    I'm seeing them as pre-order, price seems higher than mentioned. $33 for Substance. Not outrageous, but not £11

    Amazon UK say they have cocked up on their pricing so they've now cancelled my Substance order and it's been re-listed at more than double what my original pre-order was. Sly. So much for pre-order price guarantee.

    I had the same issue( though they said it was with the listing). I phoned up to complain and they gave it to me at the lowest price it went down to after my initial order. I just had to order it again.

    I have a pre-order in for Substance with amazon.ca with a release date of July 17th.No changes as of yet.
     
  5. I just got up to the same cancellation email from Amazon UK. I had pre ordered both Substance and Still when they were first listed and wont be re ordering at their current pricing. I've sent Amazon an email and will wait and see what happens. With the rather drastic fall in the NZ dollar and the pre order price hikes it looks like I'll have to pass for now.

    I contact the amazon's CS via chat and they solved it. They add just one pound compared to the original price they were charging me, not perfect but i can live with that.

    Thanks Pancat for the heads up, i doubt i would have notice this.

    Similar thing here...received an email from amazon cancelling my pre ordered Substance priced £20.99 due to them getting the price mixed up with Still. They said that I would have reorder Substance if I wanted - now priced at £27.99.
    Not happy with that I've just phoned amazon's CS who have solved things to my satisfaction - I reordered Substance over the phone for the original price of £20.99.
    Pleased with that! :)

    If you haven't already then get in touch with them as it's amazon's error not ours.

    No worries. I've emailed them my complaint.

    Right. Only sort of incorrect. They were mastered. Just not by Steve Hoffman. So the rumors were half right.

    I contacted amazon and they've reduced my order from £28 to £15. I would recommend this to anyone in the same position.

    They wouldn't offer me a reduced price for some reason, might just have been the person I spoke too but I was getting nowhere with her...may try again later.

    I would. If you haven't already, it might be worth flagging up that you know of other customers who've been given the reduction. I'm no expert in retail law but it seems very dodgy to list at one price and then change it after you've ordered.

    This sucks. I ordered for £11. I even alerted them to the fact that the image had changed to the Still cover and received the following response:

    Hello,

    I am sorry for the misunderstanding created.

    I've checked and can confirm that you order is still for "Substance" and image might be the result of error.It will be fixed as soon as possible.

    If we can help further with this or anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch again:

    Yeah, thanks for "fixing" that. Anyways. I forwarded them this email so hopefully they will lower it for me.

    Quick response:

    I completely understand the concern regarding the price difference for the item.

    However, there is no cause of concern. Rest assured, I kindly request you to place an order and write back to us with the order number so that we will refund the difference for the order.

    Blimey that's nearly half the current asking price! Goes to show that it does pay to pre order on times. :)

  18. After a couple of emails I've re-ordered and they've adjusted the pricing to match my earlier pre order. Happy enough with that.

    Has there been any information on mastering, source, etc. for Substance?

    Rhino puts out the currently available Unknown Pleasures? I gave one a try and it was pretty bad. Not sure who did the mastering and cutting though; will remain hopeful.

    I retract that statement now that I've tried them on my grandmother's player. No skips. My old player is just broken.

    I got Amazon to reduce Substance back down to 13.50 because of their "error".

    Do you remember how low it got on Amazon UK? They changed the price for me, but it didn't seem as good as it once was.
