Usually three days at the most, sometimes two or even overnight.

overnight for super saver??? you sure bout that? that would be some next day UPS type stuff which doesn't seem likely...

ps) anyone see the price jumps on titles like Garp=$9.49; Quick Change=$13.49 & Personal Best=$13.99. i guess if you snooze on these you really do lose on these.

I've chosen SS before and had my item go into shipping mode almost immediately then ship out that same day only to receive the package the next day via USPS from a very close warehouse. It can happen but it's rare. Mostly, it takes 2 or 3 days to enter the shipping process, then another 3 or 4 days to receive it if the item is in stock.

A couple times it took 3-4 days for me, but I do remember one order that took 7-8 days. It may have been one of those "usually ships in 3 days" things.

Just the other day I received a couple of Blu-rays the day after I ordered them. That's why I never bothered with Prime, since free shipping is lightning-quick anyway. The longest I can recall waiting is three days.

i concur with the other posts re timeframe, but in my experience, it almost always varies. amazon could hold the order for days, amazon could ship right away but usps could hold it for days, you get the idea

I think it varies by how far away you are from where they decide to ship from. I've had orders arrive in a couple of days, and I've had them arrive in eight.

Re: AMAZON.COM 2 for $10 dvd titles

Some of these titles (maybe most I didn't check) are Anchor Bay titles that are sometimes B1G1 at DD for 3.00 each.

The regular price of many of these at DD is 6 bucks and change, so this is not much of a deal.
