I asked why the box sets were taking longer and was told they are being sent from a different location with a trackable carrier. But I'm still in the dark today.
The response you received was pretty much the answer I was given, I emailed to say that I was out of the country from the dates 4th Sep - 8th Sep and that should the set be shipped within those dates I would need to make arrangements. I was assured they definitely wouldn't be shipped before those dates by Arrow, and that they were likely to be shipped next week (this week).
It's obviously the additional packaging, logistics etc that's causing the delay.
I'm still waiting too. Then again, I had a pretty large order. Their site says it shipped March 30, so if it's like my other UK orders, it should arrive next week.
This is from their 8th April reply to my query: "The sale exceeded all our expectations and as a result some items went out of stock before our systems were able to update. Don't worry though we are rushing further stocks in - some titles have already been replenished - and your titles will be shipped very shortly."
According to their website, eight of my titles are in stock, but they are still waiting for stock of the other four. If there's no movement by next Monday, I will suggest that they ship the ones they have, and send the rest in due course. I think I might try single item orders in future.

And just like that, mine are in. With four postcards too! Thief, Mark of the Devil, Bay of Blood, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Has anyone else stateside experienced way longer than normal shipping times for orders placed in the recent Arrow store sale? I placed an order of 8 titles that was dispatched on 12/18, and there's been no trace of it as of today's mail. I've ordered many times from the Arrow store in the past and I don't think it's ever taken longer than a week to get here (I live in the southern US). Any advice on whether I should wait it out and hope the pre-holiday clog is to blame and sorts itself out, or do I need to go ahead and contact someone from Arrow? I was hoping to place another large order before the sale ended but don't really want to do so if my first order is still outstanding. Thanks so much for any advice!
I think all UK mail is slowed down en route to the states right now. My Amazon.co.uk orders used to take six days but my last order took almost a month to get here
Same issue here in France. My package has been shipped on the 22nd, still nothing today. I'm thinking the holidays might have slowed these but it'll soon take my package twice the usual time to reach me (it usually takes around 5 open days).
I think they also said they'd be taking a little break during the holiday season. I ordered something from MOC a week ago and just got a notice that it shipped today.
FWIW, I've had no slowdown at all - my one Arrow sale order got here in DC eight days after shipping and an Amazon UK order in ten days, which is about average from my experience.

Received this Saturday in excellent condition. Thanks Arrow!
My order of thirteen items was delayed a couple weeks because Arrow ran out of two of the titles. I received the shipment notification Tuesday the 12th and received the package in Pittsburgh yesterday (Thursday the 14th)! Unbelievable! It’s hard to even get domestic service that quick. Job well done, Arrow.
And today I received my shipment notification for the Rivette set. \:D/
