Ordered from beatles.com - BS

On August 9, I ordered 3 Mono Boxes along with some stereo discs from the official Beatles site. Was wondering what the order situation was, since tomorrow is 9-9. No email regarding shipping. So I went to the site, and this is what it says:

The Beatles (Remastered Mono Box Set)*
(BEA47213)

*Pre-Order! Release Date 09.09.09
Orders will ship first week of October

This is really a bunch of crap. Evidently no one who ordered there is getting the music this month. They can send me an email confirming the order, but NO email about the shipping delay.

Their orders are handled by Fanfire, which is now part of Livenation. I called them and the CSR said that emails were going out today. Nothing yet. At least they let me change my order from 3 mono boxes to 1.

This is completely unacceptable. Has anyone else ordered from there?

I guess I'm getting the one after 909.<<

Or perhaps the long and winding road.

The End.

They said my order will be shipped out when I'm 64.

I arrived at my local Best Buy at 9:50am A-town, PA.
I was the 9th person in line on 9/9/09, the store opened at 10:00am. They HAD 2 Stereo ($199.00) and 2 Mono ($229.00) Beatles box sets.
I got 1 of the 2 Mono box sets. The other sets were purchased by others in line before me. The people after me in line were unhappy with the quantities or lack there of.

I hedged my bets and ordered Mono sets from 2 sources.

CD universe shipped on the 8th and Barnes & Noble claims they shipped today (tracking number but not in UPS system yet).

They have backtracked on the 'limited edition' marketing. They will make more until sales drop. I actually believe that it is possible that they did the classic video game maneuver of initial shortages to trump up demand.

I ordered the mono box from Music Direct on July 18th. Received it today. Sounds great!

It was said to be a limited set so I ordered right away.
