[tezster]

I grabbed the Star Trek 4K titles... can't really lose at $12.

[agoofykindasuperman]

I did the same. Threw in Passengers 4K + 3D for free shipping.
But now that I look at it, I only own Beyond in 2D Steelbook form.. so maybe should have grabbed the 3D for $12 as well? Ah well... will wait for that one's 4K to be down instead.

[HypnoToad]

Damn, must have just missed the Star Trek deal! Looks like the 4K versions are unavailable now.

My order just shot up to $17.80 (for 2 movies) since I only have 2 movies instead of 3 in the cart to trigger the double discount and waiting for Trading Places to ship. I already received one of the 3 movies so maybe I should just cancel Trading places to cancel my entire order?

Amazon has been extremely slow to ship items lately. I have 3 orders that are just standing there waiting. I chatted with them the other day and they say it's because I used free shipping! There's like $300 worth of movies in those orders. Any one else having their stuff just wait in limbo ?

Details please. Are you talking about new releases? How long have they been waiting "in limbo", are we talking days, weeks? Does the website say the item is in stock or that they're waiting on more copies? Do you have a Prime membership?

A couple of examples:

Order #1 (ordered April 20)
Boyz and the Hood
Over the Top
New Jack City
The Entity (they had 4 copies at the time of order and a few days after, now it says item in-stock April 29)

Order #2 (ordered April 19) Al in-stock as we speak and always have been.
Passengers UHD
Panic in Year Zero
Krull
The Breakfast Club
Captain Phillips
Weird Science
Blob
Barbarella
The Party

Order #3 (Ordered Feb 9)
Donnie Darko
This one is understandable because it's not in-stock yet

Order #4 (ordered Jan 31)
Woman of the Year
Says usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks but was in stock the first day or two and I pretty much ordered day 1.

EDIT: Forgot an order...

Order #5 (ordered April 6) This one just went on Preparing to Ship
The Crucible
Broken Arrow

When I ordered the two Star Trek 4K titles, along with Kelly + Victor and Passengers 4K, only one of the Trek movies were out of stock, and it originally said my entire order was being held until May 8th... but they ended up shipping Passengers and Kelly + Victor to me on Friday and I received them yesterday.

So maybe yours will move sooner rather than later too.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

I ordered Donnie Darko on Feb 8 and it says "arriving Arriving 10 May - 18 May".

They usually just throw a bunch of movies from different orders together and ship them, but not this time it looks like.

Just checked and my Donnie Darko says:

Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

Interesting. No, I haven't had that problem with any in-stock items. I usually order in-stock items with stuff I'm pre-ordering to get the free shipping and, of course, they will usually ship those to me right away instead of waiting for the whole package to be ready. My pre-order of Django Prepare A Coffin is sitting there because it doesn't look like they have it in stock yet even though today is release day.

I don't know why they're dicking around especially since I buy most of my movies from them and I spend thousands of $$$ a year with them.

I almost feel the same... been a long time customer, can't afford their elitist club membership fee every year, but it seems that "If you ain't Prime, they don't have the time. (for you)" lol

LOL...I wish they'd keep track of a "VIP" type customer and take care of them better...and no I don't mean Prime. I give them enough money already.

Yup, this has been going on all this year, at least with the relatively few orders I've placed. The default delivery window now is 2 weeks, when it used to be 2-3 days in reality for in-stock items. Now in-stock stuff seems to sit for at least a week before entering the true shipping process, including the "preparing for shipment" BS process for typically 3 days. IMO this is a fake process where they think you're getting annoyed by now, so they have this phony stage where they won't let you cancel. This is not the same as the other/next phony stage of "shipping soon" (could be 1-2 days) and "shipping today" (could also be 1 or 2 days, I've had 3 days in this stage once this year). You can't cancel in any of these stages anymore (used to be able to in at least the first two). The Canada Post end happens in 1-2 days after that, so it ain't them.

As I whinged about earlier this year , my belief is they (cleverly) "invented" these prolonged uncancellable shipping stages with stage names that keep you hanging on and having hope, because when they started to "force" Prime on people (by intentional delays), they knew people would get annoyed and want to cancel orders. Actually, I'm kind of impressed by their thinking. I'd never think of something like that myself. Not so impressed by the results (at my end) though...

[Corruptoid]

Weird, everything I have ordered has come the same week, and I don't have prime. Could be because I live within 30 min of their warehouse though.
