July 7th, 2016 - 11:00amIts as if the BBC want to kill Doctor Who again.
I bought most (80%) of my Doctor Who goods from the BBC store. T shirts – Games – Toys etc. What the hell are they doing

June 5th, 2016 - 5:10pmThey are not realising that they cut of a lot of their market in classic who dvd’s. I mean where the hell am I going to get Classic Who dvds now. New onces go for much more of Ebay now and there is not a place in Holland where you can get them
booboo
June 5th, 2016 - 6:55pmthere will come a time for all DVD’s where the demand is not enough to warrant another run
Many of these DVD’s have been around for years and had to be sold really cheaply as demand waned.

April 4th, 2016 - 1:11pmOrdered a couple of t-shirts last week on the last day. One arrived Saturday, and then got a cancellation email today, telling me that my order total had been refunded. Result being a free t-shirt. Nice!
Exterminator
April 4th, 2016 - 4:42pmI ordered 13 t-shirts and they arrived but the Missy one they send a ladies instead of men’s and the dr who experience one is all sticky on the inside where the transfer has been incorrectly applied.
I shouldn’t moan as they were all £1.99 it’s just annoying because I really liked the experience one. 🙁
Exterminator
April 4th, 2016 - 4:49pmI just phoned the customer services and they refunded me £3.98. 🙂
Anyone want a Missy ladies t-shirt size large?

April 3rd, 2016 - 10:13pmI still its a big mistake that they closed the store. Not everyone wants to go digital

April 3rd, 2016 - 10:25pmI agree, especially to get rid of all merchandise as well
Tracy
April 3rd, 2016 - 11:39pmI agree too. It was a very interesting shop with some good bargains. I am missing it already. Not everyone wants to go digital, I certainly don’t.
booboo
April 4th, 2016 - 8:47ami think a lot of people are misreading what is actually happening
BBC Worldwide will still be selling hard copies of series only via Amazon etc
Some of the old classic titles have been available for so long now that there is not enough demand to warrant any more runs.
this doesn’t effect merchandise in general and there is noting stopping anyone else taking on exclusives and more obscure item like the exams decs.

April 6th, 2016 - 10:32amYou get better quality video on DVD/Blu Ray than digital with no compression and you get loads of special features with a nice case to look at to show that you own it.

April 2nd, 2016 - 10:22pmMy last order from the BBC Shop arrived today containing a Sherlock Complete Series 3 Special Edition DVD for £1.99 and a Doctor Who Interactive Cyberman Attack Figure for £6.99. The Sherlock DVD came in a shiny cardboard sleeve which is nice. And the Cyberman Attack Figure is fantastic! I was interested in it before but so happy I waited for this sale as it’s such a fun toy!

April 2nd, 2016 - 10:24pmGoodbye BBC Shop! Thanks for all the great deliveries!

April 3rd, 2016 - 4:34pmMy Sherlock DVD also arrived on the 2nd. Can’t believe it was only £1.99!! Bargain!! I still hold out hope for a one-off BBC Shop reboot where they sell all their leftover stock… One can only hope! 😀
toptimelord
April 3rd, 2016 - 9:33pmThere where so many bargains that I’m just trying to compile a total list of what I ordered. It’s getting very long! :b A one day BBC Shop sale to shift all that leftover stock would be brilliant!

April 3rd, 2016 - 10:30pmThey completely cancelled mine and haven’t refunded me yet for it and many others >:(

March 30th, 2016 - 4:56pmDoes anybody know any number I can phone to contact somebody at the BBC Shop now with the website closed? Basically, my bulk order arrived today, however, one poster was not featured, I assume because it will be in a seperate tube to the rest of my orders for packaging reasons. Is there anyway I can contact anyone to try and get it to me? Not sure if it left the warehouse or if it’s just ParcelForce not handing it to me when they gave me my main order? I tried contacting their enquiries line but I’m just sent through hundreds of automated speakers. Any ideas anyone?
booboo
March 30th, 2016 - 5:04pmi think people are saying they had the posters separately but contact info is here

March 30th, 2016 - 3:31pmGot my disptach email today for Series 9 Blu ray! Not bad for £20! 😀
NickD
March 31st, 2016 - 4:52amSo sad about this. It does seem a bit short-sighted of the BBC to do this. As they are meant to make as much money from their products as possible.
I cannot help but wonder if this is to do with budget cuts and government interference.
Either way though it’s a sad day for BBC lovers and Doctor Who and Sherlock lovers

Totally agree with you! This is from the company that destroyed it’s master tapes of loads of TV classics but decided Digital was the way forward then closed their shop.

April 2nd, 2016 - 3:16pmAnytime I checked series 9 was full price. What date did you order?

March 30th, 2016 - 11:45amI am quite annoyed with the BBC Shop as i ordered; 2 dvds + the deep breath poster A1. Half an hour ago a parcel arrived from the BBC. And i was extremely happy , so i opened it and inside was both of the dvdd, with a receipt, saying that i had bought the dvds and the poster. Althought the poster was not included in the package! I do not know if they are sending it separately or not although in the email , they said your order has been dispatched! Along with the three images in one column! Has this happened to anyone else? I will probably wait a few days and then send an email to them!
Sam Richard Bentley
March 30th, 2016 - 11:56amThe poster, being A1 size, will definitely come in a different box. For example – I once ordered three Funko POPs and the Seventh Doctor Umbrella – they were dispatched at the same time, but the three POPs came in one box, and the umbrella came in a large cylindrical box – which I assume your poster will turn up in, seeing as it is most likely rolled up.
Give it a while, if the other one doesn’t turn up… you’ll have to find a way of contacting them!
Groot
March 30th, 2016 - 1:02pmThanks!
Colyn ball
March 30th, 2016 - 2:48pmBoth my DVD and poster I ordered came in separate packaging the poster comes in a massive print tube.

March 31st, 2016 - 11:54amDoes the first package say one of two? Usually posters arrive separately in tubes

March 30th, 2016 - 12:12amRight: Question time? We now have a standard closure page left for the BBC Shop. What do we now do if we are waiting for Orders, Refunds or whatever? We can’t access previous accounts or anything, so who do we contact to sort anything out?
Moodbeam
March 30th, 2016 - 12:22amDespite my last order being dispatched today I was thinking exactly the same thing. They haven’t even left a contact number.
booboo
March 30th, 2016 - 12:27amgood question thought you would still be able to see your account
this maybe just a shut down holding page until tomorrow or something

March 30th, 2016 - 12:06amManaged to get series 9 blu ray for £20

Thanks BBC shop !!!

April 2nd, 2016 - 3:37pmDid you just get it in parts
The Abominable Snowman
March 30th, 2016 - 12:06amHad an eye on a few stuff waiting to be reduced but nothing. Looks like BBC are really strapped for cash by not doing a last minute fire sale.
Moodbeam
March 30th, 2016 - 12:08amI think it’s just likely that they can get more for the stock elsewhere. They can’t make everything 99p (unfortunately for us!)
booboo
March 30th, 2016 - 12:09amand some of it could have been on sale or return
