Es gab eine erhebliche Verzögerung, dazu folgendes:
Hi,
you receive this email because you (pre)ordered a copy of „It’s Psychedelic Baby – Issue #1 (Magazine+CD)“.
We want to notify you, that there is still a delay on it’s release. We hope to have it in stock next week (if no further complications cross that plan).
If you are interested in the reason of the huge delay of this magazine, feel free to read the story:
Well, we originally sent our order for pressing the bonus CD of the magazine to the pressingplant on 3rd April 2014. Until late August, we didn’t receive the bonus CD from the pressingplant, despite the fact that we contacted them for ca. 20 times regarding this. They simply told us somewhen, that they did not even started with the production because the person in power was on holiday and forgot to process our pressing-order. As soon as we got that information, we cancelled the order there and moved to another pressingplant with it (this was on 30th August 2014). They
pressed the CD very fast within only 2 weeks. You may think; „What’s the point now? why do you still don’t have it in stock yet?“. Well, that’s a good question and we asked us the same thing. After some days went by and we didn’t receive the bonus CD’s, our CD&LP-broker started asking the delivery-service (DPD), where the parcels are. He first contacted them on 12.09. to ensure that everything is in order and the parcels will be picked up at the pressingplant. DPD told him, that they only picked one of two mandates by mistake (the lonely one were our CD’s) but they promised him to take care, that the other mandate will be picked up too the same day. After the disks didn’t arrive 4 days later, our broker phoned DPD a second time on 16.09. and asked about the status. They told him, that nothing happened so far, excused it and promised again that they will take care about it. On 23.09., a week later, nothing arrived and our broker phoned DPD a third time. They told him again, that nothing happened, but this time it seems, that they really cared. Because now, for the first time of this odyssey, we can see a progress when we fetch the delivery-status with the trackingnumber we’ve got. So, soon the CD’s shall arrive! Then everything just needs to be inserted to the magazines (which are already finished since months…) and then we directly ship it out to you and all the others, who ordered the magazine!
We are really sorry that you had to wait for it so long!
But as you might understand now, it wasn’t our fault and we tried to solve this as fast as possible. To be honest, we never had so much trouble with the manufacturing of a release than this time!
