Hey all,
My RoxBox still hasn’t turned up from CDON.

Would some nice person please scan some pictures from the box to keep me going?

I’ve already seen some and am really excited about getting it.

I just wish it would arrive!!!!

THANKS

royalball said on :

At least you have something to look forward to!

thomasc said on :

True. Just expected it to be here by now.

ally77 said on :

and as of yet I’ve not had a response from CDON about where my order is!

vtech101 said on :

You have a lot to look forward to:
1.) Roxette
2.) A present to yourself coming in the mail (any day now!) :o)
3.) 4 cd/dvd=all the Greatest from Roxette!!!
4.) A colourful booklet that you haven’t read yet (and we both know you’re gonna read this over and over and over again...)
5.) Not 1 but 2!! brand new songs
6.) last but not least, Finally, the MTV ROXETTE UNPLUGGED!!!

Has that gotten you excited yet? ;o)

Roxette-atic said on :

@vtech101 ha ha...that is so true...ive red the booklets millions of times. Guess we all have :P

roxlad said on :

Thomas, in Italy we got the GH cd’s on the 13th of October before the official releasing date and the roxbox was supposed to follow but it was delayed instead so I don’t have it yet and if I’m lucky I’ll have to wait until next friday the 27th! But there more we wait for it the better it will be when we finally have it!

*has to scrape the money together to get the RoxBox*

It sucks being a poor college student (especially since I now have to replace the starter in my truck :o( )

chrisjankunas said on :

On CDON the status of my RoxBox order has reverted from “ready to ship” to “not completed” I’m so annoyed !

thomasc said on :

Chris - I e-mailed CDON on Tuesday night and they replied the on Wednesday morning saying that my RoxBox had been shipped at 6am.

Hopefully it should be here today or Monday.

Thanks for trying to cheer me up!!

The post here is due in an hour so fingers crossed it’s arrives.

thomasc said on :

Post has been now....NO roxbox :-(

Ruined my weekend.

thomasc said on :

I’ve just checked on CDON and the status is now showing as NOT DELIVERED!!

They e-mailed me on Wednesday saying it had been posted.

I’ve used CDON in the past and never had any problems....this time however I’m not impressed.

Has anyone else had problems with CDON??

Santi said on :

It could be that there are too many orders on the RoxBox for them to handle in such a short time.

cartman said on :

My order status has changed from ’ready for shipment’ to ’not shipped’. First time i’ve used CDON and probably the last - not impressed!

roxlad said on :

that is very strange because CDON is famous for being fast and reliable!

alcibiades said on :

I’ve used CDon before, and they’re normally very reliable. I ordered mine through bol.com, but ended up buying it in a local store - however, I didn’t manage to quit my bol order, so I might actually soon have two boxes, so if anyone in Copenhagen is interested in buying a RoxBox, just let me know. *lol*

ally77 said on :

@ everyone... just checked mine and same as stating “Not Delivered”.... and no response to my email I sent yesterday morning.... I am really not impressed with this right now....

Considering this has been on order for over 4 weeks they should surely have enough stock to despatch them out right away!

I’ll give them a few days to pull there finger out and if no response I’ll cancel my order, get my money back and buy it over there...

Santi said on :

Oh well, in some countries they have not even the Hits CD yet because of delays... if everyone is ordering the same stuff at the same time, I’m sure that even an online company may run into problems. I’m nearly sure they don’t have them from 4 weeks ago.

Where are the boxes manufactured? Does anyone know? (I bet outside Scandinavia)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I got mine and it was broken, however CDON has mailed me and shipped me a second copy already. I may get it on Monday. This is sad.

ally77 said on :

I can understand a slight delay.... but it would seem they where shipping out this box last Sunday to some people before the release date....

chrisjankunas said on :

Im certainly unimpressed ! They could at least email people back ! Why couldnt they just release the poxy box over here in the UK!????

It went from ready to be delivered to not shiped ? Why ? Did my (nearly ready to ship) Box just vanish or something

Santi said on :

Or maybe they all broke, like Tevensso’s one... :D

Accidents happen :P

chrisjankunas said on :

Yeah. Someone on the inside of CDON is a TDR member still sore about the RoxBox tracklisting. He is smashing they all to get back at Roxette heh heh heh :D

Rox_Nox2003 said on :

Why are u sad? LOL I might never buy the roxbox cause I ain’t got money for that and I am not in need of desperate help LOL
Take it easy... it will come just wait and be patient!

ally77 said on :

@ vtech101 ....

I missed your comment first time around...

What new songs! lol

chrisjankunas said on :

According to CDON, my Box is “ready for shipping” again - here’s hoping ;)

ally77 said on :

I dare even look!

ally77 said on :

Yeah I looked mine says the same!

ally77 said on :

I had an email from CDON just now...

Hi,

The box was sent from us today.

Best regards
Cecilia
CDON.COM

and I checked my account at CDON and it’s now showing as completed shipped 22/10/06!

Whoohoooooooooo it’s finally on it’s way!

chrisjankunas said on :

* does a little dance in his head *

Mine dispatched too ! AT LAST ! :) Except that I am now back in Kingston - will have to wait until Friday before I can go home from Uni :(

thomasc said on :

Yes, I got that e-mail also.

I’m really not happy with their service.

They told me that it had been despatched last Wednesday - such liars!

ally77 said on :

Hopefully it will arrive by Wednesday!

natasha1 said on :

welli also got an email last wednesday saying it had been dispatched yet i havent received mine either - and im going travelling in 9 days - so not sure whether to cancel it and ask for a refund or wait and hope !!!!

davidjjanderson1981 said on :

Hi everyone,

my ROXBOX is on it,s way too. YIPEEEEEEEEE!!! finally dispatched by CDON.

Roxette-atic said on :

Did EVERYBODY ordered the box from cdon?? Maybe thats why they had so many problems...too many fans at once =)

CRIZ said on :

Hmm...I got my RoxBox in great condition on 19.10. from CDON...they’ve never ever made me sad with their service..and I hope it will stay like that!

yellowtigger said on :

Me too!!! I have very great experiences with cdon..!!! :)

ncurran said on :

They have always been great in the past, but i am little disappointed with their service in this case. I have had many more good experiences with them than this 1 bad one though, so I think I would still order with them again. And it is still only a delay of a week or so. At least I didnt order from the fanclub!

ally77 said on :

Good point Neil I didn’t think of that... if we’d ordered from the FC we’d still be waiting after Rox 25 celebrations!

@ Natasha.... you should have it this week!

ally77 said on :

Fingers crossed it comes today! :) I am eager to get listening now!

Claire said on :

Ok mine says completed but i havent got it yet..... trying not to panic maybe it will come today!

ally77 said on :

It has not turned up yet, I am guessing Wednesday now!

Claire said on :

Not here either, seriously getting p***d off now

chrisjankunas said on :

Did you really think it would arrive in 1 day? Always 2 or 3 days from CDON for me. I predict Wednesday.

kashee said on :

Back from Scotland this morning and still no signs of the RoxBox :(

Though I need to quit the whingeing and be happy that something nice is coming through the post :)

Sascha said on :

Got mine yesterday from jpc.de, 3 days delivery. And it’s great! :-D

Arlanda said on :

I got mine on 20.10. from skivhugget. Ca’t use cdon as they don’t deliver to non eu countries. But skivhugget is also great :)

fabi_salisbury said on :

just got my roxbox from cdon!!!! I was sitting here in front of the computer and heard something being dropped thru the mail slot!!! What a surprise!

HOORAY!

Here’s a link with a piccy:

*wonders if he should just watch the mtv unplugged dvd first*

ally77 said on :

Ha Ha love the picture!

Mine has arrived as well this morning.... gave strict instructions to my mum to watch for the postman at my house as I had an appointment to go to! :)

It’s so pretty shame to take the cover off it.... ;)

fabi_salisbury said on :

I am still deciding if i should open it or not!

Kidding, lol

Claire said on :

Its waiting for me at home apparently! :)

chrisjankunas said on :

Damn the central London post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case you are wondering mine HAS NOT come yet : - ( But Im not home until tomorrow so ...

ncurran said on :

I havent got mine yet either. will probably come tomorrow.

Roxia125 said on :

i have recieved my rox box from cdon.com today, without a mail that the box was send to me. I’m very happy I got the box today.

ally77 said on :

Well I took a photo, see the blog, but I’ve not actually opened it yet...

kielroxer said on :

hey! bought mine today in a regular musicstore. soooooo amazing to walk into a shop and take it into my hands...
just hope that everyone here in this thread has now got their box!btw, the single, and both versions were also available, but i decided, that 65 Euro is more then enough for the moment...if i would have bought everything, i´m sure they woulod have offered me the golden customercard for the customer of the month...
i really hope that everybody enjoys his/her box now! and what do you people here think is the best on the box? for me its the unpugged dvd, and from the four cds my favourite song is the 7207 demo. so much better than the album version!

ally77 said on :

I opened it this morning.... oh its so nice..... :)

thomasc said on :

STILL NO ROX BOX FOR ME :-(
I was hoping last night, but no mail at all.

Maybe tonight?!

Claire said on :

Im chuffed to bits with mine, its so nice. Even tho only a few songs on there i hadnt heard i love having all those HAND and RS & Ballad hits bsides etc on one cd.

kashee said on :

Got mines yesterday in the UK! Initial thoughts, love the booklet. The main selling point for me was the MTV Unplugged DVD which is fab and has excellant sound quality (compared to the Hits DVD).

The sound quality of the non-hit album songs appears to be better than the previous album releases, seems to be remastered.

The 2 new songs are nice but not as good as those which were added to previous hit albums e.g. thing about you, breathe, opportunity nox, june afternoon etc.

I now realise how many demo/unreleased songs I never had in CD format and now very happy that I bought the RoxBox despite early slight disappointment.

Ripped all the songs into 320kbps VBR and right now listening to them on my Nokia N91 at work :))

thomasc said on :

Just called the security desk in my building and they’ve confirmed a package has arrived for me....IS IT THE ROXBOX?!?!?!?

Fingers crossed for me!

Claire said on :

So.... it is possible to take the cds and put them on mp3 players unlike the ballad hits/mazarin etc?

kashee said on :

Absolutely Claire, rip into 320kbps mp3 files and load those mp3 players :)

whateveriam said on :

’So.... it is possible to take the cds and put them on mp3 players unlike the ballad hits/mazarin etc?’

I didn’t have a problem with TBH!!! What were you using?

Santi said on :

thomasc said on :

MY ROX BOX HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

I LOVE IT :-)

Sascha said on :

There’s no copy-protection on the Box, right? Good decision EMI!

chrisjankunas said on :

My box has also arrived ! Hurrah ! At last ! I’m rushing home from my Uni home to get it !!

natasha1 said on :

it arrived today!!!!
all wrapped up in plastice - so bloody exciting - cant wait to hear the demos - i got it just in time to put it on the ipod before i head off travelling YAY!

ally77 said on :

@ Claire... I’ve never had a problem copying anything Rox & related released... actually any CD’s, I just rip with Windows Media Player into MP3 format!

Claire said on :

im rubbish at stuff like that, i couldnt get any of the copy protected cds onto my computer, i thought u had to buy a special program to rip copy protected.

ally77 said on :

Nope I never bought anything special or even downloaded stuff... it just worked for me first time.... mind you saying that it was on my old computer.... this new one which is 4 weeks old today I just copied from old PC to new PC, I did rip some CD’s direct as I ran out of blank disc for burning!
