UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

No IOSS is a really big shame I really want to use ALs store on a regular basis but small orders make no sense so I tend to just buy in bulk during the sales to offset the extra charges
 
Well, I was going to put an £100 order together for this sale, but I won't bother now without the free international shipping - If they totally drop the free shipping for all 3 of their big sales, I won't be ordering much of anything from them anymore, so probably no reason to keep my AnimeUnLimited membership, either. I'll just buy one or two CE titles at a time from MVM.
 
While losing the free international shipping is a bummer, at least I don’t have to hit the £100 threshold (not that it was terribly difficult to do) anymore. I’ll just have to be more selective with future purchases and probably lean on Anime-on-line more often.

Still no emails with discount codes. Not even an email about the sale. It's like they've lost me on their member database. Luckily, there's nothing that I want (that I don't already have). Any this way, I'm not tempted to pick up the mystery box on a whim. Phew!

Or they just didn’t bother sending the discount codes out to everyone, as I haven't received any emails about the sale either. 😮‍💨
 
I have received two emails, one for the discount code for email subscribers and one about the sale. Although I have no interest in this sale as I already own most of items I want and there is no free international shipping for the few items I do want.

To be fair shipping costs are getting at more expensive these days it’s north of $40 to ship to US atm, even just shipping to Ireland is like £9 or so

AL offers free UK shipping, with an estimated value of £2.99 per CE / £1.55 per Standard edition.
As the free shipping treshold was £100 before VAT, one would need at least 4 CE or 12 Standard editions (of the sale items) to hit that £100 treshold - so the included "free UK shipping value" actually comes pretty close to the actual shipping costs for European destinations...
So it would be quite fair to get free EU shipping for large orders or at least some discount on the actual shipping fees. They could also offer a discount on US shipping, as that would likely be more expensive so they couldn't offer it for free (at least not for £100 treshold)
 
I assume they are extremely busy as they have got a lot of licenses recently so that’s part of it but its side effect is leaving people in the dark. When you send an email and it takes like 5 days or longer to respond it feels weird
 
There doesn’t seem to be a 10% off discount code for normies. Here’s the 15% off though.
