Does anyone no why the goblet of fire update binders are delayed from Artbox, I have had two binders on pre-order from Cards Inc since april, and week by week they keep delaying them so far they are saying that they are due the 4th August, but no dobt they will be a furthur delay after that date...I am just really annoyed cos I have got 2 people waiting for me to send them out to them.

It must just be in the U.K.? I know at comic con they had the binders for sale and they also gave out the black and white variant in the mystery boxes...

I am in the UK and have my binder, but then again I didn't use the dealer you mention.  I think you may need to consider that the problem may be with this dealer rather than a delay with Artbox.

I have emailed my dealer on numberous occasions and they are stating that they are still waiting for them to come in from Artbox, which dealer did you use? then I might consider using them rather than Cards Inc.

I now go direct to America or find a dealer in this country that isn't using Cards Inc.  Yes, you may well pay more in postage but at least you will have the product  .  Have you emailed Artbox to ask them whether the delay is at their end?

Ah right thanks I might try that in future, actauly I never thought about emailing Artbox about it, I shall give that ago tomorrow, I just hope that Cards Inc stick with the release date of the 4th August.

I have sent an email to Cards Inc yesterday and got a reply back saying:
The delay is down to Artbox, our buyer has been trying to contact Artbox
but has had no joy.  We may not even be able to get our order, if this
happens we will inform all of our customers via a letter.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

So has you could imagine I am very annoyed about this  and perhaps let my buyers down whoa re waiting for them to arrive.

This is just a suggestion but if I was in your position I would forward the Cards Inc email to Artbox to see what they have to say.

Unfortunately the longer you leave it to get a binder the harder you will find it.  This is not because there are not loads still circulating just that they seem to be difficult to get in the UK.  I know with GOF I only got one binder, when I meant to get two.  When I tried to get my second binder I had a heck of job but luckily a kind Shacker let me have a spare one.
