***Clarkson's Hot Metal finnally arrived!!!....but...***
 
So after about an eternity of waiting, my Hot Metal DVD finnaly came...
I quickly got my camera, eagerly opened the package...took out the DVD box...opened it...and...it was empty :cry:

LOL at the pic!!!...

This was my prize from the photoshop competition ranking...Jabba sent Hot Metal to Lotus and me being the top two winners...

The package was tightly sealed and looked intact in perfect conditions...I highly doubt it was opened...

I guess Jabba mixed up or it was already empty when he bought it... :? ...who knows...

Well at least Jabba now knows how long it takes to send something from UK all the way around the world to Nicaragua... :wink:

Thanks a bunch anyways Jabba!!!!

Toronto 12-12-2004 04:33 AM

who are 'they'?....it was sent by Jabba.

Thats bad news, but if it seems intact then it is really strange. :?
FPVPSI might be right, could be a prank by Jabba.....lets hope so anyway :)

sikx5 12-12-2004 06:03 AM

God damn it! thats gotta suck, hate when people steal shit....

TT 12-12-2004 06:27 AM

OH SHIT! I really doubt somebody opened the envelope, stole the DVD and put the box back in.. or is it possible? Was the envelope apparently still sealed?

na2o 12-12-2004 06:50 AM

may i know y u have a barbie's pink comb on ur desk? :? :lol:

saadie 12-12-2004 08:20 AM

Well if ya crafty enough sure.... but a bit much for a DVD IMO........ i've never heard of stuff like that happening.... usually the whole thing goes ahem "missing"

No.1 12-12-2004 08:37 AM

LOL.... i'm sure it was an innocent mistake by Jabba 8)

BTW - where is the ol' dog :?: ... i haven't seen him on here for a while :?

I didn't see this reply.. uhm well, I can assure Jabba double checked.. both packages had the DVD inside the box before sending them obviously. And only an idiot would make such a mistake.. and Jabba isn't an idiot at all :)
The DVD was in there when the package hit the UK post office! :( 100% sure about this.

But since you will probably win the DIVX player too, Jabba will put another DVD together with it, and this time with pictures showing also the DVD itself.. will be sent FedEx (wich will cost way more than player+DVD) hoping this time nothing will "vanish"

possessed_beaver 12-12-2004 11:59 AM

so im guessing there was no tracking on this package?

What petty bastards :| that someone would steal a DVD that was a present/ prize and go to so much effort in doing so.... really makes you lose faith in people........ we've had so much stuff go missing with the UK post office personally.... so i wouldn't put it past them....... :|

Chingachgook 12-12-2004 12:45 PM

DAMN !! I'm sorry for you mate ...
My brother's laptop broke down, so we send it to the Asus Assistance but someone stoled it ... now we're waiting for a new one without paying ..

DAMN IDOTS :twisted:

Well it sould because I don't really think nobody would dare to touch the content of a fed ex package!
It sucks major balls and would be nice to find out at wich point the DVD disappeared.. and I wonder if we should we check eBay to see if a Hot Metal w/o box will be put up for sale...

deth 12-12-2004 08:53 PM

Damn...hope teh divx player and 2nd dvd get there intact!

Jabba 12-13-2004 07:12 AM

Chaos as said the disc was in the case for sure....I am not really surprised that it was stolen however as the post in the UK is terrible for theft. I already had another DVD that was stolen this week that was being sent to me...so I indeed share your pain.

I am going to send you your Divx player by fedex and I will put another hot metal disc inside the player....I will also take photos this time as proof of what I am sending.

As mentioned by TT the shipping will indeed be around $170 but I guess its worth it as your should get your prize within 4 days (in time for Xmas)

Pokiou 12-13-2004 07:25 AM

lol.. damn sucsk to be you :P joking ..i got my hands on it here in australia and it was full ... lol go figures.. sometimes things jsut dont work right .. o wait my bad lol :P

Jabba 12-13-2004 01:06 PM

Good spot T

No they don't officially sell them in UK, in fact Chrysler Dodge sell only the Jeep range, the neon and the voyager/caravan in the UK, AFAIK, oh and that awful cruiser thing. You could have kept that on your side of the pond IMO.

It's too damp in the UK and petrol costs too much for pick up trucks, most people have vans instead, and 99% are diesel. Having said that, we get the 4 cylinder versions of the Ranger/Mazda B, Hilux (Tacoma), Mitsubishi L, Subaru Brat, and that really is about it.
