However, this is just a tracking number to indicate that they created a mailing label, and the USPS site doesn't yet show that they have it in their possession. At these prices, though, I won't complain about slow handling times!

Just received a shipping confirmation for everything except the Peter Gabriel which is backordered for "in no case later than 60 days" as kevgret reported as well.

Check your junk/spam folder. I got my order confirmation email in my inbox, but for whatever reason, when it shipped, the email with the tracking number went to my junk folder.

[zman73]

Got my cancellation on the Peter Gabriel set, just as well I guess as I have the regular blu Ray for that. Everything else has supposedly shipped as of two days ago, but nothing shows up when I track it yet

[KINGDANGER]

Yup, they just cancelled my New Blood as well.

[Midnight Rambler]

Finally got an email and it was not good; all 3 items in my order got cancelled. I can understand as there were some pretty attractive prices on them, however all 3 items still show up on their site ...WTF ?

[drb124]

To those who have contacted them, is there an email address or just the contact link? I have sent two messages with first on Monday and I have heard nothing back.

I'm in the same boat. I noticed that they shipped these via media mail, which is pretty much the slowest and cheapest method available. I doubt the USPS even scans media mail packages. The only reason the label creation shows up is because it was uploaded through their software when they prepared the packages for shipment. These will probably just show up randomly at some point, which I'm totally fine with. The shipping cost was more than reasonable, especially for a large set like the Ten Commandments, and I'm in no hurry.

Thanks, OP. Ordered my copy of The Ten Commandments from Hamilton on 2/22, and I received a shipping notification that it was shipped out on 2/23. I wonder how many of these sets they have?? I've been spreading the good news to friends that aren't on this forum... so who knows how many they have stocked up.

Great deal...

I always read about them on here but only ordered a few times. Had really bad luck with scratched discs and was too hesitant to order except for the occasional wish list items.

'It ain't no GoHastings' would normally be considered a massive compliment in my house. I never had a local store within a couple states so that wasn't available either. OTOH, unlike others I took no joy or solace at another option going down the tubes even if I never used them. The more options, the better

Yeah, it was an awesome in-person store. Online is hit or miss...mostly miss.

I've ordered a lot of random stuff from Hamilton Books over the past year, mostly random low cost blurays or DVDs. The shipping took a little longer, but everything arrived in great condition. Would definitely recommend for their low cost titles as there are always great random deals that pop up for Arrow or Vinegar Syndrome blus.

[meremortal]

Got my order today and am very pleased. Everything was packaged within a cardboard mailer and there were no floaters or cracked cases, etc. And everything was brand new, which was nice and made the deal even sweeter considering I ordered these at like 4am and wasn't really paying attention.

[TheLaughingMann]

My stuff arrived yesterday. Manhunter CE and Amadeus Digibook. I love that it comes with some reading and a nice little compilation CD of some of Mozart's music.

Best find in a Walmart dump bin, was finding Redneck Zombies. Highlight of my life.

Worst VHS I ever purchased, was Redneck Zombies. Low point of my life.
