That may be the case for those living in the UK, but living in the EU means the Double LP and CD from the OS and the SDE bluray will not arrive until weeks from now Same for the Dancing Star CDS. The Relentless yellow LP also took weeks thanks to Brexit.

Will find a way to get a digital copy on Friday though.

I'v never had issues with the speed of getting stuff from the official site, usually comes within a week or so. The only issue I've had is with having to pay the extra customs charges which did take about 3 months each of the two times I've had to claim it back.

I'm in Ireland and when I clicked to pre-order the Nonetheless bundles the day it was announced, it brought me to an new Irish only store. I did also buy the Loneliness cd single through it and received it the Friday it came out without any extra charges, so fingers crossed I'll be getting Nonetheless on Friday too.

Isn't there still a special arrangement between Ireland and the UK when it comes to border control and customs due to the Northern-Ireland situation?

I am in the Netherlands and OS orders have taken ages in the last 2 years; packages were held at customs for days without anything happening, and I had to pay import fees which I then had to get refunded, which indeed also took months. Even orders from Amazon UK take much longer now than they used to (normally within a few days, even post-Brexit), despite the shipping cost to the EU having trippled recently.

Maybe it's all due to staff shortage at both borders, dunno. Pretty annoying though.

I am not expecting physical copies of Nonetheless before mid May but who knows... The bluray will probably the first to arrive as the SDE shop is very well organized.

Email from Royal Mail confirms delivery middle of Thursday. Getting excited to receive early.

Wrong thread post sorry.

I had an e-mail to say it is in the post today. So, may get to listen to the album earlier.

Had email that blue ray is on way and also signed CD has been dispatched, so both potentially arriving before Friday!! Going to be a great weekend!

Technically not any longer. Although UK stores can join the IOSS Scheme which allows for no extra charges to be levied on anything bought under €150.

Amazon UK works with this, and the SDE shop was working with it but they've had issues in the past couple of weeks apparently which has caused EU customers to get caught for import duties which they are working on but they've suspended EU deliveries for the moment until the issue is resolved.

For any other items I buy that may be over €150 like big box sets, I tend to buy from amazon.de or .it or any of the other EU stores which don't incur any charges and tend to be just as fast and delivery as cheap from getting them from the UK!

UK Sucks. You ruined yourself with Brexit.

Lucky - no emails, nothing so far of what I ordered have been sent. I guess I will have to wait long time for it.

Anyone had a despatched email from the pet shop boys store yet ?
