It really depends, IIRC, I had two to three special orders from them and two were about 2-3 weeks before they were sent, whilst another one took about nearly 3 months. I think it would be best to just mail them and get an estimate :/

If you're talking about the import version then it's likely never to get to them since TRSI doesn't list it anymore, but if it's the US LE set then it could take anything from a week or longer depending on availability of stock (and since TRSI has stock it's likely to be sent within a week or so).britguy said:

Play.com is closing down and transferring everything to Rakuten.co.uk. Shame Rakuten costs twice as much for most of the DVDs and Blu-rays I want to buy.

End of an era. Well, when they went to a marketplace only it was. Shame to see it go as Rakuten (barring a few sellers) have much higher prices. Obviously because of the frequent vouchers / discounts they offer. It doesn't tend to make it very worthwhile barring the odd exception.

I used it about a year ago when they had the DVD of Summer Wars for about £4 including postage, but that's the only time I've ever used it.

You can blame the scumbags in the government for that when they closed the loophole where tax wasn't charged for items coming in from Jersey if you had an exemption stating that tax had already been charged (if I remember correctly).ayase said:

Ah yes, I remember. That clever move by our benefactors to support British business that basically killed Play and HMV's online business stone dead, eliminating the home-grown competition to Amazon in one fell swoop.
Still, I'm sure it stimulated the economy (of Luxembourg) and stopped those dastardly tax dodgers (who were saving the odd couple of quid in VAT on DVDs).

Amazon was shipping everything from Jersey as well though, via "Indigo Starfish", so they were on the same playing field then in terms of competition.

Odd, it should've been dispatched by now (I've never had an order take less than a few days to be posted). It's possible that they're waiting for more stock.
When I've had general troubles with them before, I've tweeted https://twitter.com/zavvihelp/ and they've been super helpful so I'd recommend asking them about the status of your order.

I pre-ordered Garden of Sinners from them and it arrived on release, which I was happy about as it was 22nd December so I could spend Christmas watching it.
I think I'll join you with ordering A Lull In the Sea from them seeing as its £80.74 with the 5% discount for new account holders. (I just use a new email each time I order from them)
