Some fans have already received this new album. Some of us will wait for him a little later. All countries in the world already had pre-orders (except North Korea?). Not all fans got the album today. It also depends on the time zone.
I say, therefore, it depends and more on things. For example, a shop and already known today as an e-shop (via the Internet) is no problem for a loyal fan to order a CD album. It's the fastest and easiest way to get there.
As soon as the CD album is released, it travels internationally to the countries that ordered it. And then he had to be ready in stock. But why doesn't everyone get the album on that exact date?
It's not that it's not Christmas in the fall :) So it's not easy to deliver an album on time. (But during Christmas, it works. Because there's the Christmas spirit). But the thing is, a lot of fans (me too) have ordered an album. And not every store has a big team. (Maybe the biggest team has santa ...) It depends on the order.
I'll explain ...
If a store (or e-shop) has, for example, a thousand or more orders. So they're dating. The first 5 or 10 albums are sent quickly and easily. But the business can't stop. Even though he has already sent 100 albums, for example. New and new orders from fans are coming. And the store must always order new ones.
So he wakes it up and gets it out of the warehouse. The warehouse is sometimes half empty. It is only a matter of time before it fills up.
And then there's the waiting time for the fans. There are many factors that can lead to orders. For example, a country has a holiday. Then the orders are not processed. The courier does not work either. It can also be a public holiday. So it will cause a delay.
Then here is what I wrote at the beginning (time zone). Each country has a different time zone. So the order comes in a slightly different date.
What does it look like in my country Slovakia (Europe)?
While it is British time (12:00 pm). It is in my country (13:00 in the afternoon), which means there is about one hour more.
If there is no holiday or pandemic (which would prevent delivery), then everything runs nomral. For example, if a person orders an album from a store on the beginning day of the week (Monday) in the afternoon, for example, then it takes two days for the order to reach home. On the third day, one gets it.
Monday, the order database is maintained. And the store will send an email that orders within 24 hours, will work on it. I will announce this for man.
And then the order should be placed for shipment.
Tuesday, he should get a courier to list the order. With name, surname, address and telephone number. So that he can then contact the person in question.
Most of this curier gets it all in the evening. So nothing works.
Wednesday, the courier leaves every morning or afternoon. And it was possible to deliver the order. In my country (Slovakia), if you are not at home and the courier will not find you. Come on the next day again. Or else he leaves the order in the post office.
And the post office will let you know that the order is there. If you have chosen to pay by card over the internet. So you don't have to pay anything. Because you have already paid for orders before.
Or you choose a payment to pay when the order arrives. So then you have to pay for the order at the post office. I pay for the order? You have it included in the price. Because you can choose it over the Internet in the e-shop. So in the post office you pay for everything, exactly as you chose / entered in the e-shop. So he doesn't have to worry about missing something. There is no reason to pay extra in the mail for something above. You only pay for what you entered in the e-shop when ordering.
And what if I ordered it from an international e-shop, do I pay anything?
Yes. Because, it came from another country. Then the order is kept at customs. According to the law. Checking in progress. It also depends on the rules of your country.
So, you have to pay customs tax. Because they store your order. VAT is also payable. But not always. Everything will also depend on which price and customs limit you have exceeded. Everything must be assessed by the customs office. Exactly according to the law and the rules. When they do. Then you will receive an email. You have to write everything what an order is.
What do you need it for. what is in it. How much did you buy and pay for? You have to write very specifically. What was the price. What kind of money is it in. whether you also paid British VAT. And you can't forget the final amount of the order. the order number and where the order is from. When you're done. So you have to send it via email to the financial report (police customs office). They will then measure the money currency into your money currency. So that I don't forget in some countries there is also an international tax. So pay two taxes, one for international and the other for being held by customs in your country.
In my case, it is a pound to the euro. Then, after all, the customs office should release your order. Where will the post office get it from. And it can also take a few days. And sometimes postage VAT is paid. Because it's a mail transport.
I pay because because England is no longer in the EU. If you count it twice. So you better buy it in a store / in your country. Yes, then it saves more money.
And what about northern koeria?
I don't want to advance it like a hedgehog. But as we know, Iron Maiden has never been not can to do a concert there before.Never. But sure, there must be some a fan from the northern koeria. Which went to the southern koerie to see the Iron Maiden.
But I saw a movie documentary. It's a risky escape from the northern koerie. There are military guards. If any onesome gets to the other side. So it's a small relief. But then the fun ends. Because the one who escapes must go through the jungle. If Chinese military see anyone. So they catch him and put him in jail and eventually return him to the road in front of the North Koeria.
It's a sad fate. But they are brave someone from where they run away. Not all things are always allowed in North Korea. But even there, life is already changing.
So I'll close the answer. The Iron Maiden will not be in the North Koeria yet. That's hard to say.
This album may be number one in South America!.
That is understandable. And maybe it will be learned. I'm a little old-blue like Bruce Dickinson. I have never listened to the news before spending in shope. But I've always waited for a new album when it's in store. I went there then. Or I secured an order online. But I didn't listen to anything new on any site. Well, this time (this year) I did it. That will be about last year, when was a pandemic. I couldn't resist and had to hear this 17th album. I think the surprise is gone now. :) Because when I get this album this month, it won't be such a big surprise for me.
I thought: Damn, it's the bastard, internet. :) Well, we live in a modern age and we can hear it even before it comes on sale. It was a different time in my teens. There, you didn't listen to anything in advance, you only knew that the album would be released. And then he waited and waited, and when the album was in the store, me went there all hot and asked the salesman: Do you have a new album from Iron Maiden ?.
And he answered, yes, we have, Now he has arrived. And you could have been happy to jump out then. :) So I miss such moments. But okay, today we are a in modern times.
I think for sure this album will have a great time in South America. Because it's a fiery, wild landscape that lives with rock and metal. So yes, I think it will be the number one album.
