Nice! I'm in a similar boat at the moment, waiting for US stuff to arrive in Canada. You wouldn't think it would take so long being on the same continent, but shipping times are insanely slow at the moment even by couriers... and then add customs, I've had a large package of discs that I've been waiting months for, stuck in customs for over 2 weeks now

Do you mind sharing say the first 3 digits of your order #? It would help to get an idea of where things stand.

I'm waiting for orders to be shipped between the range of 720xx-726xx on the 10th, and 772xx on the 12th.

a lot of their other stuff is all more of schlocky type, but i those two are legitimately worth adding to any collection.

"Sudden Fury" is also an excellent, taut, fairly straightforward thriller that I would recommend to non-horror/exploitation fans.

Also, "The Incubus" is worth watching for non-horror/exploitation fans simply because of the premise of John Cassavetes chasing a sex demon.

Not to beat a dead horse, we already know from reports here that TT is not shipping orders in the order they were received, but just to note... I never received that initial order update email from the 13th, despite having ordered on the 10th... I did, however, receive what I believe is the second round update email, as did many others, on the 19th... and that one did not include any mention of the order in which orders are being shipped. It seems to be a deliberate removal from their update email, or else I can't think why they wouldn't have continued to state it as an assurance to customers.

...
As a result of this huge, unexpected response with thousands of orders in the past week, our warehouse has informed us that it will take them a few weeks to fully catch up on shipments. We are now shipping 7 days a week which is allowing us to make headway and we'll continue this pace until all orders are shipped.

I know Dundee went OOS during mid-Nov 2016 sale so it's possible it was sold out for a few days or a couple weeks and some copies were reclaimed from a presumed scalper so put back at the 14.95 sale price -- that would make the most sense why an OOP item would be listed at such a steep discount. I know early on that SAE would often cancel sales for 15-25 copies of a single title in one order especially when it was getting low in stock.

I got Dundee too, when people were reporting getting oop titles... just checked - 2/8/19 $17.48 I remember it was available for at least a week... I think more, because I received mine crushed and could've ordered another...

That late then. I wonder why there aren't more posts about that round -- or at that I can find in this or the deals thread.


I do wonder where those came from over 2 years after it sold out the first time.
That was right after Nick's death so I wonder if could have been his personal stash

I remember Twilight Samurai coming back from the dead a couple times, but relatively small numbers

I checked and I ordered Major Dundee April 21 2013 -- April releases and May preorders which shipped May 16. A pretty nice 2 months worth of items

1 THE SONG OF BERNADETTE (1943) $29.95 $29.95
1 LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945) $29.95 $29.95
1 PHILADELPHIA (1993) $29.95 $29.95
1 MAJOR DUNDEE (1965) $34.95 $34.95

SubTotal: $124.80
Shipping: $8.15
Total: $132.95

why anyone is asking for order numbers is completely dumb.

because if you had a late order where everything was in stock, of course it would ship sooner than an earlier order that is still waiting on a title.

it’s people grasping at straws trying to make a guess based on nothing. it does not provide enough information to come to a clear conclusion.

it’s no more factual than getting an answer with a magic 8 ball.

Same here, order # and in Canada... so only 1,700 orders ahead of mine. I’ve got to stop reading this thread. I’ll check back in with a final result in a couple months once my SAE orders and possibly any of my TT orders arrive.

One more here in the 720 Canadian Club.

Whirlpool (1949) is now sold out at Twilight Time, but still available at SAE.

Same for me, and my order shipped today too with all the movies I ordered.

That is the third title in my order to become unavailable. Haven't heard anything, so hoping I will get everything I ordered.

The nature of a sale is that.
I also agree that in this current situation I cut TT all slack they need, and I was just confirmed one item from my order was out of stock.
But to indirectly say that anyone complaining is a child, come on.
And saying there are more important things in life that not getting a movie? You are typing those posts on a forum dedicated to that very thing, you cannot use that excuse.
Come by my house for some hankies to wipe away those tears. They are free and won't run out.

There are far more important things in life than getting a movie no matter what forum you are on. Hobby aside, it's ridiculous reading some of these complaints about shipping backlog during a close-out sale.

i mean, i ordered 14 titles on the 10th and it’s been awaiting shipment the whole time. and i haven’t received any email yet about cancellation. so what does that tell you? nothing.

people sharing order numbers is worse than not sharing information at all, because it doesn’t mean anything. it’s a random detail that needs more to provide any type of clarification.

The search function is partially functional
It's sensitive to spelling, hyphens, etc
It also WILL NOT work if you use the drop down menus. Type a keyword, main word from the title or the full title and CLICK SEARCH button directly. If you try to click anything in the dropdown it just won't work and you get a blank



It's easiest just to use the full list
