I have never gotten a tracking number but I've always used the cheapest shipping option. Not sure about the more expensive shipping option.

Zavvi has shipped most of my orders untracked despite having paid for tracking. I'd had to contact them to have the shipping charge reversed. I have now reverted to standard shipping, having given up on them ever shipping anything tracked. In fact I only ever had one order ship tracked. Their CS claimed that whether or not they ship tracked depends on which warehouse is doing the shipping. Who knows?

What really gets me is that they actually charge my card for tracking but fail to provide it. That is inexcusable. They really need to fix their shopping cart and order fulfillment. The people who developed their system appear to be incompetent, I'm sorry to say.

Ordered both on Friday and got them yesterday (Monday) morning - great service from Zavvi (this time!)

After the awful original steel for GOTG2 this is a welcome replacement, and the lenticulars actually match up with the picture this time, which is always a bonus! (I'm looking at you AoU!)

Damn, this is tempting, even though this is pretty much the Blufans.

But different colours!

@Portista or anyone else that have this already,
can you please confirm the finishing of the Steelbook,
is glossy, bare-no-finish or anything else?

It's zero finish.

Thanks @jamesdevil!
I surely have hopped for a glossy finish, at this price
(or I might not know what the price of such item is usually ⁉️⁉️).

Yep, I bought both but they are definitely overpriced.

Sorry @jamesdevil, I come back to you again about the finish:
So it is Zero Finish and not Matte, right?

I only know this explanation and examples from this French site:

Someone might be able to explain better but:

Glossy = reflective
Zero finish = some reflection
Matte = no reflection

I don't have these in hand yet but per places like HDN it is zero finish.

is this a lenticular a magnet on these recent zavvi releases of thor 3 and the gotg2 and if they are magnets, do they have a debossed square border under the lenticular magnet?

Yes it's a lenticular magnet and No, Thor Rag and GotG2 are flat-front, no embossing or border.

Just out of curiosity, is the estimated delivery date for despatched items fairly accurate?

I've always gotten mine before the last date. I got both (this and GOTG2) in 10 days after buying them at release.

I'll play the other side of the coin and say I've never had a good window of when a steel from Zavvi will arrive. I ordered two alongside Guardians and got one of those, but have yet to see the others. And that's the general trend. Fire and forget on the order screen and call it a day.
