What a palaver! Although I would have liked the set, I am so glad I resisted the temptation.
Wow! I've received my copy and have been enjoying it. I just hate to hear of all the problems people have been having receiving the product. I was reading a thread about the Marvin Gaye and the Diana Ross Complete Albums posted a while back and people were having pretty much the same problems. Because of these problems it's going to be pretty hard for me to order from Uversal again. It seems they aren't interested in keeping return customers which is unfortunate because it's no telling what might be released in the future.
So all in all with what i paid for the UR 1966 download i have spent nearly £100 on this set..thats if i can get in touch with customs in time..if i cant then i dont know...will i get my money back?....NEVER EVER AGAIN...and they wonder why we support the bootlegs...ONE HUNDRED POUNDS?????? ...THATS WHY.
I just went through the Customs Clearance procedure, the guy was very helpful, I just read him my GM number, and my debit card details, and he said the order would be with me by Tuesday.
He knew all about this "problem shipment", had dealt with many other inquiries about it. [[Means it must be selling well, which is something!) It seems a batch of letters [[including mine) had gone astray: it had been reported to management, and an investigation was underway. He said there was no question of people not being able to get their copies if they don't pay up by tomorrow. CC would wait for a week, then send out a batch of reminder letters to those whose purchases they were still holding.
Guys having rung up and paid my £17.14 release fee yesterday [[Friday 12th) - my Motown Unreleased set arrived today [[Saturday 13th). So I am now the proud possessor of this CD set and it looks great - something to play so I'm pleased.
That's a quick turn around at the end and, yes I'm poorer and have maybe a little less hair than when I ordered it [[through frustration lol) but so delighted to have it at last. Enjoying the pics [[and Brenda looks gorgeous). Looks like a good weekend in store.
Mine arrived today. I've just got to the end of CD 4. There are so many fantastic tracks. And great to have the accompanying booklet. There's no comparison between downloads and a super box set like this.
Note to self..if Unreleased 1967 makes it to box set, WAIT for a U.K release.
...mine arrived this morning ...but without the usual wonder and excitement I usually enjoy by these types of releases ...due to the problems of purchase and costs incurred this past month...!

Yes mine arrived the day after payment, just so thrilled to have it after all what we have gone through to get it, thanks again to Lakedistrictlad for the information given to enable to things moving.
I was lucky and it didn`t take that long to get the box set. I live in Germany, ordered December 4th, no confirmation, just the one by paypal and the set arrived January 6th. I had to pay an additional 10 Euros for VAT. I haven“t had time to listen to anything but the booklet is fine and I like the photos. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to listen to the music. Just to be safe I ordered again when the set was available in Europe. I think about canceling that order.
Don't cancel your second set, its value will soon rise!:)
How many of us have ordered 2 sets anyway?
I think you are correct, and thank goodness I took Keith's advice and didn't wait to order mine from Amazon to save on shipping! In spite of all the hassles to get it delivered [[mine sat for about 3 weeks in limbo with DHL somewhere), look what it's selling for on Amazon US, although it is being sold by a private seller not Amazon itself.
