Also at diabolikdvd (they still have over 40 in stock and they are customs friendly if you are outside of the US).

Great stuff - gone for an order there instead!

Thanks

Just watched the DC last night. I've never seen Nightbreed in any form. I've always wanted to, but I wanted to wait until a director's cut came out. I was pretty underwhelmed to be honest.

The good:

-Some really nice cinematography
-Great concept/creative ideas
-Engaging action-packed story
-Interesting monsters/costumes

The bad:

-Terrible acting (except for the main girl)
-Terrible dialogue (so many catchphrases...)
-Sloppy editing

If I grew up watching it my opinion would probably be different. 4/10

I just can't believe, after my initial complaint, they shipped the replacement in the exact same padded envelope. You can also see a tiny tear on the envelope where I'm guessing the corner of the box pierced through a bit.

Same thing happend to me,when i was on chat with them i repeatedly told them i need this shipped in a box even if i have to pay extra for it.lady said she will gurantee it...overnight shipping next day came in a bubble mailer again.i love amazon to death but reps communication to warehouse is just non existent

Still no movement on my Best Buy order of the LE. Ordered on 10/28 so I'm on day 11 of their projected 2-4 weeks. Anyone else in the same boat?

The good news about Best Buy (well, not necessarily good if you're not getting your movie) is that if they can't obtain the item for you, they automatically give you a $5 e-giftcard. Or at least they used to, I haven't had that happen in a while.


I had ordered from both Sears and DeepDiscount before realizing they both use the same fulfillment center. Ended up cancelling both and ordering from a third place . $54.99 shipped. I won't say where until I have it in my hands, but I have received a shipping notice.

You might as well just get used to it

I don't know how many times I have put huge emphasis on the need for sending replacements in boxes instead of the jiffy envelopes. Been promised it would be done and of course it wasn't so I ended up with 2 damaged copies. Contacting them again usually cause them to say that "since we cannot guarantee that this doesn't happen again we cannot send a new replacement and here is your money back", sometimes they want the item(s) back and sometimes not...

Amazon used to have great shipping. Now it sucks. This nonsense is the reason I rarely order single Blu-rays that can get damage from them. The only way to be sure they ship in a box is to order multiple items that wont fit in a padded envelope.

Or pay for gift wrapping. It will come in a box if you pay for the gift wrapping service.

I cancelled it. Turns out they ran out of it; it's currently sold out.

Just got my order canceled from blowitoutahere, so i'm screwed.

For international shipments, that is not entirely true.

I also avoid buying single items, for the reasons many people have stated, so I always try to make it so that I get 2-3 items shipped at the same time. Sometimes I get 2-3 items in a box, but most of the times I get the exact same number of items, with the exact same size, weight and number of discs, in a thin, barely padded envelope (which is wonderful for international shipments, where things get piled up and thrown around; I generally get my cases in pieces).
And lets not forget when I place orders for 3 items, and for some reason Amazon decides to ship one of the items separately from the other two, with disastrous results). There's a reason why I drastically reduced my purchases from the US, and especially from Amazon.com. It was starting to feel like a huge waste of money, none of my items arrived in decent condition.

As for Nightbreed, count me in as another person who got the L.E. shipped internationally in a small thin, barely padded envelope. That was surely a great idea. And for what? How many cents did Amazon save by using this sorry excuse for packaging?
When I received the envelope, it was partially ripped apart. Imagine how wonderful the condition of the item inside was?
I'm not one to get upset regarding a minor dent / imperfection, or some minor damage in the corners. But when I receive a numbered, limited edition of a film from a personal favourite author, with the lovely outer box completely crushed, and pretty much destroyed, I do get upset. Thankfully the actual discs appear to have survived, but I shouldn't have received an item in this condition.

I am usually a calm person, but when I received my package I was so pissed off I went straight to Amazon's website and went berserk on their customer service.

I just ordered the Walking Dead season 4 Limited Edition Tree Walker set from Amazon and they didn't even put it in a shipping box. They just slapped the shipping labels on the box and sent it. Luckily it came Next Day Air so not much shipping time to destroy it and the stickers came off easy. I was still angry, specially after paying for extra shipping, that they couldn't be bothered to package it properly.

That's what happened to me, but opted to deal with the small imperfection rather than not get a replacement at all. They've now given me a 25% refund as a gift voucher to spend on my next purchase.

My thoughts exactly!

Woooow! That's a new low. You should blow that up on social media, and Reddit. Seriously.

Wow. Definitely contact them about that. That's plain stupid.
