They won't cancel your order. They just won't ship it until they can...

Bad info Merlin.
As Ari stated, eventually the books will be shipped to their buyers.
It's estimated to be late March, but no official date has been announced.
Buyers will know when they receive an email to verify and pay shipping charges.
NO, excuse me, but in this instance I am NOT wrong, at least from my first hand experience. They may have changed or modified their policy since my dealings, but I got my order in with my US address on S/L day like everyone else and received a confirmation email. Then, without notification my order was summarily cancelled due to the shipping issue. After exchanging several high emotion emails with their customer service I was told that if I had a proxy (which I had already expected and had at the ready) my order would be re-instated with the new UK delivery instructions. A very kind and generous member here rescued me from my plight and my order is now active and awaiting shipment.
Now, throughout the process I didn't get the impression that FP had their collective act together with regard to the situation and perhaps they have waffled on the policy and have employed different solutions randomly to customers, but that was my first hand experience and I would suggest that anyone who ordered with a US address check with their CS directly and make sure you have agreement in writing that they will ship to you in the US or you may end up bitterly disappointed come, April.
I owe a HUGE thanks to the member (It's for him to name himself, not I) here who came to my rescue. BTW, this all took place back in Dec/early Jan. When I ordered I was anticipating having to provide a UK address at some point, but they were accepting the US address initially. I just had to get the finer details of the address (they required a phone no.) before updating my order. As I said, FP seemed a little out of their element in this process and I would strongly advise anyone who ordered with a US address to check in thoroughly with the FP Cust Svc team and be absolutely certain you have it all worked out in advance.

I ordered one S/L and have not received a cancelation email.
Has your proxy received the book, or received any shipping order or confirmation?
You misunderstand. No formal cancellation was issued. They just did it. I only discovered it because I was so anxious about the address I was checking my account regularly and noticed the new status. No additional confirmation email was sent, but I do have the change of status on the website and an email from FP Cust Svc that details the re-instatement of my order. Just because you were not notified that doesn't mean you are good to go. I would get all over this at your earliest convenience and receive some kind of affirmation on your order. However, that's just me.

There hasn’t been any cancellations of Later. They even said that they wouldn’t cancel them when members flat out asked. This has been discussed at length on Rare King.

Do what you want its your individual purchase, but I'm telling you EXACTLY what happened to me with no embellishments. My order status was changed to "Cancelled" with absolutely no notification. I discovered the change after performing a routine check on my order cause I was anxious. Then, after exchanging several email with customer service and eventually being afforded an opportunity to provide a UK address my order status was changed again to "Pending Delivery" or something like that. I received an email from CS denoting the issue and the change and verifying the new address for shipment and now my order is set to be shipped on the 30th and I feel confident that it will arrive at the UK address and be turned around to me in the US by that kind member I mentioned.
I'm not telling you what to do, to each his own. Maybe my situation was a single random occurence, I don't know for sure. I did get the impression from my correspondence with them that I was not alone, but I also got the impression that they, at least at that time, had no strict "go to" policy in place. Draw your own conclusions and take action as you deem necessary. This was just MY personal experience with Forbidden Planet. BTW, the CS reps were very pleasant and actually quite accomodating and responsive to me and resolved the situation fairly swiftly FWIW.

My account shows the item is "Awaiting Dispatch".
Yeah, that's sounds right. maybe things have changed, I don't know for sure. hey, listen I have nothing to be gained from my posts one way or the other. I was just relating what transpired in my situation and how it was resolved so that it might be a little help to my fellow members. Maybe you're "SpeciaL" and everything will go swimmingly. In the end I was only suggesting that you might want to check on your order and be sure is all.
Honestly, at this point given the post responses I won't bother to relate any info such as this in the future either way. Every man for himself.

I've just checked mine and it looks active as the first day.

No, its more the "I'll just mind my own fucking business in the future" approach and best of luck to everyone else. FWIW I'm glad everyone seems to have their orders in good standing with no issues. I was only trying to help in advance. personally, I was fucking flabbergasted when I checked my order status back in December and saw "Cancelled". It was only luck that I checked it in advance and I would have been plenty pissed if my book didn't arrive in early April. So, I just wanted to make sure no one would find themselves in that situation. Instead, no "Thanks for the heads up" and the posts seemed to indicate I was out of line. So, good luck to everyone.
Since no one seems to believe my ordeal, here's a few of the emails exchanged.............................

As you can see their info was all confused and incorrect. These emails were generated as a result of my inquiry, not as a response to any notice I received from them. At one point they advised me the item had been shipped and lost in the mail!!! I then informed them that the item was not sdet to ship until, March. Anyway, it got resolved on my part.28 in 23 (?)!!!!

Bill, you made the initial mistake of ordering from the FP UK site. That site quickly canceled orders from The USA. Orders from the proper USA site are all in good standing, and as mentioned, will eventually be shipped (presuming the buyer receives and approves the shipping info and costs) Apparently you were able to bully/bluff/bluster someone into allowing you to purchase and ship the book to a UK proxy. Presuming all goes well, then good for you. Also assuming ALL of the verified USA orders are honored, then good for everyone else.
FYI, I took the liberty of masking the UK persons name and street address from one of your emails.
I just emailed Another Universe and they told me that my signed edition will ship March 9.

My Forbidden Planet order (with shipping to Canada) is still set to awaiting dispatch. Hopefully they just hold shipping until it's available to them. If not, I'm content to send it to proxy and have it relayed - but thankfully they haven't canceled anything on me.
if anyone somehow got two S/N Laters and would like to swap one for a S/N Joyland, please send me a pm.

Jesus, I didn't do anything wrong. You've heard of the World Wide Web and the resultant "Global Economy", yes? They accepted, confirmed and were delivering to the US until, like a month later. Then the Covid issues arose and they cancelled US orders, but didn't bother to send out notices. Additionally, no one I contacted there had any idea regarding the sale. I didn't bully anyone or cajole them in any way. I just pointed out the issue and provided a UK address for them to deliver to. Simple. You know how it is on "S/L day", everyone rushing to get in orders and throwing links around to one another. I was just happy to find a company that was still taking orders. So, I ordered from a proper website, thank you.
I just figured that what transpired with me was worth mentioning to others since FP never sent out cancel notices. However, don't worry, I'll never do so again in the future.

Same here - just waiting it out. I've ordered from FP for years - last books shipped were in like Oct/Nov 2020. They are not the best in responding to emails - can be long delays (especially now) - but you can check your account and my order is still listed as OPEN. So I will patiently wait until I see/hear something directly from them regarding the shipping issue.
