2001: A Space Odyssey (Special Edition) with Limited Edition Art Cards £9.98 at Amazon

Digitally re-mastered, and with documentories and featurettes on the second DVD, looks to be a bargain at £9.98 from Amazon.co.uk (ASIN: B000JJS982) !!


However, I`ve just received this DVD from Amazon, but the Art Cards were not included !

The wrapper of the DVD was still sealed, so it looks like a production problem.

On querying this with Amazon, they suggested that I return the DVD and they would then send me another copy.

When I asked what guarantee they could give that the replacement copy would actually have the Art Cards, they suggested that I return the DVD for a full refund !

So, has anyone else bought this DVD from Amazon.co.uk ?

Were the Art Cards included ?


PS Sorry for the crosspost in the DVDs & Films Forum - Mods, could you delete that one, please ?

Well - completely out of the blue - an envelope arrived today from Amazon.co.uk, with a compliments slip (but no explanation written on it) and with the Art Cards enclosed !

As it turns out, they`re not that spectacular - I assumed they`d be various `2001` images, but they`re just `front cover` artwork for several Stanley Kubrick films - But at least Amazon eventually supplied what I`d ordered !

Well ... not quite ... as there were TWO packs of cards enclosed !!

That mean you have a pack going spare? :)

No harm in asking...

This saga just gets sillier, as I`ve received this Email today:-

`Dear Amazon.co.uk Customer,

When you ordered the following title 2001: A Space Odyssey (2 Disc Special Edition) [1968] our offer included a pack of Limited Edition Art Cards (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk).

We are sorry that, due to an unforseeable shortage in supply, there has been a delay in sending you the promised Amazon.co.uk Art Cards.

We are now in the process of sending any outstanding Art Card packs to Amazon.co.uk customers, so you should receive your pack shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Again, we apologise for any inconvenience this delay might have caused you.`

So, 4 days after receiving 2 packs of cards unexpectedly, they tell me I should receive a(nother ?) pack shortly !?!
