My Amazon order was delayed to March 20th yesterday, but just adjusted and has now shipped with an arrival date of Tomorrow.

There was a reported delay from the supplier to retailers that has been confirmed by a couple retailers and they didn't arrive until the last 24 hours for many of them to even begin shipping them out.
Then based on the fact that all of them are sold out, demand also appears to have outstripped supply.

They scheduled a new PC chair to be delivered last Thursday. It was a furniture delivery so you pick the day and they were supposed to carry it upstairs for me and bring it in. They left it downstairs in front of the door the previous Sunday instead. Didn't even ring my doorbell or contact me first. Dummies.

I think their fulfillment is all over the place. I do get some things shipped quickly of course but only if it happens to be in my local warehouse. Anything further out and the promised delivery date is worthless. Even things that are supposedly in stock sometimes sits for days before shipping. I spoke to a manager last week about the fly attractant not shipping and he told me they are having trouble with their system saying items are in-stock when they're not actually in stock, or not in stock in my local warehouse where it would ship, so the "arrives tomorrow" thing is sometimes inaccurate. It happens to me regularly.

Anyone have movement on your Orbit DVD order? Mine is still sitting at Confirmed.

Physical Media is so dead that shops can't even fulfill pre-orders because of the demand (even for flawed releases).

Shhh! You'll wake up user Bates Motel. Probably too late anyway. Any moment he'll come on here to set you straight

When I called them last October they couldn't even tell me what their upcoming holiday return policy was, which is hilarious because I later found out it was already in effect when I called them, but the managers didn't even know it.

Lol, to throw gas on the fire, I discovered this firsthand this morning. Was looking for the Abyss to no avail. Found the 4K Steelbook version of Creepshow and bought that instead. The funny thing is, when I looked up Creepshow on the Walmart website, it said sold out online and showed no availability in all stores in the area including the one I was in...but there I was holding a copy in my hands when it said the store has none in stock. So it probably is worth checking the stores if you can. You just may get lucky.

I ordered US editions in a french shop. They confirmed me that there will be delays, especially on Aliens.
This is a little shop, so, I don't think they will have the priority for the stock. But, I will be patient. No emergency.

I was going to get The Abyss 4K, but everybody is sold out on release day - Target, Bull Moose, Amazon, Deep Discount, WalMart, etc. Oh well.

But...but...something something preorders are a scam.

Received my copy yesterday and popped it in my machine this morning.. had a few various spots where it would freeze for a moment,, and around the 58 minute mark its giving me some serious blockage / bad encoding .
Wiped the disc which is spotless,and even tried it on a different player with the same result.

It's unbelievable to me that I'm about to get The Shining ABC tv movie from Shout Factory via Amazon before I get the 3 Cameron films in 4K from DMC when I preordered them back in January.

But here we are. Just waiting for the Amazon truck.

Welcome to the new AI restorartions. That's exactly the way James Cameron wanted The Abyss to look

Sorry you got a bad disc. That genuinely sucks

[creon100]

My Amazon pre-order hasn't moved, currently just says "we'll email you when we have an estimated delivery date." Pre-ordered on 2/15. Nothing but one 3rd party seller listing on the actual product page when earlier today it at least showed "temporarily out of stock."

This is obviously a totally botched release from a fulfillment perspective.

I e-mailed them it earlier this week as I assumed, based on previous excellent experiences with them, that my Camerons would be coming by release date at the latest. Their reply was that they paid extra for premium shipping from the distributor so their copies would arrive in pristine condition, and they were expecting them to show up later this week with, order shipping obviously to follow.

Sure did.. even asked the disc and player really nicely to behave, it wasn't having any of it!..

Did you try it in one of your other players?

[bhampton]

Mine just shipped from Amazon for delivery tomorrow.

They think True Lies will be Friday and Aliens Saturday ... but they thought Abyss would be Thursday until a few minutes ago.

[Jutty]

Yup,, around the same time stamp the same thing happens...
Even if i try to FF just before the 58 mark its stalls at 58.36 seconds...
58.44 the movie then plays with no problem.....so far !

I hate this. Many UHDs do this. I always give the disc a good wipe with a soft cloth before i play the disc.
