it left Royal Air Mail which carrier in the United States did the Game of Thrones or get handed off to?

Amazon: I do understand that the item is limited Edition and you should get it on time but as you may know, being an online retailer we rely heavily on our carriers and any events beyond our control such as this reflects badly on us. We take such reports seriously and extensively work on carriers which are not successful in delivering within the stipulated time and I am sorry for any inconvenience it has caused to you in this regards.It is handed over to carrier "ASENDIA_PACKET" and its our experience that order arrives shortly after estimated delviery date.

Me: I've never heard of Asendia Packet. Can you please confer with them what the status is?

Amazon: I am sorry but as they are non trackable carrier we can not trace the exact location of parcel.

Me: Why would Amazon send a package through some no-name-recognition carrier that doesn't or can't track packages? That makes absolutely no practical business sense.
Can you re-ship it and make sure it goes through FedEx or UPS this time?
Same goes for the next order...

Amazon: I am sorry for the incontinence happened to you but carrier is choose automatically at the time of dispatch and we do not have manual control over them and as the item is not available with us so we won't be able to send replacement for you.

Me: So, you're telling me, that you can't replace the item that was lost because you use an untrustworthy carrier? YOU NEED TO REPLACE THIS ITEM!

Amazon: I am sorry for the inconvenience happened but as the item is not available in stock with us I can not send you replacement or else I can send the replacement straight away.

Sorry Gold Ranger, hopefully it shows up soon. This is the kind of experience I've had when I mentioned my dislike of importing w/Amazon UK to jscoggins.

I'm going to fix and condense and delte this when this is all done.
It is easier to do it this way for now.

Probably true, they will dump your chat when you get off. Curious how they will fix this, this is why I don't trust Amazon UK. For the last successful package that I did receive via Ascendia, it was 3 weeks late if that helps.

Why do so many people in the States have such problems. I am thousands of miles away in the UK and imported it and got mine Tuesday!

It may still show up. It will probably just be really late if it's Ascendia. How much were they charging for a preorder of the LE set?

Because Amazon UK hands packages off to Asendia to deliver here in the US and Asendia sucks. Half the time you won't get your package. At least that's the success rate for my Amazon UK orders.

2 days late on an Amazon UK shipment is nothing. You need to be patient.

P.S. It will come USPS.

That's what I've been saying. My last *successful* Amazon UK order was 3 weeks late.
