In this morning's e-mail: A note from "inrainbowsmailroom@waste.uk.com," subject line "Your Discbox has been despatched." OMG you guys!!!!!!!!
Hello,
Just to let you know...
Your "In Rainbows" discbox has now left w.a.s.t.e. in the UK
You can expect delivery of your discbox in the following estimated times.
UK 1-8 days
Europe 1-14 days
Rest of World 5-18 days
Wherever possible (especially to customers in the USA), we've sent these by road and sea.
December is a busy time of year for postal services globally, so please be patient.
We thank you for your custom and hope you enjoy your discbox when you receive it.
Best wishes.
us @ w.a.s.t.e.
"By road and sea" sounds so quaint, doesn't it? Anyway, given that I moved house between the time of my ordering the discbox and it actually being shipped, I suspect that mine will arrive sometime around the plain old CD's physical release date. If it shows up at all!

So it's coming on a Duck Tour?
@oovy: With "Play That Funky Music" playing the whole way.
I got mine last night, but it's, uh.
Already floating around Internots.
Because people in the UK are getting theirs.
A little birdy tells me all the stuff on CD2 is gorgeous as hell, but it's kind of clear in pretty much every case why it didn't fit on the album.
@maura: Those guys just cannot stop pushing the envelope.
Good luck with british postal service...
At least it should show up in time for Christmas. Of 2008.
well at least i can look forward to hearing versions of the tracks that don't sound like they were recorded off FM radio on a My First Sony.
@Nicolars: Actually the UK mailings I've been receiving are pretty timely. Then again it's all promo stuff from the back of beyond as opposed to elaborate art boxes.
"Go Slowly" Is as pretty as I thought it would be.
I wish this had made the album instead of "All I Need."
