Update from ESP on 2015 Traders deliveries.

[Matt26]

From Terry at ESP:

Dear Collectors,

Delivery of 2015 Traders Boxes, Albums and Starter Pack were delayed as a result of the stock arriving later than planned from ESP’s distribution centre located in NSW.

We had originally planned for the product arrive at Ikon’s warehouse on Friday the 20th of Feb, unfortunately a delay in finalising the arrival of the shipping containers resulted in the product arriving at Ikon’s Geelong warehouse on Thursday the 26th of Feb at 1pm. Although Ikon prioritized the picking and dispatch of Queensland orders the product arrived at most destinations latter than we had planned, in no way is this Ikon’s fault it is a logistics issue that ESP will address with freight forwarders.

We apologise for this, and will work on an alternative solution for future releases which does not overly disadvantage the QLD and Far Northern collectors.

Delivery’s to the New Zealand market will commence this week as planned.

ESP is planning to conduct four sneak peak events prior to the formal release of NRL Elite 2015, it is planned that all four events will take place simultaneously in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand, we will have more on this closer to the release date.

Regards
Terry

Thanks for the update matt.

It would seem unlikely that stock will hit newsagents this week then.

Any sittings in NZ yet, other than TradeMe? I tried a Books&More/Post shop today and just got a baffled look.

I've given up on getting cards on the release date. It's annoying watching people bust case after case while everyone else is still waiting for stock. We're pretty lucky to have a few dealers here that make it easier to get our hands on stuff..... But all in all, it's still unfair.

I just don't understand why there are blurred lines on release dates. In all fairness it should be a release week!! That way there would be no confusion or disappointment in release times!
