That's not what Bill has in mind. He has made it perfectly clear what he would do to whomever doesn't buy something when they said they will.....

Every time I see this image pop up I think of that sex scene in Cronenbergs Crash.

I'm a fan of Code Red, Dark force. I do notice that the transfers can look good to pretty bad. Question, what was the consensus on the Breeders transfer? I remember being stoked to get it on blu after watching it on prime. Then when I finally watched it, it looked just like the SD version that was streaming prime. Was that even an HD scan? It says HD scan, but looks like a DVD.

From what I hear it was an upscale.

Okay, gotta ask - which one? I can think of a couple that fit the descriptor.

Looks like a DVD or the version on Prime? Hardly. That version went through major color correction and restoration and our version is definitely the superior version on the market as much feedback confirms. That one has been an excellent seller by the way and the collector's edition slipcover on that is also pretty cool.

ALL INTERNATIONAL & CANADA ORDERS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY(CLUB MEMBERS EXEMPT): Due to the current COVID-19 health crisis USPS has been having significant delays with overseas shipments. More details on usps.com. We have mentioned this situation many times yet we are still getting many inquiries from international customers regarding the delays of their shipments. We have even had a customer file a charge back after only 4 weeks. We have been told by the post office that it is normal for shipments abroad now to take as much as 8 weeks or longer. Due to this current dilemma we will be suspending international orders until this situation with the post office has been returned to normal. Dark Force Management

Makes sense, a lot of businesses around here have done that as well.

So let's see, for us Club Members, what is coming next? Drive-In #10? Blue Monkey (Insect)? Terror Express? I think I know of those three.

I didn't complain, didn't ask, just sat back and had patience--because everyone, including the dimwit who did the charge back, have been told over and over and over about the situation. It amazes me that some people just don't comprehend the covid situation.

Yes, it's amazing how even people on this board don't seem to get it. There are pages and pages of people talking about how slow shipping is, then they come on and ask why their package seems to be taking so long. Prior to the COVID situation, I loved reading these threads for info about movies, but now I am getting very knowledgeable about global postal service.

This forum has more or less always been about anything related to Blu-ray releases, to learn about movies you're best bet is to visit the Movies forum.

Looking forward to a bundle of the new releases once this passes and DF starts international shipping again. I would like to see them revise it and and ship to Canada as I have had next to no issues receiving shipments from USA. Hell, I had a package from Florida arrive in 4 days this week.

Or at least let us order and they can hold the package until they start shipping out to Canada again. Was looking forward to getting Blue Monkey and Primal Rage.

Also all my stuff that I ordered from the US in June have taken around 2 weeks to arrive so it looks like the mail delivery times are back to normal (at least where I am).

What do you propose we do? We are not a giant company like MVD and Kino with plenty of customer support representatives to handle issues. When we start getting not just a "few" but "numerous" customers contacting us about their delayed shipments, we have to take a lot of time out to respond back and then try to track down the shipments. When a customer complains or does a "charge back" through Paypal, we have to take the time also to respond to that. We simply do not have the manpower to handle that on top of running the company. We got tired of having to tell customers even though it is boldly SPELLED OUT on the post office website that due to COVID-19 international shipments are experiencing much longer than normal delay times and there is even a list of locations that the service is interrupted altogether. Although we are still accessing the situation, for the time being we had no choice but to suspend international and Canada shipping ourselves.
