UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

OK received half of my order from DHL, slightly concerning they split the deliveries up (or I'm assuming they did (Packagin box even had a "2/2" on the top))
The mystery bundles were so mixed up with everything else I have no idea what bundles they are from (I bought all including the clearence).

Some/partial Mystery bundle item in spoiler:
Legednd of Hei
Pompo The Cinephile
Recycle pengundrium
Burn the witch
venus wars
Free final storke part 1
Hula fulla dance

But as you can see I did not recieve 5 or 10 so they look to have split them between the 2 parcels

Already know TV ones:
Renta magica part 1
kaiji s1
Abandonded scared beast
chakika
Shirobako
Devil survior

Just got shipping notification on Violet Evergarden, which is nice but honestly I would have preferred if they'd just delayed it and shipped everything together even if I had to pay for postage on this order.

I care more about the stuff getting here safely than it being a bit quicker.

My observations from recent times are that they will simply split larger orders (as noted by SquigglesWorth), apparently limited by size of shipping box, but also some larger UE-type editions ship separately regardless.
With my order being 30-odd items, I fully expect it to be split across 4-5 boxes.

Yes, I know; it rather makes a mockery of the shipping charges and combine/split limitations.

… and this does demonstrate the current “mystery box” methodology of simply providing the fulfilment centre a list of titles. Whereas in years past, there would be actual pre-packed boxes (marked “red” or “blue” or whatever) added to an order as a single item.
 
I will be looking around on any UK sites for a cheaper used copy of the Chaika Season 1 CE that was in the Mystery Box 1, perhaps some people may not be interested in keeping it... I certainly don't want to buy a copy at full price plus the £25 shipping from AL, that puts it at about $90 US for half of an anime - practically Aniplex pricing. Too bad CeX doesn't ship outside the UK.
 
Welp, fulfilment centre is shut until January now, looks like I'm only getting 1 of my 55 items I ordered in time for Christmas. Gutted as many of those were supposed to be presents.

I don't like to rant, but they need to sort this shipping out as it is genuinely terrible. Things I've ordered from half way across the world since have arrived with time to spare. Especially as I ordered within 2 minutes of the sale going live, surely I was one of the first to buy.

Hopefully they space out the pre-orders or upgrade their staff for the Christmas period next year.

If you want confirmation that the clearance titles are correct; I also happened to order the clearance bundle just to make up the shipping / just for the hell of it, and the Tower UE is in there (as are the others)
 
I would be curious to see a breakdown of the status of everyone's sales orders between All the Anime and Anime-on-Line. If I exclude orders that included unreleased pre-orders (since those wouldn't ship yet regardless), here's how it looks now that fulfilment centres are closed until next month:

Anime-on-Line
Orders placed: 1 (on 2nd Dec)
Shipped: 1 (on 3rd Dec)

All the Anime
Orders placed: 2 (on 2nd Dec)
Shipped: 0

samurai just means the 3 film titles I recieved in the first half/parcel, which is now 4 film titles ( as one film title was burn the witch which is actually a clearence title), but see my post above for all the mystery bundles
 
2 big orders placed on the 2nd
(not shipped yet)

1 single item ordered on the 3rd
(shipped and received on the 20th)

EDIT: Both at Anime Limited.

Had a couple of earlier Preorders from Anime Limited arrive
One Rarewaves anime order placed on the 2nd and received last week.
MediaOCD order placed on 28th November arrived on the 15th this month
My last AoL order was placed on the 28th as well, and I've got that and two other pre-orders this month
