The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 2013 Pre-orders

The offer in mine is that you get £2 off a Hobbit mug. I already have them though so I only pre-ordered to be guaranteed the £15.99 price. When I first went to reserve my copy as they told me to do on their Twitter account, the guy told me I couldn't. So I asked again, he checked the system and saw that reservations had been reactivated on their system over the weekend. I know what it's like when the company you work for is in administration (been through it twice at Music Zone/Fopp and Borders) and there's always a lot of conflicting information going around!

Og, absolutely and I realise it's not necessarily their fault - they only know as much as their management tells them. I'm sure all of us have been in a position where the people above haven't filtered down new procedures or updated information!

The last thing I had from ASDA I got a dispatch email followed by 'we're going to delivery your item today' message (which they did). If you're worried you won't get it in time for Monday they it might be easier to cancel and grab one from HMV or a supermarket.

I'd check my email but it's having a bit of a crisis during the switch-over of providers, Outlook Express has just downloaded 18,000 new messages for me to go through!

Well, mine is coming from Tesco... so I don't think it'll be here until Tues/Weds next week.

I wasn't going to get it, but ended up pre-ordering when the Django offer was on.

Considering I've paid 1st class to Amazon for it to arrive on release day I'm guessing they'll send it out tomorrow or maybe saturday. As long as it arrives on monday I'll be happy. If it arrives tuesday or after then they're getting an angry email!

ASDA do send a dispatch confirmation email so check your spam box, mine was posted by asda yesterday but hasn't arrived today (the postman has just been)

Tomorrow is very possible, sadly, it's up to royal mail now and they can be useless here where I live.

Their estimated date is tomorow between 8:00am and 17:00pm so it is possible. I will be very thankful if it is the case.

Sorry to hear that they are usually pretty sharp in my neck of the woods. I haven't had a blu ray yet from anywhere delivered by royal mail that hasn't arrived before release date apart from avengers assemble which arrived on release date as i ordered from sainsburys. So fingers crossed for both of us for tomorow.
