Same thing. I figured it was getting pretty late in November, so I thought I'd ask.

I'm in no real rush per se, I just don't want it be one of those instances where it goes "out of stock" and they never get supply. They've been very reliable to date, so I hope they come through on this occasion, despite the delay.

Retro. :)

I ordered both cd's on November 16th via Juno, they've just arrived in my letterbox here in the Netherlands. I'm well pleased, first time I shopped at Juno, I'm impressed.

I gave up and ordered from Amazon UK. Arrived today. Canceling the Official Shop order. I received my backorder email on Nov 8th, so we're coming up on a month, which is too long in my opinion.

I canceled my order from the US Store and ordered from Amazon UK. I sent 3 emails over 2 weeks before I received verification of the canceled order and 5 more days to receive notification of impending refund.
My Amazon UK order shipped on a Friday and was in my hands the following Monday (3 days!)

Oh yay. A fight to cancel an order...

Seriously, tho, is something going on with CD manufacturing or something? Every single from Nonetheless was a struggle to get despite pre-ordering immediately after getting the announcemnet. Another band I like had a UK album released last week. Amazon had it marked for delivery all day yesterday but it never arrived, and now they can't tell me when it will ship, so now I have to look for another place that's selling it. All my old go-to online CD shops no longer exist and I'm not sure where to go. This is ridiculous.

I ordered Loneliness from the PSB-site. It took a month to arrive.
Nonetheless from my local mail order - arrived without problem
Feel & A New Bohemia from the official site - had to cancel them because they didn't show up after two months.
London Boy double pack - from Amazon, shipped quickly without any issues
Nonetheless expanded - from another local mail order, took a while because I ordered it together with 2 Johnny Marr reissues.
Dancing Star - probably through Amazon as well, can't quite remember.

You've got me all wrong

In the Jake Shears' "Queer The Music" podcast Neil Tennant told Jake 2024 was an extraordinary PSB year. They had so much b-side tracks they had to release 5 singles.

I live in NYC and had ordered the singles from the US store immediately after the announcement. Finally gave up, canceled over a week ago and ordered from the UK store. Both CDs arrived yesterday, and at the same time, I received the refund from the US store. I also received CD1 from Importcds, but CD2 seems to be problematic for them. Anyway, happy that I now have both. Not sure what is going on with the supply chain….

Just got a notification from Australia post to say Online Stores has notified them they’re preparing the parcel 📦 & it should be with Aus Post within 3 business days! :D
