It was a coupon code back in May. I don't remember the exact details, but I ordered MIB, MIB II, Blade, and Blade II. The MIB movies showed $14.96 each and the Blade movies $0.00.

But most of the posts consist of constant complaining about shipping charges, late release dates, lack of e-mail support (by people too lazy to pick up a phone), and best of all the conspiracy theories

Well I did post yesterday about them asking me for proof of an order including Blu rays as BOGO items, and warned people to keep their confirmation emails until the receive the items since CH appears too inept to look up orders in their own computer system. Also, I think it's fair to complain when the shipping is so inconsistent. Some people have already recieved copies of Wrath of the Titans and The Artist, while mine still say backordered withou even an estimate as to when they should ship out. That is inconsistent and horrible service.

I think the point he's trying to make is that we all know it's going to be inconsistent on shipping, something most of us have accepted for the price we get. No need to keep rehashing that point.

For the price and the deals, waiting a litle longer is well worth it.

I posted this the other day......by using "Bill Me" and not making crazy changes, cancels, etc to my account, I have been able to stay away from the issues that are being described here. Their regular shipping isn't that much worst than AMZ regular shipping (not the 2 day Prime) and they often have deals that no one else can touch. Add the bonus points (plus multiple triple points offers) to it and the ability to get multiple free box sets for just the cost of shipping (maybe less if you wait for a flat shipping deal) and its a no brainer.

Then add a CH screw up here and there ($15 and $10 codes that they honored) and the membership pros far outweigh the cons.

Wrong...the episodes shown will be "Where No One Has Gone Before" and "Datalore".

They're supposed to show some making of features on the restoration and a preview of Measure of a Man, so that's probably where you saw that episode mentioned.

Do you happen to have $70 worth of movies on preorder even if they're not being released anytime soon? Any idea what might explain what you're seeing on PP.

I forgot that Hunger Games was going to be $40 lol.

Has anyone else seen preordered movies show backordered? Anyone else still have Wrath of the Titans or The Artist backordered still with no date?

All of my preorders currently show up as "Preordered, expected to ship on..." However, I've had preorders before change to backordered on or near release day until CH had available stock on hand.

Jeez, mellow out, boys. Clearly, the unseasonably hot summer temperatures hitting the nation are making some people grumpy. Mankind's lamentable tendency to assign tones of voice to emotionless text strikes again. For what it's worth, I just didn't want the guy to be disappointed when he burned his tickets on something other than what he was hoping for. Sue a guy for tryin'...

[movielib]

Just want to warn that if you add the SpinWin code it will negate the triple bonus points.

[tygloalex]

Thanks for letting us know. I was thinking about doing that. I don't see WHY it would, but whatever, CH is wonky.
