UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

The predictive search isn't working properly. In the example below, clicking on the title for the first predicted option or anywhere on the other two options takes you to the link in the background banner instead (Godzilla). The only part that takes you to Macross Plus is the blank space around the ultimate edition title, not the text or picture itself.

Correction

Acually worse on mobile. If you open the menu and click any option. Home, Title, Products, Blog. The banner takes priority. Not the menu

----

Desktop:

Ah ok looks like they removed the banner that says free shipping on orders over £20

But somehow broken the site by doing so as now clicking any option on the menu (example: Deal of the Week) while on the homepage, opens the top banner instead

Pretty sure this wasnt broken yesterday at 8pm

Nobody likes paying shipping fees - me neither - but AL is somehow special here: Most items are Collector's Editions actually shipped as small parcels, and not just Standard Editions tossed into an envelope.
Still, it's like the second price increase within a year, as roughly a year ago new CE went up from SRP £59.99 to £69.99.

You may also noticed that most CE released in 2024, apart from some of the more popular franchises like Naruto, Bleach & Godzilla, are now exclusive to the alltheanime.com store and not available anywhere else. So if you are buying many CE, the subscription will still be worth it.

It would be nice if AL would extend the early bid phase so that multiple early bids are running at the same time, allowing hard core fans to reach free shipping at least by combining two EB to a single order.

(And, again: If they'd at least implement some shipping discount for larger EU orders during sales - even if free is no longer possible. Plus IOSS to avoid extra feeson the receivers end...)

Especially if they are still taking payment up front for a product which could be delayed by many months for multiple reasons.

Most recent EB started when the product was almost ready to ship - with some exceptions like Bleach & Naruto.
Whilest Naruto faced approx 2 months delay, most got released almost on time this year. Not like the endless delays like Bookworm or Nadia last year.
 
I actually think they should scrap the subscription service now unless they make changes to it.
Non members who now spend £50 or more on each order are spending almost the same as membership. Unless your buying on sales its no longer worth it.

I was going to suggest that a directly comparable £50 order would still be £5 ‘cheaper’ with the (un)limited 10% discount. But suddenly had the realisation that I don’t know if the minimum for free shipping is before discounts or overall.
If it’s after discounts, then you would indeed end up paying £48.50 vs £50, making the total just £1.50 less. (If it was the other way round, there would probably be some bug that took 10% off the shipping too!).
But that £50 to £55.55 price range is a bit of a special case, with higher totals still benefitting from the full 10% discount.

That also implies that if there was a £10 BOGOF (for example), you would have to order 10 titles to make a £50 post-offer total, when the item ‘value’ would otherwise kick the shipping in at 5+ items.

On a previous post I mentioned I spent so far this year £454.50 on 16 earlybird releases. Only 2 went over the £50 threshold.
14×3.50=£49
10% £450=£45
£17.99 membership
The only other option is for them to ship orders when the amount exceeds the £50 or only order during sales.

A non member making a bulk buy would of saved £45+£18 membership.

I think free shipping for early buys is the best option for that tbh it gives people an incentive to put the money down when they are going to wait months
 
Bleach set 2 is live on Anime Limited's website. They also sent out an email with a code for 10% off £10 off when you buy the set.

Others were right when they said to order it from AoL, only £34.99 there with free shipping.

£44.99 + £3.50 shipping + 10% off = £43.99 🙃

Edit: Oh wait, you can stack the ANIMEUNLIMITED discount on top, so it does come down to 34.99. However, to get the Bleach code you must have purchased collector's set 1 from the ATA store.

Got an email with a discount code of 10% for Bleach part 2 because I bought Bleach part 1 collectors edition. Also says it can be used alongside the Unlimited code.

Edit: it's not 10% off it actually took £10 off. So with both codes it's £34.99

Got my email with the £10 discount code for Bleach set 2 which works no problem however when I apply the unlimited code on top that doesn't want to work. WTF :mad:. Anybody else having this issue .
