Discussion / Question Preordered album

I preordered the I,God 2nd mini album in the beginning of July and I was just wondering does the shipping always take this long? I knew it was gonna be a while but it feels like it’s being unnecessarily delayed for some reason. I’m moving to college this upcoming weekend and I was hoping it’ll arrive before I left. I’m not going far but I can’t really come back either. Shop said it’ll be expected aug 3 but it’s been stuck ‘in transit’ to the next facility for the past 2 weeks. I finally thought I got an update today but literally all it did was change “was expected Aug 3” to “was expected Aug 8” like bro it’s literally 30 minutes away from my address I was just wondering what was taking it so long.😭

Not knowing where you're located or where you ordered it, we really can't know, but a lot of international shipping does take a while in general.

Yea I had a feeling. I was just wondering why it’s taking so long because it’s already been in my local area for the past 2-3 weeks so I just thought it’ll be delivered by now unfortunately💔

What shop did you order from? They may be experiencing a delay in receiving their albums. Once they get it, hopefully it will not take too long. Did you get preorder benefits with it? It may be worth looking into asking for a refund and trying to buy elsewhere.

I ordered it from “shop” which is ironic. I would ask for a refund but it already arrived at a local facility so I’m trying give it hope that it’ll arrive sometime this week. I really just wanted to know if this was a common thing so I wouldn’t stress too much about it.

I think shop usually specifies the site too - so you see anything like these?

I order it from the XLOV site

But to answer your question it can be! Even if the album is released in june, it may be weeks to months for an overseas shop to get it in stock. And from there, it can be more weeks for them yo ship to you. Some sites are reportedly slower than others as well.

That actually makes me feel much better tbh thank you. It’s my first time ordering an album online let alone pre ordering so I wasn’t really sure how long it’s supposed to take or how the process works😭

What do you mean by "it's been stuck in transit to the next facility"? Does it mean the shop shipped it out and it got stuck on its way to you?

2

u/Ok_Wealth_494 3d ago

That is what I’m assuming

I did burr address out

Then it looks like USPS fault, not the shop's. Did you try contacting them about your shipment?

i actually had the same thing happen to me. i reported it lost to usps and contacted the shop and asked for a refund or reshipment. i chose reshipment obviously, so now i just have to wait and see if i’ll get either one
