What the hell is going on with amazon.ca Blu-rays ??

[Blu-Ray Maniac]

As of lately, all of the films (or almost) are like ''1 to 3 weeks... 2 To 4 weeks''... damn is the cybersunday and boxing day blew the roof or what, they don't seem to have enough for people anymore... and i don't want to wait 1 month or more for a Blu that is available easily at FutureShop or BestBuy... ok not the same price but damn, why so long ??

[Rhylliam]

It basically means they don't have stock, but they can still order it in I believe. A lot of places are low on stock Jan-Feb when it comes to storefronts, so maybe this is kinda the same deal. I doubt it would take 4 weeks for you to receive these items..

They are around 14 feb to 17... and i ordered films like The Island, Striking Distance, Wolf... not low-budget limited to 1000 copies film !!

I ordered three Blu-rays on December 29 and there's no movement yet.

Trouble is, they are all in one order and everytime one comes into stock, another one goes out of stock. I hope I live long enough for all three to be in stock at the same time I can get my order.

No long waiting times here,unless it is an import,then it takes about a week.If coming from Canada,then a day or two.I ignore the 1 to whenever delivery dates.It's really just a seasonal thing.Do not despair,shipping times will get better.

+1

The last few orders I placed through amazon.ca ship usually that day (or next day, if I order late into the day) and I receive it within 2 days of shipping.

It's not so much the shipping times as the fact that the discs aren't in stock.

And the import theory doesn't hold water...of the three discs in my order, only one is an import and it's the only one in stock !

Of those discs, the only one in stock is THE TOWERING INFERNO, which is the import disc.

Both THE DEEP and ABOUT A BOY are domestic Canadian releases (with bilingual covers) sold by amazon.ca. Both of them are show as "Usually ships within 2 to 3 weeks."

Not sure I understand you,if they're not in stock then it would be difficult to ship them.Not trying to be funny but when I order and something is not in stock then they send what is in stock and wait for the others.Sometimes I wait months for a BD to come into stock and get shipped.Are you upset because you have to wait for a domestic delivery or are you upset because something is not in stock?

[Rhylliam]

FYI, the Sony disc for The Deep is OOP. Still available on websites etc, but I'm not sure if they can order it in. The Image disc (which is missing extras) is the more readily available disc online now I think..

So you didn't actually bother to read the original post in this thread?

Please go back and read the first post.

The OP is not complaining about shipping times. YOU are the one who changed the subject to a discussion of shipping times.

The original post (for those who bothered to read it) says:

"As of lately, all of the films (or almost) are like ''1 to 3 weeks... 2 To 4 weeks''... damn is the cybersunday and boxing day blew the roof or what, they don't seem to have enough for people anymore "

Note there is no complaint about shipping time. The original post in this thread is that amazon no longer has many discs in stock for people who order them. That's why I said in my post that this is not about shipping times.

It's about amazon's lack of stock.

Please read the orignal post before replying. This is not a thread about shipping time. It's a thread about low stock at amazon.

Very recently (until around the new year at least), the Sony disc was stocked in large quantity at Best Buy. There was a stack of them in Winnipeg and a friend of mine bought one in Ontario. I was on the fence but amazon's price pushed me into a purchase.

At the time I ordered it, the darn disc could have been bought locally for a couple of buck more! Remember, this order is from December 29 (3 weeks ago). So it hasn't been unavailable for any length of time.

I have no idea what the stock situation is at the moment. Amazon was still selling the disc for $6.99 until about two days ago!

The annoying thing is that, one two occassions, both TOWERING INFERNO and ABOUT A BOY have been in stock at the same time...but not THE DEEP. Now, ABOUT A BOY is back to "Usually ships in 2 to 3 weeks".

With my luck, they will get stock of THE DEEP when something else in the order goes out of stock and nothing will move.

[Rhylliam]

Amazon doesn't typically wait for stuff to all be in stock at the same time either. It has been in my experience that they will ship it out as they have them. "Fewest shipments as possible" is I think how they phrase it, but it doesn't mean they're always going to wait for it all to be in stock at the same time...

Anyone happen to know what kinda custom fees, if any, I may be hit with when importing the Dexter complete set to the US... comes to $166 US dollars,$177 CA.

I don't think you will have to worry about custom fees as its under $200.

[Dex Robinson]

I'll just update my earlier comments and say that, THE TOWERING INFERNO and ABOUT A BOY did eventually ship.


Yesterday I got email from amazon saying that they finally have an estimated arrival time for THE DEEP. They should have it next week...so we'll see.

[Dex Robinson]

Further update..

Just received THE DEEP so my order is now complete.

I'm pleased to report that it's the original SONY release!

[Flash3000]

Looney Tunes Ultimate Collectors Edition....ordered 6 days ago at Amazon CA and on my doorstep in Australia this morning at 9am. Cost me $25 + $8 delivery. Can't get better than that LOL. Especially since it has gone back up to $85 today. Amazon UK also only takes 1 week to Australia. Yet Amazon USA takes 1 month which to me is weird coz when I clicked on tracking on my order from Canada it was sent to Ohio USA for sorting and got here in under 1 week but Amazon USA can't do that. Go figure!!!! I love Amazon CA & UK
