How long after the shipment e-mail did you get the tracking number? I paid for 2 day, and I got the one saying it left their facility. That's awesome it works

I ordered mine yesterday, and I got the e-mail saying it has left their facility. I would give it a shot. If nothing else you could cancel the order. go to their site and it says Available: Ships in 12 hours or something like that.

Here's the order breakdown:

1 - 2:19pm 08-19-2008 - received the e-mail confirming the order

2 - 6:05pm 08-19-2008 - received the e-mail saying it was on its way

3 - 1:13pm 08-20-2008 - received the tracking number (didn't show up in the system until that evening though)

4 - approx. 11:30am 08-21-2008 - received the blu-ray from DHL

I used next day shipping.

[BruceWayne]

Thanks, I should have done next day... may not be until Monday for me unless DHL does Saturday delivery. Either way, getting it sooner is fine by me

I thought the same thing. Geez... You must REALLY love that movie.

Yeah, I was getting ready to post that so BruceWayne wouldn't second guess his shipping choice as much. The total ended up being $39.85 when using next day shipping. As the guy in the Wendy's commercial would say, it's a personal choice.

Lol, that's what made me only do 2 day.... only $9.99 Still more than I would normally pay, but my older brother thinks this is "the coolest f$*king movie ever made" so more for him than me. mine was about $32... so not terrible. more than I would normally pay for any catalog title though... like you said, it's a personal choice.

Owa... am I reading that correctly on the pic you provided. They are offering a $10 mail-in rebate for those who currently own the Standard DVD version? If so...

[BruceWayne]

I actually just got mine today... ordered it yesterday and paid for 2 day shipping... so got it quicker than I thought gonna be a sounds testing night

Only problem is the proof of purchase is on the plastic sleeve... I don't want to cut mine up. but they are offering it if you don't mind cutting yours up

Guess I'm going to have to pass up on the $10 rebate then. Thanks BruceWayne.

Cool avatar.

I love the detailing along the side and the bottom, like the label doesn't go that far...nice touch.

No problem, that was my thought too. I wouldn't mind the $10 but I don't want to cut it up either. And it's not like other sleeves where you could toss them and it looks the same either way. It wouldn't look right without the sleeve I'm too anal about that sort of thing, but still

For the rebate, you have to do the following.

1. Proof of purchase tab or UPC from your original DVD
   
2. Proof of purchase tab from your blu-ray hi-def version of the same movie (they have the rebate on Transformers, The Godfather, Old School, Stardust, Sweeney Todd, and Zodiac).
   
3. Cash register receipt for your NEW blu-ray hi-def purchase imprinted with the store name and dated between 9/2/08 - 12/31/09 with purchase price circled (photocopies acceptable)
   
4. This original, hand-printed, completed certificate (no photocopies allowed).
