Dear Customer,

Greetings from Amazon.co.uk.

We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on July 06 2010.



Anyone else get this message? :-(

[jaymajik]

I picked up a copy of the catalogue in the saatchi gallery today, great quality and signed by mario testino for £25...apparently he signed around 50 when they opened the show "just for fun". I had considered buying the book but I think this will do me for now!

[Rude Copper]

dont settle for the catalogue, buy the book, its a beaut!
i bought mine fron taschen, as i wondered if amazon only got copies that did'nt sell?
i have another one on order with amazon & have had no update so far,
glad i did tho, because there are some stunning shots in a beautifully presented edition

[RYCA]

saw a few of these in the saatchi gallery yesterday, awesome quality and size! (12ft tall picture) kate is a treat to the eye in any scale! if you can get to the saatchi gallery its well worth a visit. the highlight for me was seeing this in the flesh....



wasn't conviced when i saw it on telly and online, but it really captured my imagination.

I had an email from Amazon saying that the book was being posted yesterday, so you should get an update soon. Glad to hear that the book's good - looking forward to finally seeing it.

[stickitup]

[stickitup]

I had my Amazon copy delivered on Monday. As fragile mentioned, the box is massive and it's quite a weight.

[Winter]

Still not had a confirmation of a new delivery date from Amazon yet

[Winter]

Bit concerned Amazon are going to let me down on this now

[kristakis]

asked the questions and they sent me this:

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this item, as we're currently out of stock of "Kate Moss by Mario Testino" and our supplier currently has a number of copies on back order and will fulfil your order as soon as the item is made available.

Please be informed that as a retailer, we solely depends upon the supplier's discretion. We can only dispatch this item once we received this item from our suppliers.

I can assure you that we are working hard to obtain this item for you and we will ship it as soon as we are able to obtain it.

On the date of dispatch, we'll send you an e-mail message confirming the date, contents and method of delivery.

i cant see it happening to be honest.. fingers crossed... wonder if amazon shipped to those who purchased it at 285 rather than first come at 235 :/

Me too. i emailed them earlier in the week and they said:

I realise that you have been counting on us to deliver your order promptly. I am sorry to inform that there has been an unexpected delay in receiving "Kate Moss by Mario Testino" from our suppliers.

When we determine that a customer's order is going to miss its initial availability promise, Amazon.co.uk automatically notifies customers by e-mail of any delay to an order. The availability and dispatch times listed on our website are estimates, and not guarantees. While we do our best to stick to these times, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers, and occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply can add time to your order.

We now expect your order to be dispatched by August 27, 2010

Fingers crossed

Mine turned up on Monday, it is HEAVY (and gorgeous)

[Rude Copper]

i spoke to someone from taschen today who told me that amazon had only a few copies of testinos kate, and if you are still waiting, you are going to be isappointed.
i asked if thre edition had sold out and if they're were any more outlets, but have'nt heard back yet.will update when i have.

[stickitup]

What always struck me as odd was how Taschen make the book and offer it significantly more expensive so I asked them about this - the response was that Amazon are willing to make a minute profit on many items which count towards a volume of sales profits...£300 from source must mean theres a huge amount of profit being charged on it, and it seems they all sold $

[jaymajik]

I will be really pissed off if Amazon fail to come through with this, for 2 reasons:
(1) It was supposed to be a present for the missus's birthday.
(2) I originally ordered it from Taschen for £300 but then when I saw on here that it was available from Amazon for £75 less, I cancelled the Taschen order and ordered from Amazon. Ugh

[Winter]

Got my delivery date through today so there is still hope

[kristakis]

just got mine too.. happy days!

After posting this, just received an email from Amazon saying it has been despatched! Excellent news

[Rude Copper]

suprised to find my amazon delivery arrived yesterday
i now have a spare if anyone missed out
prefer london/essex, as its really heavy

[Rude Copper]

book is now gone
sorry to those who missed out

[Winter]

Looks like I have now missed out on this book. They had one against my name but the card they had against my account had expired so my delivery date has gone and looks like they won't be getting more. Absolutely gutted about this.
Well done to the person who didn't bother to order one and picked up Rudecopper's

[Winter]

Just hope it doesn't end up on ebay

[rosstierney]

I didn't order till July 11th (£225) but still holding out hope!
