Sorry mods if discussion isnt allowed, please delete if not.

Im looking to get a hold of xmen origins as soon as i can for a movie night and wondered if any online sites were shipping it a little early so it arrives for release day (maybe a couple weeks early

).

I never get releases from Amazon until after they are released, even when I pre-order.

Moefiz · 08-22-2009, 03:21 PM

I know Amazon doesn't.

OneEye · 08-22-2009, 03:27 PM

Hi i got watchmen 2 weeks early from playusa & dvdworldusa.com this site says you can get stuff early or on release day but you pay more hope this helps

DetroitSportsFan · 08-23-2009, 12:33 AM

DVD Pacific used to ship 2-3 weeks early. Not sure about now though.

tbizzle · 08-23-2009, 01:33 AM

I have no luck with pre-orders. I'll always get mine like 3 or 4 days late, or even a few weeks. I don't understand the point of pre-ordering. I've tried from Amazon, WBshop, deepdiscount, tower, etc. My King Kong pre-order from Tower earlier this year took 29 days to get to my house, and after 38 days they hadn't even shipped The Notebook, so I canceled it. Are their any sites that actually get their pre-orders to the customers on time?

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to this question also?

AKORIS · 08-23-2009, 02:23 AM

I think the answer is............ nobody!

magnox · 08-23-2009, 04:37 AM

I ordered from a couple places including dvdworldusa so ill report back.

Freekman · 08-23-2009, 04:39 AM

Amazon always ships mine on time and sometimes I get it the day it releases. Best Buy takes at least a week for me, but I only use the cheap shipping for them, as well as Amazon.

Brad1963 · 08-23-2009, 04:42 AM

dvd pacific stopped. I was buying from them for over a year becuase they would send titles sometimes to 2 weeks early. About a year ago they started shipping on the release date. They must have gotten in trouble. It was pretty well known on the boards.

SOA · 08-23-2009, 04:51 AM

Everytime I ordered form Wal-Mart I get my stuff a week earley.

Sussudio · 08-23-2009, 04:53 AM

For each movie in the last 2 orders (total of 6 preorders) I placed with Wherehouse.com back in April, they all shipped/arrived about 3-4 days before release day

csdot · 08-23-2009, 09:02 PM

i get preorders from tower.com the monday before almost every time

Oh, okay. It has been over a year since I ordered from there. I remember receiving the Spider-Man Trilogy 2 weeks before street date.

DVD Pacific still ships early, BUT I believe only for retailers, like mine in Sydney, Australia. Hence, how I got "State of Play" and "The Soloist" last week.

The downside is I'm paying U.S. retail price converted to Australian Dollars, plus shipping costs. I don't mind though. I stopped having to use credit card three years ago. So now I pay cash.

dirkblack · 08-25-2009, 06:07 PM

dvdworldusa post 2 to 3 weeks early, and with non canadian covers.

dukerock12 · 08-25-2009, 07:57 PM

i wouldn't say that about dvdpacific. over at the avsforum people received gladiator and brave heart two weeks early from dvdpacific

mlim77 · 08-26-2009, 04:17 AM

Perhaps it's first come, first servred?

RyRyMcNizzy13 · 08-26-2009, 04:21 AM
