FUTURE RELEASE : 'I Killed My Mother'
I Killed My Mother (2013) directed by Xavier Dolan
More details coming soon.
Update: Om Shanti Om
Over the past couple of months, we faced some real challenges with Om Shanti Om from the design to the selection of writers for the booklet.
When we first announced the release, we thought it would be best to make the pre-order available as soon as possible. But that’s now changed.
At Plain Archive, not a single upcoming release gets left behind. We work on multiple projects simultaneously. Delays are mostly caused by not reaching the standard of quality which we set ourselves.
We’re almost done with Om Shanti Om. It should follow soon after the release of Two Days, One Night and Frank.
Out sincere thanks for the long wait. Information on the pre-order are coming soon.
Thank you
Best regards

Meet Plain Archive, the digital-age craftsmen making beautiful Blu-ray releases
We try our best not to slate those who have stayed faithful to the DVD/Blu-ray release in the UK, but when we’re pitting them against the team at Plain Archive...
Take a picture of one of our releases with your city or town!
To our customers worldwide,
It’s truly incredible and humbling to know that we have so much love and support from all over the world.
Which is why we’ve prepared a special event.
Take a picture of one of our releases with your city or town visible in the background. It could be the Hollywood Sign, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Big Ben, etc. But the picture doesn’t have to have a famous tourist attraction in the background. It could just show the neighborhood you live in.
You can tweet the picture to us @plain_archive, or upload it to your Instagram account by tagging us @plainarchive or post it on our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/PlainArchive. (*Deadline : 25th August)
Please don’t forget to mention your location. (eg. Edinburgh, Scotland)
There will be 10 winners, and each person will receive a special gift.
Good luck and have fun!
Best regards

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
We’ve decided to push the release date from end of August to better prepare ourselves. The total print run has increased from our initial plan of producing 1,000 to 1,500 copies.
Working on Two Days, One Night and Frank simultaneously is a challenge, but there will be an update soon on TTSS.
Below is an early concept sketch for the exclusive artwork.

Our New Plan
Dear international customers,
"IDA Pre-order / Our New Plan"
IDA Blu-ray pre-order seems to be going well. Thank you for participating at such an early hour. Ida definitely lacks behind in terms of demand since it’s not a mainstream film that features well-known actors. However, it is a film that we strongly recommend. Not only is it a great film, but we’re proud to say that a lot of effort went into the product.
There seems to be a lot of people stressed over the whole pre-order experience since the level of competition to secure a copy is higher than ever. Which is why we’ve decided to increase the number of copies overall. This is to avoid our product getting completely sold out in a matter of a few hours.
Ida may not be a film that has a huge following compared to others, but our new plan starts today. The plan is to produce enough copies from now on so you don’t need to rush during checkout, aka destroying the F5 button to secure a copy or two for one of our future releases.
We believe that this strategy will serve our existing and potential customers well in the long run. Any new customers shouldn’t have to feel disappointed upon finding out that our earlier products are completely sold out.
Thank you.
**Please note that our new plan doesn’t apply if the release is a joint project that involves other companies.
Best regards

Combining orders is now possible
Combining orders is now possible thanks to the recent addition of a dedicated feature in our E-store solution Shopify.
1) After your request, we cancel the existing orders, then provide a full refund to you, followed by a new invoice for the combined order sent to your email inbox.
2) If the existing orders include a copy that features a numbered sticker under 100, we cannot guarantee the number will be the same, or stay under 100, or be any specific number.
3) You can request it only before we hand over the package to the Post Office.
If you fully understand our new procedure stated above, and wish to continue, please let us know with a email(cs@plainarchive.com).
Best regards

[Important] Dear International customers,
We ship our products to the exact address you provide us with. The address is submitted by you, and we never change them.
The shipping address may be correct, but if no one is available to receive the package, it may return to us. Some customers may move to a different place, or take a long vacation away from home. The address may also include an error. All of these circumstances are some of the biggest reasons why your item returns to our office in Korea.
We do not take any responsibility for the examples stated above.
If you’d like to receive the package, we’d have to send it again to your address, so please note that extra shipping fee will be charged.
Finally, when items are returned to us under any situation that we cannot control, please refrain from filing a claim on Paypal. It’s a payment system which acts more generously toward the purchaser than the seller. We understand your frustration, but this could lead to our account getting blocked. At a much earlier stage of our business, this occurred twice, which had an enormously crushing impact on our international shipping operation.
It’s pretty obvious, but we’re not Amazon or Zavvi. We try our best to compete with big players when it comes to customer service, but from Paypal’s standpoint, Plain Archive is a tiny thing. Please understand that the future of our international business is in the hands of Paypal.
Our customer service channel is always open. We hope that you can sympathize with the difficulties we often face, and talk to us at cs@plainarchive.com
Thank you.
Best regards
