I just cancelled my order for both pirate movies at Amazon - Blu-ray Forum

Iceman_II · 05-15-2007, 01:47 PM

I have had both of the pirate moves on pre-order at Amazon for a few months now. I just went in to check my pre-order statuses, and there was a note that said that I should expect them to ship between June 1 and June 6...

What the hell is up with THAT?

Seeing as Amazon really doesn't give a damn about getting the movies shipped to me at anytime close to the release date, I really don't give a damn about letting them have my business.

Hmm, mine are still coming on the 24th w/ no stated issues. I'll keep checking though. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mine are coming about a week later also, but I think it is because I used the free shipping method which doesn't ship as fast. I already have the DVD's so I will be patient since they are still a good deal on Amazon.

Fair point, I didn't think about that... I'm an Amazon Prime member and get the 2-day shipping "free" (yes, I know I have already paid dearly in the membership price). I guess they are taking care of us.

Yea, mine are still slated for the 24th. I got a free 1-month trial offer for Prime when I went to order these movies, Apoc, FOOF, and LFIJ, so I cancelled the order and re-ordered w/ the free 2-day shipping. That "Super-Saver shipping" will usually put you near the back of the line.

Yep. Use the Amazon Prime trial if you want them quick. Prime has been great this year. I get all of my titles on release date. When I come home from work, there is always a nice little package waiting for me.

Amazon might just be oversold, by the way, I already got mine yesterday, have not watched them yet because I also got the Matrix set yesterday, so I started watching them first.

Iceman_II · 05-15-2007, 03:03 PM

cheap shipping should not matter. They are allowed to ship BEFORE the release date, as long as it isn't to arrive before the release date (how do you suppose the "amazon prime" shipments can arrive ON the release date). Amazon simply chooses not to do this, leveraging you into paying more for either the prime membership, or for higher shipping on each shipment.

They could ship early, yet choose to ship the supersaver shipping on release date (or later), as a penalty for not paying them more money.

To hell with them, and their store... I'm taking my business elsewhere.

The movie is a popular one I suppose.

Sold out on release date... Seems nice! Reminds me of the PS3.

you have to realize though just how many preorders they will be putting together. Everyone won't get their movies when they want them. I'm still waiting for Apocalypto, and their estimated arrival date for this is JUNE 5!!!!
