Mostly true, especially if you live overseas like me. I ordered my Ultrimate Matrix collection and have it shipped to me via only Global priority; and it arrived in just 5 days!!! It usually would have taken at least a full 10 days if I ordered from, say, CdUniverse.

If u can tell me a better site that offers the prices they do on bd's with no tax I will use them but untill then amazon.com is number 1

I agree with you, and for those that go no tax, well hehe theres tax here on amazon matters where you live...

Of course ive already revealed my thoughts on amazon in the past so I wont reiterate them nor the bad feelings because this is no longer the place for that, for that was the past and now is now.

I told them that under the comments on all the ones I cancelled too. If more people do the same thing......... MAYBE they will get the picture and finally stop CHEATING people who Pre-Order with them.

I'm DONE with Pre-Ordering from Amazon until they get their act together and stop SCAMMING everybody who does. I hope alot of other people do what I'm doing....... it's the only way to make them change.

From now on, I will NOT order a blu-ray until at least the day it comes out and then I will order it from whoever has the lowest. NO MORE will I trust Amazon to apply their supposed "pre-order guaranteed lowest price" because they will NOT do it.

Also, when you call them about it.......... they say "well you pre-ordered over 30 days ago and our policy no longer allows us to adjust the price on an order over 30 days"..........RIDICULOUS!!!

If I ordered it and 2 days ago and it shipped 2 days ago and they lowered the price yesterday, they will adjust it....... BUT if I PRE-Ordered it 45 days ago and it shipped yesterday and I got it today and they lowered the price yesterday just after it shipped, they will not give the lower price because they said you pre-ordered it over 30 days ago. SO I ASK YOU........if that is the case, WHY BOTHER pre-ordering from Amazon?????

It's just not worth it!

i know this is their policy but they've never denied me a pricematch after i email them with threatening comments lol. latest case was a few weeks ago when i ordered a dualshock 3 controller for 44.95 to see it go down to 40.96. emailed them, told them my side, etc and they said "we will make an exception this ONE time" and gave me the difference. they've done this atleast 20 times since the policy change for me saying they'll make this one exception. 100% success rate so far. yes its a pain in the butt to email them everytime you want a pricematch but im happy overall.

I noticed it a week or so ago before wall-E shipped but I got an email from amazon saying that my pre-order price guarantee brought wall-e (3 disc) down from $27.95 when I pre-ordered to $24.95. And I pre-ordered wall-e a REALLY long time ago.

A person that has $1k of pre-orders out there - is not going to worry about 20/40 dollar difference when he is done buying. Obviously your not happy with the prices and have decided to vent your frustrations and discontent here. If your not happy, that's fine. However, your info does not make sense as most have pointed out. Amazon DOES honor the pre-order price and such.

Your loss
