I'm really curious what the bottleneck of all these delays are. Must have been at Bleep HQ or the transport from there to the mailcompany. Can't be much further away from the source, right?
Seems ridiculous that yourself and Fredd-E (until today) have been waiting so long for your preorders. You would think they would make extra sure you both get yours quick, given your roles in the community.
Assuming my re-sent order gets here okay, I will have a spare vinyl if you need it.
How nice of you to say Ian. That would have been difficult because I assume the people at Warp don't know my personal name. Besides that I really think the whole fanbase(those who pre-ordered) should have been rewarded.
I honestly think the people at Warp made
a huge mistake.. perhaps they thought that the fans of the first hour already got their treat with the whole specially crafted viral marketing trip and the share of twoism.org in it? Intended or not but this has been a huge treat for me anyhow. I can't speak for the whole fanbase but I'm sure a lot agree with me on that.
This whole RSD month will be etched in my memory forever! The record that popped up and the whole mysterious campaign that followed. On top of that the Lake Dolores listeningparty - by being able to be there "live" at the other side of the globe was very memorable - I still taste the sand -

(again a big thank you to tonx!)
Despite it being a treat, they also "used" their fanbase for this unique viral marketing campaign where most of the traffic towards media was done by us and ventilated via 2020k & the bocpages throughout the world. This whole hype generated a lot of traffic towards the new album and I'm convinced in some way it also lifted the sales too.
The least they could've done was sending out the pre-orders a day or 2 ahead of the not so hardcore fans who ordered their album later. Packing some goodies with that to me was more of a commitment to the fans of which they probably know are true obsessive collectors(most of them). Albeit it 1 sticker.. the costs of this would have been peanuts for Warp/Bleep.
Now I'm writing this all down again I'm starting to feel frustrated and powerless because I once again realise I have placed an order of 89 euros which would have been cheaper and faster to get locally or even at Amazon..

Thank you very much for you recent pre-order for Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest. This product will ship to reach you for the release date of 10th June 2013. " sigh
