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

    So, as I see this kind of thing cropping up a lot in convo across the board at a time like this, here's how order fulfilment works: The fulfilment warehouse is basically split into two "teams" - pickers and packers. The people picking orders take the correct stock from the shelves for an order...

    That's a separate license I believe.

    They're continuing to employ additional temporary staff through this period to maximise staff availability to work through the backlog. They're as keen to get through everything as we are, and hundreds of orders are being shipped out daily, so we're getting there slowly but surely. Again, very...

    Want to drop me a message with these so I can take a look? While Perfect Blue is an issue in terms of stock that we're trying to claw back from elsewhere, those other items should have been shipped by now so I want to check up on these and see what's going on there.

    Not the case at all - InuYasha is a complicated project because a. There aren't lots of materials available (and we often have to chase down more, plus we've been commissioning our own articles to provide more context and discussion of the series), and b. We're authoring each release ourselves...

    You know that saying that "no news is good news"? Well sometimes no news is good news... :D Nothing we can talk about right now, but that doesn't mean that nothing is happening on any of those titles.

    There was some Eizouken stock held up at the tail-end of Christmas that was stuck in courier hell - I know this has arrived now, so drop me your order number in DM and I'll check to see what's going on there!

    Nope, these are both unrelated - just hold-ups over the Christmas period more generally with production processes means stock is being delivered later than initially expected on these.

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

    Over 60% of orders from that first full day have shipped - most of those outstanding orders there now are very "complex" orders (i.e. large numbers of items, all of which are different), which are always a slower process to ship as they require a lot more picking, scanning and packing of items...

    As others have said, anyone who wants a refund is welcome to contact us and we'll refund them in full, as per consumer law. Our fulfilment partner closed their distribution centre on December 23rd, so that simply isn't correct at all.

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

    The main issues here are twofold: 1. People want big releases as soon as possible - imagine the outcry if we'd delayed Arcane Season 2 into 2026? 2. The initial projections for all of these big pre-orders was that stock would arrive in November, giving us adequate time to clear all (or...

    Honestly, this is a very fair point, and it's entirely on me - my focus before Christmas and now has been to keep on top of where we are in a factual sense, identify issues and future solutions - as a result you're right, while we've been apologising in one-on-one customer service conversations...

    We aren't - overseas orders are handled in separate batches to domestic ones (due to differing couriers and collection times), and there are exceptions in terms of shipments being centred around specific products to speed up the number of orders shipped in a given day to maximise throughput, but...

    I'm getting this chased constantly, as we're still trying to claw back stock over-ordered by another retailer to retrieve the units we need for our (and other retailers) outstanding orders.

    We're waiting on a second batch of Diebuster stock arriving, which is why that will be held up for now.

    Due to changes in licensing restrictions, this will released will be The Place Promised in Our Early Days only - we can't include Voices of a Distant Star in this edition.

    The plan was always take to a short break after Part 9 to work on the final Collector's set and the remaining standards, so stay tuned in a few months for news on the rest of the series. The next instalment of Thousand-Year Blood War is also on the cards and being worked on for this year too...
