Bah! Mine is probably stuck in my mail room at university. Hopefully they'll post a note under my door saying I can pick it up tommorrow.

Received mine today. Shame I can't watch it until I'm back home next week.

Ordered City Girl on friday, after reading that it had shipped super early! Alas it hasn't arrived just yet, but I wasn't expecting it til tomorrow or wednesday anyway. Put my order in for M too while I was at it!

I guess no one else has tried to order Scandal from the sale - seems it actually links to you buying Face of Another, as I've discovered this morning when the 'wrong' one turned up! That'll teach me to pay more attention when buying things.

(From my point of view, I've emailed Eureka about it, but thought anyone ordering Scandal might like the heads up.)

My copy of M on Blu-ray arrived this morning! I think this is the first time I've actually received a title before even dvdbeaver have reviewed it. Not had a chance to look at the disc yet, but the packaging is possibly my favourite Blu-ray yet.

Thanks Kevin, A-plus service once again!

How do I know if an order has been registered? Is any email confirmation usually sent from Eureka? I ordered Shoah and M (BD) a week ago, and the post to Sweden can be very slow, so it's probably on its way. But it's hard to know if there's no email.

I just phoned home and mine too arrived today apparently! Back home on Saturday so I'll be able to make use of City Girl and M Blus. Thanks for the great service as always.

Sorry Kevin, but the link still seems to direct to Face of Another or is there a cache issue with my browser?

EDIT: Apologize, tried the PayPal link on another browser, it's indeed cache related.

My copy of M arrived today also. Popped it in the player, which I'd forgotten was left set to Region A, so I was promptly led to the 'wrong region' screen...

Consequently, I'd like to register my approval of using the word "Drat!" If only every DVD producer showed such lightheartedness, the world would be a slightly cheerier place.

I like MoC's "Friendly Notice" message at the end of the feature too. Put it at the end so it doesn't piss people off having to sit through when they just want to watch the film and it is just a simple reminder that if you download these instead of buying them then they won't exist in the future. None of this crap you get on a lot of UK DVDs: "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG! SO WHY STEAL A FILM?" Completely forgetting that the pirates won't see this over a minute long forced clip.

Hi Robert. I live in Sweden as well. I ordered two movies (The Idiot and Silence) from Eureka on the 28th of January and recieved them yesterday (february 11th), so i guess you may have to wait a little bit longer. I didn't get any email confirmation, but you could always send a mail to them if you're worried.

By the way, thanks to Eureka for doing a great job!

And of course that first incredibly irritating advert was the subject of parody by Adam Buxton.

Received my copy of the M blu-ray yesterday, wich was quite a surprise to see it turning up so fast and early.
Watched a part of it and the picture quality is amazing.

Got my DVD of "L'Enfance-nue" this morning.
Fast and reliable service as usual. So refreshing to see a company that really delivers the goods in every aspect.

Has there been a change yet to letting the PayPal basket hold multiple titles rather than one at at time? I want to get a big order in before the sale ends.

Did MOC send you an invoice first? I've still been having trouble with the basket.

Wanna make me some presents for my birthday! :D
