Let me reassure you. From my own experience, TF1 has never rereleased their SteelBooked movies in Amaray cases. Once the movie's gone OOP, it's OOP; that's all there is to it.

So you can safely order from Amazon.fr and you'll receive a Steel. The only problem you could encounter is a Steelie in a bad shape.

I did state "from my experience". I assumed that what I had seen in stores was what was available.

well unfortunately we dont have access to stores and rely on Amazon to properly ship things. Maybe they ran out and I got replacements Either way I didnt get steels and they are being returned. Amazon.fr is by far the worst Amazon company I have dealt with

How did you even order 3:10 To Yuma? If it's been out of stock for a couple of weeks?

through Amazon, is that complicated? I dont understand why you are scrutinizing my ability of all people to properly order something??? Amazon makes mistakes and thats exactly what happened there.

Things come in and outta stock, i just ordered and received Hancock and its been OOS for weeks/months. Amazon works that way and I cant sit here and explain why they do what they do, but its how it works. I am not sitting here making crap up as you are suggesting......

ITS easy, just mail it back and wait on the refund. You have to email them to get a refund for return shipping. They will arrive damaged, guaranteed. Amazon.fr uses them dang fold over boxes instead of a cardboard box and they get smashed. I had to ship 5 of my eight back from the last order, Its horrible, Then if you order too many(usually over 300€) they use Chronospost and they charge a customs fee for delivery

my total is 158.24 Euro for 6 steelie's and i chose express delivery which it might help to get here faster which will reduce damaging possibilities. well maybe..

jw - what method do you use to ship them back? do they require a method that provides tracking. Thanks.

My last order rang at 231.70 EUR for 8 Steelbooks but infortunately it cost me $65 CAD (+/- $53 USD) of customs.
Next time I'll order from amazon.fr I will lower the ammount of Steelbooks a bit.

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers,
Gui.
