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

Ever get that rubbish, inaccurate, irrational feeling that everybody else is getting their stuff except you?
Still no dispatch for Dec 2nd order (actually the first day of the sale after the Shopify technical balls). Also orders for the 4th and 6th.
Maybe it's just me. Forgive my impatience. Gomenasai.
I thought it was starting to go quicker but still yet to ship my 2 earliest orders on the 2nd and one from the 3rd :( One of the items is a birthday present for my brother in mid January, I didn't even think i'd have to consider that it might not arrive by then
 
Orders from the 8th onwards will be shipping in February and March at this rate. Always surprising people at least ehhhh ATA.

A learning lesson here somewhere though, maybe for the 2026 sale don’t have high profile releases that need shipping out at the same time as the sale?
They usually wouldn't, in previous years releases kind of stopped from mid November and then December/January releases would go up in EB day by day during the sale.
 
Order 1 (technically cheating but this one annoys me more) - 3 items - Ordered September 10 - 2 instock items and Eizouken! Pre-order (IE the thing they said was a priority) - NOT SHIPPED

Order 2 - 14 items - Ordered 2nd of December - NOT SHIPPED

Order 3 - 3 items - Ordered 6th of December - NOT SHIPPED
Still no movement, including the September pre-order of Eizouken 🙃
 
My brothers in Christ, it pains me to read of your continued anguish. I shall 🙏 for you all, and your orders getting sent before February / March. God can only do so much~

If continue to leave thine orders 'till the next of whenever, with them still sending day 1-2 orders, you are enabling a repeat of this fiasco. As my friend pointed out, AL think they are doing us a favour by taking our money, and getting rid of old stock. They expect you to await Santa's (overworked) elves, like good 'lil boys. Unless waiting on the £9per mystery boxes, get the rest off eBay (Eizoken etc available from Fake Hanners; accepting offers of £75+vouchers)... or Dec 2026 when back on 'sale'.

Previously, when suggesting Anime Limited are now corporate/soulless - offending an unnamed errant pup in the process - my meaning was that those in charge care more for £ over meeting customer demand. This was not the case, way back when: incompetent, yes, but never feckless.
There were even 🔴/🔵 cards, listing mystery box contents; each suggested by specific staffers. Compare and contrast: where are those same red/blue cards now!?

Their will be various logistical reasoning but only one root cause: maximising 2025 profits over xmas, without enough staff to meet demand. Otherwise, common sense surely would've gone against a dozen preorders, each taking priority, during their busiest period. Even now it continues unabated with Diebuster etc.

Math was always my worst subject... BUTT even I got my calculator out to read the writing on the wall for my Dec 13th order, based on Dec 2nd BOGOFFing. That and their casual, unapologetic return. 'Twas not upsetting having my monies depleted for months: NEIN, 'twas simply the only way to make a company care--by removing money from the equation.

My brothers, have some self respect and instead of complaining to deaf ears and blind eyes 'ere, cancel thy late sale orders. 'Tis the true path. Together, my brothers, we will make the Andrews hear us~

See through you we do... Think compelling cancellation will move your order higher up the dispatch queue, do you?

Insidious is the dark side.


;)

If it helps ease anyone's suffering, the Crunchyroll store is also sitting on my pre-Christmas order ("processing" since 19/12)

Jerome wouldn't have allowed this!

Maybe not but given he was also big on promoting all that "shoujo doesn't sell!" nonsense I kinda hate him sorry not sorry. (But I do sincerely feel for you and your lack of your pre-Xmas Crunchyroll order!)

You wrong me with such accusations of manipulation, whilst quoting my typo: only pure hearted intent, as a godly man, guides meeee~
There is no desire in my cold heart to taunt Andrew back onto AUKN, either!

PS: I posted my cancellation order, number 'n all, as an image earlier in this thread... SO THERE/objection. What say you to that, huh!? I have the high ground.

PS2:

must be chilly up there on thine high horse, wrap up warm now!

You type as if my vantage point does not enable me to see with greater clarity. I look out for my comrades, whilst knowing I can attain greater power by severing the bonds that bind. That is no contradiction!

Wolves hunt from up high, as I do in Warsaw... which is currently entrenched in snow. Riding horses towards higher ground makes sense, does it not!?

ordered some CEs on the 2nd day of Xmas sale and still hasnt dispatched :(
The same thing happened last year (which is one of the main reasons I didn't bother buying anything this year) It is crazy that they don't pull out all the stops at what is their busiest time of the year.

I found this while searching for information last year as I was in the same situation as you:

UK law
(Consumer Rights Act 2015) requires traders to deliver goods within 30 days of purchase unless you've agreed on a different timeframe.

Maybe send the an email and mention this. I hope you get your stuff soon 🤞
 
Not sure if it's relevant or related but I also preordered the Danger in my Heart CE last year and the release date of that is 19th Jan.

I'm not sure if they are going to bundle that with my Xmas order or not to to save postage.

I sent a email just now just in case.
