Same here, even though my order from this sale has already shipped. I emailed customer service about this early in the week and still have yet to receive a response from them (unacceptable). So I called yesterday morning to talk to customer service about this and they said 2 of the 3 titles were in-stock (since Boomerang has been pulled) and he didn't understand why they were listed as backorder. He said he'll fix my order and they will ship on Monday (order status still says backordered though). I forgot to ask what I'll be charged since now I'm only getting 2 movies instead of the 3 for the price of 2. We'll see how I end up getting charged and whether I'll need to call back.

Looks like you're going to need to call DDD customer service to fix this since they are not backordered.

Well, the films included are completely different in each collection. The Herzog/Kinski Collection is a collaboration collection while the Herzog Collection is solely Herzog.

For instance, these are the titles in the H/Z Collection:

# Aguirre, The Wrath of God in Full Frame Presentation (1.33:1)
# Woyzeck in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1)
# Cobra Verde in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.77:1)
# Nosferatu in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) - German Language Version
# Fitzcarraldo in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1)
# My Best Fiend in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.77:1)

And these are the ones included in the Herzog Collection:

# The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
# Even Dwarfs Started Small
# Lessons of Darkness
# Fata Morgana
# Heart of Glass
# Little Dieter Needs to Fly
# Stroszek

If you're a completionist or a Herzog enthusiast, you'd probably want both collections. It sucks that the H/Z Collection is OOP.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll be placing an order for Mr. Arkadin sometime this week. But after reading all the hype on here about Cemetary Man, I'm wondering if I should order this as well when it comes out? I read about it and it sounds pretty cool...so, I ask again...good blind buy? DVDTalk review is good so I think I may pull the trigger on this as well.

Calmuser

Lets post this again, since I havn't gotten a response from the last thread.

Have any CDN's who ordered get theirs shipped yet? and did they downgrade your shipping to UPS??!

I was on DDD's order history checking out how much I've spent over the past 3 or 4 sales (a lot!). Anyways, I noticed that everytime I paid the extra $6.95 for shipping, I was never actually charged the $6.95 for shipping. I guess this is only the case since in every order, at least a couple DVD's were backordered. Since DDD only charges for the items that ship, the initial shipment that goes expedited only charges for teh DVDs that ship (but not the extra shipping charge). When the backordered items come in, they are charged as they ship. In the end, the extra $6.95 is never charged. This happened to me on 3 occasions over the past 3-4 sales.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Can we assume that expedited shipping is therefore free if you know at least one of the DVDs in the order is backordered?

uhftv

Doesnt the average cost per disc seem too high?

Shagrath

Well, it's actually more like cost per item, and when you factor in things like boxsets, Criterions, shelving units, etc, it doesn't seem totally unrealistic.

My first two orders have shipped!!! Except for Dazed and Confused : CC, nat. but with those two oreders and an order from Overstock I placed a day before the sale went online, I'm trying to hold off a third little order-I'll be recieving like 30 dvds here this week!!

Oh well, DDD rock on!

DVDho78DTS

The total charged in red in the order history doesn't include the extra shipping cost but is added when billed. At least that has happened each time I've placed an order with expedited shipping.

illennium

My 3 orders have shipped, including Dazed and Confused.

Vault Dweller

Thanks to all for the great suggestions.

illini420

Guess it was too good to be true. I dug out my cc bills and you're right, I was charged for shipping, even though DDD's order status says I wasn't. Thanks.

I love that movie. I bought it years ago for a lot more.

1 COL003949 DVD : IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT $ 15.31 In-stock
1 LGE018617 DVD : MOONLIGHTING-3RD SEASON $ 19.19 In-stock

Decided I needed more storage and did some comparison pricing as well as read some reviews about this unit. Looked like a very good deal to me. Also decided to get The Tunnel based on some recommendations.

Does anyone know if BLACK WIDOW (Debra Winger) and MEMPHIS BELLE (Matthew Modine) include anamorphic widescreen?

I have found conflicting info on the Internet, so unless someone can tell me for sure I have to assume they are non-anamorphic and won't buy them.
