Wow this is very unexpected and VERY exciting! By the end of the week I will have placed an order! It's not limited edition, is it?

Amazon UK and Play both have the digital version available to pre-order now but sweet Jesus I hope that the physical version of this ends up being sold via anyone other than Sendback. I despise them for many reasons but in days gone by, highwaymen were hung for far less severe robbery than they commit!

The order summary sheets now come with a returns label in case you need to send back a damaged item!!!

Why the F**K does this have to go through Sandbag? When I order music, I would very much like it packaged well enough to NOT break/get damaged in the mail, which apparently happens every time with Sandbag. Even though they have astronomical shipping fees. I considered ordering a second copy as a gift, but seeing as they charge the same shipping amount over again for each additional item... Ridiculous! Is there anywhere else I can pre-order it? If anyone finds an alternative, please let me know. Ugh, same feelings here too. My last experience with them was the worst (even though I did get a free album out of it). I just don't want to go through that all again if I can avoid it. :/ Any hopes of it being sold elsewhere?

To my utter joy I have just stumbled across the physical copy on pre-order from Amazon UK - the reason the CD wasn't showing on my original search was that they've got the title spelled incorrectly as Brumelia! I've placed my order and done my happy dance safe in the knowledge that I don't have to get it from Sendback *woot* Edit: Here's the link for anyone who's interested www.amazon.co.uk/Brumelia-EP-Patrick-Wolf/dp/B00622E7CW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321478883&sr=8-1

And it's cheaper getting it from amazon because there's free delivery. I bought it from sandbag the minute i found out it was on sale, oh well! And i just noticed - the price has gone up on sandbag!!! It's £5 now and i definitely paid £4 for it - i looked up my order history

Good grief, it's even cheaper to send it to the US through Amazon UK! I thought it's be about the same as Sandbag, but the total is almost $5 cheaper. Although I wonder if I'll get charged a $1 international fee from my bank. It'll still be cheaper either way. Plus I get the added backing of Amazon, which always makes me feel better. I've never had to deal with a problem through an overseas Amazon, but the US one has always been good to me even when there is a dispute. Thanks for giving us the heads up!

A few days ago it defitinely was 4, I would have ordered immediately but I had to wait for my Paypal funds and that cost me £1 apparently...

I ordered 2 copies from Amazon for a total of £11.17 (including shipping to Sweden), which would have cost me £16 from Sandbag, plus all the potential trouble with returning damaged stuff. HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY! /T

The only one i've heard so far is Pelicans - i've decided not to listen to any of the previews so all the songs can be a nice surprise when the CD comes It's difficult trying to resist though! But only 2 weeks to go

I also assume they're clever enough to use cardboard boxes for shipping. Using padded envelopes for fragile boxes and 7" singles... was NOT such a great idea, Sandbag. /Tommy

I've never had a problem with the stuff I've ordered from Sandbag and it travels pretty far to get to me . They could keep costs down if they bothered to pack things together, though. I ordered Brumalia, the calendar and the tea towel last week, and today I received the calendar all on its lonesome. I guess the tea towel and the cd will be sent in separate packages as well, since Brumalia won't be sent for another couple weeks. The calendar is awesome, by the way. So pretty!

well they could. but they won't, cause it would require some organisation skills. it's so useless. even if you order 2 or 3 times the same thing, they will handle it as individual orders, which is a pain for the customer and most likely for them as well... so why? oh right, they're idiots.
