I just assumed they worked on it on a Friday afternoon. I’ve messed up worse at work at 3pm on a Friday afternoon

God, why doesn't United Publications sell anime anymore. Now I have to fight for every larger shipment from Anime Ltd, because they use the worst courier in the world, FedEX. Now Anime Ltd sent me a parcel, they did not attach the import documents and they do not want to give me the parcel because they contact the sender who does not respond to them (he has been complaining about the item for half a year - it is a joke. The fact that he is complaining about the lack of a bag in the box with vinyl records, but in November they wrote to me that they would send them at the beginning of January, and then they stopped replying). I thought Anime Ltd was the only one who didn't reply to me, but apparently it doesn't reply to everyone.

Emailed them twice asking simple questions on two different topics - never got a response despite being a customer. Simply ridiculous.

Once they had a day of some questions and answers on "X". I put my question there - they directed me to customer service with a text saying that someone would reply to me within 48 hours. I don't know if they lied on purpose - or if it was other people working there, but it's not very funny.

UP like Okaku were both affiliated to Rightstuf, when Rightstuf went, they had no way to import US releases, that was the reason they existed, as importers, the UK releases were only done to increase custom, the owner of UP said it was time for them to go back to what they were created to do, publish unreleased publications

I know this, but the UK market has closed significantly to Europe since Brexit. Zavvi doesn't ship, Base doesn't ship the same, Amazon doesn't have some titles (e.g. Gundam) and doesn't have UP. I stayed with Anime Ltd which is ok as long as I don't have a problem. If I have it, no one will help me here, because CS doesn't exist there. Additionally, they use FedEX, which is terrible, expensive, etc. (I pick up a parcel for 30GBP and pay 20GBP for their terrible service). Thanks, Anime Ltd. I would prefer to pay £30 for shipping and have DHL.
I will probably try to buy at this MVM store. This Anime (un)limited discount is cool, profitable, but I'm tired of fighting for every package.

I received Heroes Rising twice. You as well or am I lucky?
FYI bought the box twice, for a mate and myself, and got heroes rising 4 times even
Also not VAT paid at all. The postal company did not ask for it

No dupes or additional copies in mine, got charged €21 in VAT and fees from Fedex. Don't be surprised if you get a paper bill from them in the near future, last year I got the VAT bill for my Christmas order from them in May.I received Heroes Rising twice. You as well or am I lucky?

Huh, the Venus Wars CE is a little different in terms of content from the Sentai release. ALs booklet is 20 pages shorter than Sentai’s booklet and AL has the CPM trailer while Sentai’s has a Japanese promo. Weird I thought it would of been a direct clone like ALs other Sentai releases.

Maybe I was lucky then. Also regarding the duplicate items.
Everytime so far with fedex I needed to pay the VAT upfront. So it would be weird for them not to do that this time.
I live in the Netherlands btw.

Rent-a-Girlfriend seems to have a lot of controversy surrounding it. I am very curious to try it out for that very reason, haha.
May opt for the standard edition as opposed to the CE.

I'm biased as I enjoy it a lot but I find it a fun, trashy romance / harem (somewhat on the latter). It does have its heartfelt moments at times though. Is is also a very pretty show in the art and animation department.
Just don't take it to seriously but it definitely won't be for everyone.

I should watch Rent-a-Girlfriend and see if I would be interested in getting this - especially if it is more of a romance drama than a RomCom, which I generally don't care for. Anime comedy is extremely hit-or-miss with me. No idea what the controversies with it are, but usually the more controversial something is, the more I am interested in seeing it. I love stuff other people are so offended by, lol.
EDIT: Oh, trashy, huh? Excellent!

Maybe controversial is the wrong word - perhaps it is better described as divisive. People seem to either love it or hate it going by the reviews on MAL and other sites.

Sounds like something good for me and my 81 year old mother to watch together then, eh?!

I did forget to mention the MC can be very annoying with the way he seems to fumble the majority of situations he's in but if you can accept that early on and it won't frustrate you much I think you'll be fine. I think that is partly the reason a lot of people don't enjoy it as he can make it repetitive at times and from what I've heard of the manga, the story is still quite repetitive.
