UK Definitive Comic collection from Hachette now in Australia

[griffin]

At my post office were the latest two volumes as well...

[griffin]

For those still getting these, another two arrived today, so keep an eye out for yours.

I want to go to my Post Office Box and see what's arrived - but it's not worth a $1k fine getting caught going.

Mail is an essential service. how far away is your post office?

Mail is an essential service. how far away is your post office?

15km away from home, but 500 metres away from my office though so usually very convenient!

I don't think travelling 15km to check a mail box is essential and AusPost refuse to forward anything from the POBox to my home address unless I have a tracking number for it, and these deliveries don't have one, nor does the envelope with my new drivers license in it! I was thinking that if I got pulled over and couldn't show a current license it would back up my story of why I was travelling out of my 5km... but I could also get struck twice!

[Paulbot]

Vairn, thanks you are right and there's info on the DHHS website saying you can travel outside the 5km to collect mail so I did.

Disappointed though, another two volumes on backorder

It's so frustrating as I was an early adopter, I've been there from the start of this subscription and yet I'm still get my volumes a month after most others, and I keep getting short changed an issue

[griffin]

That's so unprofessional.
I think it is time to call them up about the earlier two, now that it is beyond 6 months... and then check up on the recent two while you have their attention so that you don't have to wait another six months. (use the phone number in the first post)
Maybe they only send shipments to Australia every 6 months - maybe ask how often they send stock to Australia, and if it is less than the time since those issues were released here, I'd be wondering why they haven't sent the missing issues within that time, or in a timely matter.

Yeah, they can't stop you from collecting bills , so all mail is counted as an essential service.


What scares me about your list is that apart from volume 73, they're the same ones I'm missing.
I'm also a month behind, but I think that has todo with then being unable to find my credit card details when Bisset magazine went bust. so It all got delayed in postage, even though they seem to take my money too often in my mind.

I did end up gettting issue 60 tho. but not 58, so I just keep emailing them, and they just keep saying they will source them for me... hopefully, it turns up one day,
My Packages have tracking numbers, maybe cause I send them to a postal locker, but they appear on my mypost account.

[Paulbot]

Even socially distanced, as soon as the worker at the Post Office put it on the table I could see I was short-changed, again!

Hoping to get this resolved

Assuming that Hachette has collected them in in-universe chronological order, it's quite amazing to think that IDW has been responsible for over 50% of Transformers comic story-telling.
