Here's the latest update from the publisher's website on this volume copied and pasted:

The Stand Limited Edition Hardcover Set (PS): we have copied and pasted below our latest update on The Stand shipments and thank everyone for your understanding and patience on this matter:
From Dark Regions Press newsletter: "We are currently working on shipping out The Stand but have some very unfortunate news: 75% of the entire shipment to us was damaged due to inadequate packing from the printer who shipped it to us directly from the United Kingdom. The publisher is aware of this issue and it has affected other retailers as well and they're working with us to get replacement sets. We will be shipping out the 25% of sets that are okay in chronlological order to the customers who preordered the set first then the remainder may take another 60 days to ship due to the process of shipping the damaged sets overseas back to the UK then getting replacement sets shipped back to us here from the UK. We apologize to our customers for this unfortunate circumstance but we did not have any control over the way these sets were packed and shipped to us and the publisher has been very understanding and is working with us to get replacements. If you have any questions or concerns do not hestiate to contact us at darkregions.com/contact and thank you for your patience!"
Revival by Stephen King Deluxe Special Edition (LetterPress Publications): 99% of all applicable preorders for this title have been shipped. If you reserved a bundle with a shipping address outside of the United States your order will ship when all bundle items are in stock.
