So, I didn't realise it had been so long since I created this thread, I knew it had been a while but I just looked and realised I ordered the two CDs on the front page, on or around the 31st March.
It's nearly 9 months gone by with nothing delivered. It's taking the absolute pi$$. I feel rimmed by BTR but it's a kickstarter, not a lot you can do when they take the money and deliver f u ck all but this was a full on store purchase and I got nothing for it.
My new years resolution for 2020 is not to buy anything from HU again, hopefully I can stick to it!

I genuinely can live without a couple of CD's when I already have the digital files.
And I don't even like digital.
Hope you don't miss out on loads of stuff....

I have the digitals too, but if it was just the digital I wouldn?t have paid as much!!
More than that, it?s the complete loss of trust! I fully expect HH6 to be announced March/April time and as much as I will want to buy it, there is not trust that if I fork out my 15 squid that I will get the CDs. There are other great products that appear on the site as well but I don?t have money to give away with no guarantee of product.
At one point I was buying everything HU released and putting up with the delays because CDJay came on here and kept us updated but 9 months and vague promises via the HU Facebook messenger, this is a pi$$ take, especially as subsequent albums have been manufactured and mailed AFTER e.g. HH5 which makes me wonder how there can be a manufacturing delay.
CDJay did me an absolute solid when the VG collection was released and I had lost my bank card, I have some serious goodwill towards him and HU but it?s being brutally tested.

He might only miss out on the excuses as to why things aren't being posted by the looks of it.

Thanks, I needed his spokesman to clear it up.
We still get the music, personally I can wait for the CD's because I know they WILL arrive eventually.
More important things to worry about to be honest.

Did they ever update the Fade & Bananaman and Storm Anthology Vol 2 digital tracks as there was a couple of tracks that had errors and the overall sound didn't seem like they had been remastered like the first ones had been. Those CDs never materialised either and there seems to be no sign of any future instalments. Though as this is a project being done by DJ Storm not HU, I don't think it is fair to blame them entirely for these instances.

Digital/Physical, it doesn't bother me TBH in terms of playback. My PC plugs into the back of my fairly meaty hifi and just about everything I listen to comes out of that.
What actually irks me is the not getting what I paid for and having no solid idea when/if it will arrive. I know there are those on this forum who believe it will come eventually and their newsletter today alludes to as much as well but 9 months, regardless of the issue is... excessive.
If it had been sold as a digital only product then I would have still bought it and from the newsletter today, that appears to be the model they are going for from now on!
What'd be nice (since CDJay has gone radio silent) is an email to all the people that bought it with a more solid update of what the delay is than "it's coming" every once in a while from them up until fulfilment.
I might buy that HHC Undergroup EP before the year is out, my new years resolution doesn't kick in until next Wednesday :-)

I wish they offer some samples. I want that new HHU EP, but that's a lot of $$$ to shell out for a blind buy.

they usually use soundcloud/podcasts for their samples.
And that new HHU album... do anyone know who the hell Jack in the Box is? With a generic artist name like that, it doesnt make it easy to find out... and Discogs has 15+ entries with artists or bands that calls themselves that.

I have complained about this many times and they don't seem to care. Can't even be arsed to put anything on soundcloud either.
Blind purchases used to be fine with HU but nowadays, they knock out a lot less than they used to and a higher proportion of that tends to be less than what it once was.

Exactly my point. They can't rely on their 2006 grounding as an outlet for blind buy trust. I have complained about it as well, and they still don't offer any samples. Heck, it can't be that hard to do post a youtube video of the tracks. It doesn't need any fancy visuals, just the EP cover as the background would suffice. Most of the HU crew are from the 2000s when there would always be samples on juno.co.uk for upcoming CDs, so I don't get it.
