I expected as much though to be honest. Play-Asia estimates the shipping date to be tomorrow and hopefully it does *fingers crossed* not received any emails or anythin yet
Though I probably won't get it till mid next week or something

I've heard CD Japan charging moar for the shipping or somethin, is this happening with Play-Asia as well? If so I'm F***ed

first of all welcome back vinimin!
that wouldve been nice to come back to, and im waiting too! whered you find out the estimate from? cause i order from play-asia too and if it comes in tomorrow thatd be awesome! after all the waiting lol. and i havent received an email about the shipping cost going up, although ive received the email that its already been shipped out and on its way. and i figure they wouldnt ship it without you accepting extra shipping charges if there were any. so hopefully that means there are none...

oh and the NUMBER ONE SPOT is only a matter of time for SCANDAL woooo .punches.

heh sankyu ^_^

I found the estimate on the site under the 'My account' page and where it says MY ORDERS
But it sounds like yurs has already been shipped out? The status of mine is 'Preparing order' so hopefully it should be shipped tomoro *fingers crossed*
And yeah if yur one has already been shipped I dont think they'd charge yu moar. . .but then again I dont really know about this stuff XD

Ohh isit Arashi at No.1 spot? hmmm Scandal vs Arashi. . .I'm thinking Scandal will remain sitting there at No.2, Arashi are really popular right? ~_~
No.2 still very good ^_^

actuall yeah that makes sense now that i think about it. lol i was wondering why i never heard of the artist "Storm"
... and of course that's Arashi translated haha go figure. itll be a good matchup to see whos in the number one spot when they release the next one!

oh yeah and i checked play-asia and now the TB+PB is labelled with a 14.40 shipping cost as opposed to the 4.90 i paid when i pre-ordered! phewwwwwwww .sweat.

and life is good... but itll be MUCH better when it arrives

Arashi is huge. They just released their album last week and its already the biggest selling album of the year so yea they will be holding the No1 spot for some time.

Let's hope that PlayAsia keeps their word on keeping the low shipping cost for those of us that Pre-ordered the DVD/CD/PB!

The price we pay for being a Scandal fan

Does anyone know what the postcard is in the CD+DVD version? It looks like some sort of giveaway.... can anyone translate the form?

EDIT:Still not totally sure what the postcard is, but I got a translation of the form:

住所 (商品発送先) address (shipping address)
氏名 name
電話番号(日中連絡が取れる番号) phone number (reachable during daytime)
年齢 age 歳 -years-old　
性別　*oooops bad word detected*
男 male 女 female

Playasia is delaying orders as it's trying to find more cd/pb versions as I just received an email from them!
I guess it underestimated the demand and running out sooner than expected.

day 2 of oricon: 7937 copies sold

still 2nd. but looking dangerously to be dropping as the 3rd place is only 1000 behind.

total so far: 21335, getting closer to break last album weekly records! .clap.

Wow number 2!! Congratulations to SCANDAL!

One more and they could have reached their first number one release. But it's nice to see that TEMPTATION BOX has surpassed the number 3 spot of their BEST SCANDAL.

This number two is their highest rank ever and I'm sure number one will come very soon for sure. :cheer:

yeah!!!.uhuh.

GO TEAM SCANDAL!!! gambATTE~!! .dance.

WHOA~! .omg.

Number 2~?!
ei,sugoi desu ne~? .love.
SCANDAL keeps on going to the top,go reach number one TB~!
ganbatte~!XDDD

ah,great news,great news~
thank you~

Just received my copy, listening to the CD now

I watched the DVD their spring tour video. Tomomi got stage freight and cried . All is good because that was the rehearsal.

*Sigh* mine still says 'Preparing order' even though it was estimated to ship todai D':

I guess its the delays Mojo is talking about. . .but why dont I receive those emails?! >_>

If worse comes to worse, if the PlayAsia order doesn't ship by Mon. 08/16/10, then I may consider ordering from either CDJapan or YesAsia and just pay the higher shipping costs (provided those companies have any remaining stock available on the CD/PB or CD/DVD by then)

Here's an excerpt from the PlayAsia email...

"I am very sorry for the delay in shipping your order. There is a sudden delay in restocking Temptation Box [CD+Photo Book Limited Edition]. We are checking with our supplier for the restock. We will try to get the stock and ship your order as soon as possible. If there are any news, we will contact you. For the time being, we kindly request for your patience.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask".

Thanks Snow for that tidbit! I was wondering why she was doing that. I can imagine that there is a tremendous amount of stress on these ladies. Playing a live gig while being filmed... there are no retakes and any missed notes or mishaps are permanent.

The higher shipping cost seems worth it. I have gotten no email other than It was shipped after I accepted the extra charge (shipped a day early before the street date none the less) so I am expecting it tomorrow or Saturday which is very exciting for me.

ahhhh TOMO is just too cute...

@mrmojo when did you actually confirm your order online? i havent received an email like that and i hope it doesnt come at all .scared. maybe i got lucky and my order was before they noticed the stock cause my order status definitely says already shipped... i hope it works out for you and everyone else though! haha TB taking everyone by surprise including play-asia... maybe this means they can take arashi by surprise for that number one spot!

After I notice that my order was delayed (even before the shipping date), I politely emailed them about the status of my order! The excerpt I included previously was their response.

Imagine the company having to track and email tons of customers about their back-orders... Forget it!

Unless you ask, you won't get any answers!
I learned from past experience to pay attention to your ore-ordered goods!

For something that's relatively pricey, I guess there was some pent up demand by the Scandal fan base in Japan and worldwide!
Who knew?!

Yes, it'll be great for Scandal to reach No. 1 but it's killing the rest of us who are still waiting for our orders!

Hopefully, the order will be shipped soon.

Hey Mojo and Zimbob when did yu place yur orders? mine was on the 4th Aug, pretty late xD
Cause it sounds like Zimbob's has already been shipped so I'm just wondering maybe cus I ordered quite late

Amazon.co.jp still has the DVD edition in stock. I know their shipping is expensive but it's really fast (usually not much more than 1 day to east coast USA where I am).

http://www.amazon.co.jp/TEMPTATION-BOX-%E5%88%9D%E5%9B%9E%E7%94%9F%E7%94%A3%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E7%9B%A4-DVD%E4%BB%98-SCANDAL/dp/B003NHX5IQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1281661884&sr=8-1

I always order from CDJapan because they are reliable. I live in Singapore but the delivery is pretty fast. I have tried Amazon.co.jp but not always on time.

day 3: 4296 copies sold and "TEMPTATION BOX" on 3rd place
I don't know ... Whether it is bad?!
