In Search of Darkness 80’s Horror Documentary. - Page 8 - Blu-ray Forum

Talyn · 02-23-2020, 10:24 PM

Mine is scheduled and looks like it will be here tomorrow. I got the notification about a week ago.

JoelGoodsen · 02-24-2020, 04:12 PM

Just checked again and the shipping information I was sent has still not changed since 7th feb, being shipped from US to the UK.

I checked with Fed Ex and they have nothing in their system. Entered the tracking on USPS and it said 'LABEL CREATED, NOT YET IN SYSTEM'

Feel completely ripped off by these people.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

My tracking # from the 2/18 shipment email has updated at several scans now, and it looks like it should be here by Thursday the 27th if not sooner.

Was your tracking number on the Fed Ex site?

Nope DHL (but delivered by the USPS).

Anyways, I received mine today:

Very nicely packed in a long box with air pockets for protection. The rolled poster is sealed in plastic, the Blu-ray was factory sealed, and the "80's Horror" pin + card came in a small ziplock bag. The poster card was included separate in the box.

The Blu-ray itself is indeed factory pressed (not a BD-R)

JoelGoodsen · 02-24-2020, 05:50 PM

I wouldn't be as concerned if there was some tracking updates but there has been nothing and no response from their customer service either.

P!ss poor really.

Glad you got yours though mate.

When is this thing going to be released to the general public? I didn't have the funds to buy the blu-ray last October, but I would love to watch this thing. The only site that I have found that is streaming it is Vimeo, but they want $2,000 for it.

They haven't really stated yet when/how it will be released beyond the Backer/Collector's editions.

That's a shame, because although I'm late to the party, I'd still like to see and support this, but not for anywhere near the price they want to stream it on Vimeo as of now. Hopefully it'll become available soon

I'll look for this when the regular retail editions hit online stores. I got the 80's Action BD the other day (from the same producers I assume) and really enjoyed it despite it not being a real documentary as someone pointed out. Other than the case being the same type bootleggers use, the BD was a genuine pressed disc with good production values.

Mine arrived today and looked just like this.
I feel very lucky! Happy and satisfied. I hope they fix all the bad ones! Folder poster and bd-r is crazy for the price !!

Have you chased them up or received any kind of shipping confirmation?

Marv Inc. · 02-25-2020, 08:43 PM

Well apart from the original e-mail saying it was on its way via UPS, i've heard no more and i've not chased it up. I'd forgotten all about it actually until i saw this thread bump.

So there are plans to send out factory pressed replacement copies to those who received the cheap BD-Rs from China?

Marv, can you do me a favour please mate and check the tracking from that email about USPS you were sent please?

I fear we are in the same position here and I honestly think that the item has had a shipping label created but not actually posted.

That is the plan according to them, as long as you submitted a ticket or emailed them about replacements. Otherwise, I don't see them doing that on their own according (just like any replacement program though).

Finally got my Elvira version today. Everything seemed in order. I ordered the Action Hero one too but realized later that those are all BDR so I returned it. I do have the digital version of Elvira I should probably offload since I never used it.

Sure!! I got my e-mail on the 31st of Jan and when I click the tracking link it takes me to the fedex site. Which says "In transit to destination country" and was last updated on the 7th of Feb.

If its not here by March then your probably, right they've just created the labels and registered the tracking numbers.
