Has anyone's status on these gone to shipped yet? Mine is still in process and I put in the order October 30th, and its supposed to arrive on or around the 25th but theres no shipping notification yet and its the release date today.
I emailed WB about because if it hasn't even shipped yet it says it will take 7-10 days for shipping once it finally does which defeats the whole purpose of the preorder, etc
I actually had the exact same concern. I haven't gotten an email yet either as to whether or not it's been shipped. However, there's a store by me that got a bunch of them in, WITH the 7" as of yesterday! I agree, that would completely defeat the whole purpose of pre-ordering. I could have just gone to the store and picked it up! I hope I get it in today!
My card hasn't been charged yet, they are supposed to charge it when it ships. Anyways I'm still waiting on a reply from WB, I asked them to cancel it if they cant get it to me within the week because I can just goto one of our specialty vinyl shops and get it now at this point
This is the email that I got Friday night... Thank you for your recent order. The items listed below have not shipped and are currently on back order:
QTYItem 1Christmas on Mars Special Edition Vinyl Package FLAMING LIPS VINYL Price $27.98 ADVANCED ORDER Estimated Street Date 11-25-2008 1Christmas on Mars Mega Deluxe Edition Bundle The Flaming Lips Extra Large Price $39.99 ADVANCED ORDER Estimated Street Date 11-11-2008
We expect to ship within the next thirty (30) days. It is quite possible that we could ship earlier. If you wish to cancel your order please contact our Customer Service Department at 866-759-4843, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 12:00 Midnight (EST), or send an email to wbr@b3custserv.com. Best regards, WARNER BROS. / NONESUCH Customer Service
WHY DO STORES HAVE IT AND THE PRE-ORDERS DON'T? Looks like WB screws the pooch yet again.
I just spoke with customer service. They said my copy shipped yesterday, and I should either get it tomorrow or Friday. I guess there's still a couple hours for UPS to deliver it today.
when I preordered on 10/30 it stated nothing about the release being different than the others and when I got the order conf email it said estimated street date was 11/25 which I was fine with thinking I would have it "on or around" that date according to WB. Anyways another day, no response email from WB, no shipment..
Originally posted by A Pink Robot: My card was charged right after I ordered it. Do they ship via US Postal Service or UPS?
Right, mine was charged immediately after I placed my order as well. If it did in fact ship 11/25, I'm easily giving it a week before I start trying to contact customer service and what not. I remember when the Lips photo book didn't arrive immediately I freaked, but it eventually arrived. Let's hope this experience is similar.

My account status is on backorder, too. I ordered on 11/4, but not until today did it mention being on backorder. Calling customer did nothing, either; they were just like "We'll bill you when it ships." I'm crossing my fingers that it'll arrive my Christmas, as it is a surprise gift for my boyfriend.
