Their response: “We apologize for the recent disruption in the normal pre-order experience for Shout! Factory products at other retailers. Please allow for a couple of weeks as we sort this out on our end and return back to (or close to) the process as it was before. Thank you for understanding and, again, we apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.”

...they seem to acknowledge the issue. I hope that they are sincere in ultimately correcting it.

Diabolik dvd, formerly a big supplier of scream factory titles stated after this comment that as far as they are aware there are no current plans to revert back to how things used to be and that Scream are actually in the midst of formalizing & finalizing plans for the new structure...

I knew they didn't charge until the item shipped, which is why I was confused as to to why my debit card was declined by them the last time I tried to pre-order a few titles without having enough in my account to cover every title. I'm assuming they need you to have the full amount at the time in order to complete the order, yet they won't take the money until each item is ready to ship. But I was used to amazon taking the order regardless and notifying you when the time comes that your payment is declined and then eventually cancelling if you don't fix it.

Its definitely best to use PayPal when pre-ordering from SF. Unlike Amazon, once they get ready to ship it out and charge you, you need to have the full amount. If not, they will cancel your pre-order on the spot, without giving you a second chance to fix the payment. It sucks even more when the item includes a poster or LE that's sold out. Trust me it's happened to me before lol.

Well, it's not going to make me order from their site... Nor will I pay 35 bucks on Amazon. So, this leaves me waiting until the releases go on sale or picking them up a month or more after their released and prices come down. What goal they seem to be trying to achieve will not work with me.

Thinking about it more... This new way of doing this is probably going to benefit me because there is no freakin; way I can afford to buy everything that is coming out right away in October. Oct is so jammed packed with stuff and Scream is going to help me from spending too much in Oct this year. They're going to make it easier for me to put off a lot of things until a later date.

Kino and Vestron already got my October budget.

Kino has a nice October slate.

Move along snowflake, quit trying to get attention. I don’t even own the movie you’re talking about.

Scream Factory has really disappointed me with their new pre-order policy. I would have already pre-ordered Candyman but I'm not doing it at $35 plus $5.99 shipping. I'll just wait it out or, if worse comes to worse, buy it used on the resale market.

[nathanashby]

Also, this is how Scream has Candyman listed on their site. WHAT A GREAT DISCOUNT!

I completely agree with not being a fan of the new structure and I will definitely stay away from purchasing until I see dramatic price decreases on all releases. I mean, these are films I have already seen 100's of times each so I can wait a few more months for the price to drop.

Or in the case of Candyman... Scream Factory made my decision for me. I'll be pre-ordering the Arrow edition.

I will be getting both .

If I have to spend the money, I will. But if I can save $10-$15 just by waiting a few months on each film, I will gladly do that. I mean, that saves me over $100 easily each year alone.

[SeanJoyce]

The pre-order policy doesn't really concern me because I only buy stuff when it's on sale, but with their hyperbolic re-release quota Scream has devolved into a joke of a company.

[L.J.]

Don't like this new structure it won't affect me much. Get most of my releases from BB anyway. Just will have to wait a few more days now.

[xxnomad]

I just don't get why the need to change things like this. Their titles always seem to be extremely popular and they release a lot of stuff. They don't strike me as some fringe label on the outside clawing to survive.
