king ubu Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Tom Storer said: I ordered on the 5th, and since then when I look at the order on the amazon.co. uk site, it has said the same thing: Items not yet dispatched: Delivery estimate: 17 Oct 2007 - 26 Oct 2007 So on the fifth, they estimated a two- to three-week waiting period. They've never changed it with regard to my order, although apparently it's changed for new orders more than once in the last week. Ordered 9th, it says 18 Oct - 26 Oct for me... I'll offer the 2001 version (with neither booklet nor box) for 5000 € on Amazon Marketplace if they deliver! Quote
Tom Storer Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Hey, don't do that! Cut me a deal for 4500 € ! Quote

couw Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 I'll take 40%. Beer will then be on the house. The guest-bed is some swedish contraption and you'll need some beers inside to appreciate the comfort anyhow. Quote
Matthew Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Now that postal service is back in England, it'll be interesting to see if anything will be shipped this week. Quote

As for my Stralsund trip, that needs to wait for a while, german trains are so effing expensive, and I wouldn't want to travel via Poland, if not necessary... Quote

Heh... I'd strongly recommend Poland by car to risk lovers. I have bright memories from Gdansk... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Y4bffZxBg Quote

And if you book the train like 5 years ahead, paired with your cheapo last minute flight, it costs only something like 5 pound or so... he he. No car lover here... in fact unable to drive, but now let's get back to Monk! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Got an email from Amazon today saying that the item I bought with the Monk box was now shipping and that the Monk box would ship separately. Sounds sort of promising.. Quote

Sounds sort of promising.. I think they'll just hold out for a few more months. Once the dollar slides enough, 10 pounds will equal $100, and their problem will be solved. Quote
RDK Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Is this the big 12x12 box or those smaller boxes they were selling at Zweit... ? Quote

Matthew Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I just hope that this is for real. I've been slowly listening to my Monk cds recently, and they're making a huge impact on me -- I want to dig deeper into his catalog. Quote

Actually, Luton Airport is pretty impressive these days, I was there a few weeks ago. There are trains about every 15 minutes into London and there is a very cheap Easy Jet bus sevice too. Quote

RDK Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I've got the small 2001 box, but might jump on this again if it's the 12x12. Quote
