Has anyone else notcied the improved shipping times of DVD Boxoffice? My recent orders all arrived between 8 - 10 days. They're still not as fast as AB Sound but it's a vast improvement from before.

Perhaps it is because a lot of people have not been using them much lately and therefore they have plenty of stock !!
I used to use them a lot, but got fed up with erratic deliveries, tried them a coupla times recently and have been as surprised as yourself at getting the discs within a week . They do really need a live stock status though.

Gotta say that my past five discs from them have arrived within 5 days of me placing the order (that includes a weekend in one case!)

That is excellent for DVDBO - at least you have no chance of Customs so to only wait 5 days on top of that is even better! :clap:

That's 8-10 days from shipping if the disc is in stock. Obviously it takes longer if it isn't...

I have ordered around 50 - 75 discs from them and to be honest some of them have taken 8 weeks before they get delivered. (I have had a gamecube game on order since late November).

I am in shock myself that they have pulled their finger out over the past month or so. I am sure they will sink back to their usual lame service sooner rather than later.

I ordered Super Monkey Ball for my GameCube on 17th November, and it has finally got shipped today!

Now all I need is for Fifa to be shipped too (orderd 15th Dec)

Still taking around 14 days for me on average. Fastest I've ever had was 6 days some while ago. No real logic to their delivery times. :( Still, can't beat their prices most times so a bit of a wait is acceptable overall.

Seems to be the luck of the draw. Ordered Project Gotham Racing for the Xbox yesterday and it shipped today. My last order arrived in 9 days so fingers crossed for this.

Four day(ish) turnaround on my last shipment - despatched Thursday 31st, arrived Monday 4th. It was an in-stock catalogue title.

Previous two orders (one boxset) both took exactly ten days.
