Yes, but you'll be able to get them at Diabolik DVD and Screen Archives as well.

Big disappointment that RoninFlix will no longer carry Code Red titles. It’s not the easiest to get Code Red titles here in Canada, and they were definitely the best. Don’t see myself ordering as many Code Red titles now.

Just another reason why I find it advantageous to rent a US mailbox down in Buffalo.

S**t, his tracking doesn't work here in the States. So I don't see his b*tching about our friends to the north.

From experience I can say there is a higher rate of packages going lost when you ship from the USA to another country, rather than just within USA. I'm not sure why this is specifically. Also, if there is a problem with how the product arrives, its more problematic to do an international return than domestic.

So if you don't mind limiting your sales, you likely will run into less headaches shipping USA only.

Just received a copy of "Savage Streets" from Bill. That was the last of the old Code Red's that I needed. Was looking forward to buying all future
releases from Ronin. Not happy about this.

Beyond The Carrier, is Dark Force going to be handling all future titles though? It'd be helpful for us to have more clarity on this. Thanks in advance!

Why can't Ronin AND Dark Force both be allowed to carry your product? If Dark Force only took 200 units of THE CARRIER...and most of your customer base prefers Ronin...why not let both outfits carry it...make everyone happy.

Yeah, nothing against Dark Force, but I'd feel better knowing that established outfits like Diabolik and SAE will be handling these titles as well. At least until Dark Force has been around for a little while longer and has more of a proven track record. Ronin really had shown themselves to be highly successful and skilled...glad they'll still be carrying Scorpion product, at least.

You also charged my buddy 32 for his copy when he emailed you a couple of weeks ago. That's more then what you were selling it for on the cartel plus shipping.

200 copy paid via CASH in advance and paid fedex shipping to get it.

So can you confirm whether or not Ronin will or will not get NEW Code Red releases moving forward?

Your question implies that there's a plan. Funny.

Of course, there'll always be a higher incidence of issues when a parcel needs to pass through a border and go through customs.

However, the the point I was trying to make is that Canada, unlike any other country, has full tracking for all USPS international parcels, even regular old first-class. They're trackable right up to delivery both on usps.com and canadapost.ca. That fact makes the likelihood of a parcel getting lost significantly less.

Either way it doesn't make much difference to me because, as I said earlier, Buffalo is less than an hour's drive from me and I rent a mailbox there on a permanent basis. When shipping to Canada is unreasonable (or not offered) and/or the item very large, I just have it shipped down there instead.

What I love about RoninFlix is that their Canadian shipping rates are so reasonable, and I tend to get their parcels in no more than 5 business days. I have one on the way from Ronin now that was sent out Thursday Morning, and judging by the current tracking info I imagine I'll get it by Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Dark Force has 200 units. But what about the other units...can't you still sell some through Ronin?

200 through Diabolik and 200 through Screen Archives and it won't sell 300 sad to say.

judging by all 12 new stuff i release in dec 2017, nothing sell.

CUT & RUN sales was offensive

[Christophah Maghen]

Who knows why the Ronin relationship is coming to an end, maybe they asked for a bigger cut? Darkforce offered a better deal, who really knows.

You have a point...just seems strange that Scorpion would find it profitable to continue with them but not so for Code Red? I would assume their profit margins to be similar.
