I got my email saying the CD's had shipped a few days ago too. Normally that would be cause for celebration, but today Canada Post went on strike, so lord only knows when I'll get them now.
In the Netherlands and no shipping confirmation for the NLB CD singles from the official store
Order Status: In Progress
Unfortunately other sellers outside the UK have listed these with 2-week delivery times so I expect that they have to import from the UK too. And amazon UK is no longer an option since they raised the shipping cost.

Same here in Belgium...
Order Status: In Progress
Shipped to: (my name)
This is the first time that I didn't received a shipping confirmation saying my order is on his way to me.
Don't give me all your northern pain
Don't sell me New York in the rain
Let's leave our promises behind
Rewind and try again
Here in the UK I see I could order both CD singles on Amazon and get them today. Still no sign of my official store order - although Royal Mail have been shockingly bad over the last year. The delay to the 'Feel' CD on Amazon previously must have been a one-off. I shall go back to ordering from Amazon in the future for the best chance of getting releases on release day.

What did I just say...? Checked the tracking:
Sorry, your item went to Colwyn Bay Delivery Office in error, so we re-routed it immediately. More information will be available as it travels through our network
For those not in the UK, Colwyn Bay is in Wales. I'm in Hampshire in England. FFS
Pet Shop Boys are one of just three acts for which I still by physical releases (others are New Order and Arab Strap). It really shouldn't be this difficult to get a release to your house on release day when you pre-ordered it weeks before. Effing dreadful.

I got mine from Amazon on release day in the uk. This despite it initially saying they would come next Tuesday! Suddenly Thursday Amazon said it had dispatched, and Friday they duly arrived.
Was slightly cheaper than official site too as I had prime so postage was free.
Got a shipment notification too now. No tracking details yet though, if you enter the tracking no it says: "Je pakket beschikt nog niet over volggegevens. We raden je aan om het morgen opnieuw te proberen of de verkoper direct te contacteren"
(no tracking available yet, please try back tomorrow or contact the seller directly)

psb.jpgMine arrived today in London. And it's official - it's Clean Air Hybrid Electric Bus (all capitals)
Argh all the different cases...makes my brain itch
I think sentence capitalization is the standard in the PSB Stylebook but caps are probably allowed here because a CAHEB is a five-word proper noun.
Y'know, I'm starting to wonder if the reason all our CDs are on back-order is because Parlophone have decided to horde them all in the UK in anticipation of a Strictly bump. In which case, I'll allow it, but I hope they print some more up soon.
