Ouch, looks like you are the only one so far that got DHL. Mine shipped via Royal Mail with a Dec. 20th delivery date.

Mine shipped DHL as well. Not in a huge rush to get it, but would prefer to get it sooner.

Mine is shipping via DHL Global as well. I have an estimated delivery date of December 15. Something tells me this will still arrive before my Sons of Anarchy from Best Buy though.

Mine's coming via Royal Mail with an eta of Dec. 21st. I'm not expecting it until next year, though.

Amazon sent me an update to an order I placed this morning, saying that an order I had placed, originally due between Dec. 12 and Dec. 15, will arrive around Dec. 5th. I received it today. So who knows! Maybe I'll actually get the HP set before Christmas.

So Royal Mail is showing a later ETA and people are bitching about DHL already? Let's not get our panties in a bunch with assumptions just yet folks......

Royal Mail for the...well, not sure if its a win or loss yet. I ordered something used from a UK seller sometime ago and still haven't received it via Royal Mail.

What's the difference between Royal Mail and DHL and what's with the Royal Mail you guys speaking of?

Also got Royal Mail.

Royal Mail is the UK's post office, while DHL is a global shipping service. You'll hear anecdotal information on which is better/worse when it comes to shipping from the UK to the US. With DHL you can at least track your packages. Someone else may have better info for you!

Mine was 'dispatched' via DHL with an estimated arrival date of December 17th. Charming

I don't know why everyone is expecting an earlier date. Hell, even stuff from Amazon.com that are shipped via FSSS often have an estimated date that's like 7-10 days after it's shipped. Expecting an ETA that's earlier than that when it's coming from the UK, especially during this heightened security holiday time is just ridiculous.

Mine is Royal Mail with an ETA of Dec 21. Hopefully it gets here on time since it's a gift for my sister. But if not, her birthday is in January.

"Dispatched" DHL with estimated delivery on December 19.

Dispatched via DHL with estimated delivery on December 15.

for those interested an unboxing

Nice, it doesn't look that big considering it's an 11 disc set. It definitely doesn't look like it's double the size of the US as someone said on a previous page. The two are pretty comparable in size.

Here's an unboxing for the LE set, looks really nice

I was the one who thought it looked double the size, width wise, and it definitely is having seen the four boxes in the case and seeing the US version in best buy. The cases are nice though, I was expecting something like the UK Planet Earth box. This is a lot better.

If the LE wasn't double the price I would have loved to pick that up.

People over at bluray.com are reporting that they have already received their shipment. So everyone that is expecting it in a couple weeks might be in for a surprise.
