Has anyone seen this it is like paradise for 10 hours.
I may never have a reason to retun to AJAS


from November 4th 9:30Pm our time we can order any Madman anime title at $10 each! that is everything except pre-orders

http://www.madman.com.au/actions/catalo ... &sortKey=3

and no excuses you can send money order or b-pay and postage is a flat $4

the animes are charged at $10 per disc (no addition cost for collectors boxes!) in other words the less discs in a series the cheaper it is...

so now with the chance to buy any anime avaliable what will you buy?

This is where I start swearing because I don't have any money at the moment.

Ditto.

Time for a bulk order (and I just spent $96 on imports). Hehehehehe....

i have a lot of money saved i thought i would never touch! well i can't help it splurge!

If I ever had access to the DVD player that has been locked up for over a year now I might consider that offer.

There isn't really anything in their back catalogue that interests me that I don't already own or is cheaper in shinTokyo at the moment (namely Trigun).

I have a feeling a certain person starting with M could alleviate you of that problem. -_-

Which one starting with M? I'm hoping you're meaning Mappy 'cause I don't want Madman's suggestions.

i have looked at a few things, the only thing better is me in ecchi land

some items topping my wanting list
tenjho tenge
Burst angel
Comic party
Full metal panics

i Wanted to see how long it would take you to finish reminding me when i would get the last two, well i found out that is never so this is my way of silencing you!....

so bazza when you finishing the love hina boxset?

any way on the site ordering DVDs 2 hours down, 1 successfully on my shopping basket and 1 item i am having troubles with, site is overloaded and slow, long night i see

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one experiencing difficulties. I think Madman serious underestimated to number of people that would log on.

You too, eh. Just had to restart explorer (after it crashed, and I had $150 worth stored already).

All I want to get is the Azumanga box set. What does it do? adds it to the shooping basket not once, but three times, one of which was at full price! Try to remove offending items and it empties the thing completely.

It's going to be a looooong night!!

Watch some anime while you wait.

I've already sat through V1 of Moonphase tonight.

Thank you to the overwhelming number of people who shopped in Madman's recent "$10 per disc 10th Anniversary Sale"!

Has anybody actually managed to receive their order yet?
A fortnight after ordering and mine is still waiting to be shipped and all it consists of it the Azumanga Daioh box set..

"Awaiting despatch" for 5 Days now

Like how hard is it to put it in a box and then put it on the back of a truck.

But If I order my stuff at madmans regular price my order would have cost me $1,373.15 before shipping. But its only going to cost $500 + $7.28 Shipping

I guess I can wait ANOTHER week.

They just better not take as long as my 100 DL DVD+R's are taking

What about Rasberry's order? That was so big that I'd almost put money on there being items missing when it does finally arrive....

Mappy wrote:What about Rasberry's order? That was so big that I'd almost put money on there being items missing when it does finally arrive....

I think they'll have to put a logistics guy on it full-time just to get his order or the door.

i have not received mine

in the 2nd chance offer i ordered the missing 2 volumes of what went missing... also i ordered all the Area 88 dvds...
______________________

received an e-mail.... the FMP box set was removed from the order due to it being $10 and not $70, they gave me a link to the proper FMP boxset price except it was after the sale hence higher price... on top of that they said that i have $10 credit towards my next order, except they don't tell me how to redeem the $10 since they don't refund money if paid by b-pay.... they give credit... have to send off a second e-mail since my first was a week ago and i never received a reply.

in short not happy bout the FMP, they advertised and i paid therefore i should receive..... and then told that i don't get the $10 back, it will be credited towards my next order, except they don't tell me how to redeem the $10....

I am still awestruck by the order list, rasberry.

if i am not mistaken 98 + 6 - 1 = 103xDiscs + 2xpostage = $1038

package 1 : Not received
package 2 : Not received
Full Metal Panic : Cancelled by madman
Email sent : no reply
My FMP $10 : MIA

Rasberry, threaten to call the ACCC. It is illegal under the Trade Practices act and Australian common law for them to advertise a product and then refuse to sell it to you once you accept their offer. The took your cash, now they have to pony up the goods.

there is a clause in their contract when you buy off their site that allows this i think.... you have to accept the contract when you buy off them....

Dammit, I better be able to find a copy of this clause otherwise it's validity is seriously compromised.

Well about blutig time.

still waiting! might be lucky if i receive them after my return from Perth!

They'll probably reach Perth before they get here at this rate. -_-

Has anyone received anything yet?


Good luck if you order last thing on the Thursday, I don't think you'll see anything till next YEAR!!!!


Headline; Madman needs more monkeys urgently, Must be willing to work extended hours, FREE bananas!

well what was said in that quote box...
Sale on November 4-5th

monday 20th(some 17th)= this week orders start processing ( took them 15 days to start? )

shipping process takes 5-10 working days. working week =5 days

australia post takes 2-3 days on top of that day 1 = sort day 2 = transit day 3 = arrives to me

now last order dispatched Friday 1st December and arrives to the last person hopefully by 5th December for em..... total wait for the person 1 whole month after sale

First person to receive them then would be some victorian who managed to get done on the 17th's small lucky few to get processed and that means that they will receive them tommorrow?

Geez, our Madman is beginning to like better atm...

OMG, I can't believe I said that. Meh, at this rate, its merit will expontentially increase.

This whole thing has been an organisational and pr disaster for Madman. They had big plus points for doing it in the first place, but the minuses have just been compounding ever since. I doubt they ever expected the influx of orders that they got in the end....

I just sent off my first email to Madman

Myself wrote:My first order was: MA##### (Which BTW took 1.5 Hours to complete because of the server)
And My second was: MA#####

Both have been "Awaiting despatch" for over a week. While my mother who ordered after me (even my second order) has already received her's.

Shipping even from the US maximum take a week( 7 Days ). But from the looks of this it has not even been shipped.

Orders should be shipped in the order they were invoiced. It has now been 20 days since I placed my order payment has already been taken over 2 weeks ago and still no goods.

People In my local anime club have even had items pulled from their orders why the full amount has been billed.
For a lot of people this is going to go down as the birthday of pain and suffering.


Disgruntled Regards.

Tim Rutter

Not happy. Not happy at all.

mine has the processed and dispatched on it for a few days now... no parcel yet....

and MM will not reply to my e-mails asking about the $10 off my next order !

Rasberry wrote:mine has the processed and dispatched on it for a few days now... no parcel yet....

You should be demanding they backorder the items that were removed from you order.

BTW it only takes 2/3 days to ship by road from QLD to Perth.

From Melbourne I've only had stuff shipped within usually 24 hours.

Rasberry, you should email Madman informing them to send a money order for the amount owed to you. Money Order not check, checks can cost you money.

Seriously, they are only pissing off their target market, here. How many people are going to have "customer loyalty" to them after this? I'm starting to believe they didn't have half the things they'd put up for sale....

i think half of it is put aside befrore the sale. Forinstance, some boxsets were out of stock minutes before the sale, and just after the next day were in stock...

.... Now they did have most things, what did you miss out on? But of course bad quantities

It's definitely obvious all they wanted to do was clear out a warehouse filling up with anime dvds people thought were overpriced.

Ryan White wrote:It's definitely obvious all they wanted to do was clear out a warehouse filling up with anime dvds people thought were overpriced.

Half of which were probably Heat Guy J boxsets to begin with....

Pretty efficient company.

I thought it was all the Ikkitousen DVDs they couldn't give away 2-3 years ago at the Quiz Night at AvCon. God, that prize just made me laugh. Here's all the Ikkitousen DVDs we couldn't sell because no one would buy them.

I don't think we will ever see people paying for Ikkitousen DVDs no matter how cheap they get.

Ryan White wrote:I don't think we will ever see people paying for Ikkitousen DVDs no matter how cheap they get.

was this directed at me... i got the set in this sale

No it wasn't directed at you. I don't have time to read your list and apparently I stand corrected, there are people willing to pay for this, damn you must love fanservice.

That and the Galaxy Angel dvds. This year it was the copious collections of TNT dvds.... Whilst I don't have anything in particular against either Tokyo Underground or Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, I can't say I'd be leaping out of my skin the purchase them, either. And having them as prizes in the various competitions was almost.... I dunno, it made the Ikkitousen dvds look ordinary by comparison, and not in a good way.

Is that "got" as in "already received" or "paid good money for it and still haven't got my hands on it, yet"?

Damn i was looking for these two series in JB HiFi, it was on their website for 9.99/disc, but the stores have it for 24.99, i don'y have a credit card for the site XD

Damn i was looking for these two series in JB HiFi, it was on their website for 9.99/disc, but the stores have it for 24.99, i don'y have a credit card for the site XD

Is that "got" as in "already received" or "paid good money for it and still haven't got my hands on it, yet"?

paid good money and still haven't got my hands on it

When it comes to that genre and what JB-Hifi stocks, I think we all know Greg is the expert.

if you noticed, my dvd collection includes ikki tousen, galaxy angel series 1,2,3 and tokyo underground, and daphne in the brilliant blue. what are you saying about my taste in anime??

One should never leave a post hanging with a question like that....

I think that you fell into a trap, Bazza.

Given his love for traps, does anybody think he'll be afraid of falling into one?

Wins an internets for best line I've heard today.

Well its been 9 Days since Madman declared its would only be 5-10 Days until every thing was shipped.... Um Yeah right!

Mine are still "Awaiting despatch" .

Madman has had my money for 20 days now.
With no products shipped or ANY reply at all.

Some one in at Madman is going to be getting a VERY bad phone call tomorrow.

I think its time someone gave the ACCC a call.

I received my order today. All DVDs ordered present and correct.

Haibane Renmei box
Millenium Actress
The Cat Returns
My Neighbours The Yamadas
Pom Poko
Porco Rosso
My Neighbour Totoro

Just a small order for me.
Let the viewing commence....

Damn you.....now I know why I mainly get all of my DVD's imported these days....

It has been a few days since i could visit this site, my 100+ DVDs arrived on Monday

Rasberry wrote:It has been a few days since i could visit this site, my 100+ DVDs arrived on Monday

Damn you, DAMN YOU I say!

I'm still Awaiting despatch
So much for Madman saying (I my last phone call) mine would be shipped by Friday
All I can say is they are going to be getting another call on Monday.

Please include in your phone call abuse and disappointment from me as well. I got my confirmation email at 1:22am, probably making me one few people that actually managed to get their order completed in the first three and a half hours.
It's become a race for me to see what comes first, my new portable drive through Tim or my order from Madman. Pity is I didn't really want this to be a race.
Tim will probably win, Australia Post is really unreliable at getting mail to my place in the time they promise. My local library is a two minute walk away and the post office is only 50m away from it yet it takes two days for letters to make it here.

I might be wrong, but could it be the larger orders like you, Tim and White rare being delayed while the smaller orders like White Demon's are getting relatively quick responses. Not that I'm making excuses for them but when I mentioned it to Connell the other day, that was his guess.

That theory fails so badly when you consider that my order consists of the Azumanga Daioh box set and only the Azumanga Daioh box set. Not individual volumes, the box set. One Item. Only. One. Item.

My thinkings of this are...

Madman has this realy big hat, with all the order numbers in it. The order numbers are pulled from the hat by monkeys, the problems is bananas are expensive and Madman are not feeding them enough so they are attacking all that come near the hat with faeces and what not.

I'm also guessing some of the monkeys also setup their web server

I put my money on Sloths being the true reason.

Yay My first order just arrived.

Though it was sent to my billing address and not the shipping address, And by Madman's website apparently both of my orders are is still "Awaiting despatch"
Just fills you with confidence doesn't it?!

Still going to ring them on monday, WHERE THE H3LL IS MY SECOND ORDER!

has any other posting reached 6 pages?

Ryan White wrote:I put my money on Sloths being the true reason.

They're also cheaper as they don't eat as much. They're probably hanging from the ceiling of the Madman offices right now, looking down on the hat and considering whether they should pull a name from it now or this time tomorrow after they've had their little nap.

Has any other topic been allowed to stretch on for as long as this by extraneous forces?

I started a thread on another forum that has reached 8000 posts, has reached its 3rd year and still going strong.

Still waiting to get mine. They have the right address in their system, I have no idea what's taking so long but the safety of their stand at next years AVCon is starting to become doubtful.

I think their screen at that stall playing dubbed versions put the stall in enough danger already. This will only help to attract flash grenades.

White Phosphorous grenades are much more fun.
Does Madman not know anything about it's target market? It plays dubs amongst a crowd that prefers subs, pushes anime we don't really like as major lines and has no idea what the effect of charging a third of the normal price is going to do to sales.

Madman just show the arrogance of a company that has a near-monopoly in the domestic market.

Well, its not like TNT are giving them anything to worry about.

Or they may be some mysterious deaths at Madman. Oops did I just say something out-loud?

I somehow doubt the original topic of Mendes's thread is still being discussed, anymore.

You'd have to change the title of this thread to allow it to go on for 3 years.

The sale won't go on forever but the hatred for the company will.

:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:
Yay my second/final order showed up like an hour ago.:wow:
:wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:

I guess I won't have to ring Madman now

But the funny thing is the Website still says "Awaiting despatch" for both of my orders.
May be I should ring then and go "Where the hell are my orders! Your website says they still have not be shipped!" just for fun that is

Just got a parcel notification from Australia Post, it would appear that Tim lost the race.

Recieved mine at 11am this morning....needed bigger box (they struggled to fit it all in).

Technically it is. It's a Moderators veg out thread. Those threads always have funny stuff in them.
