I ordered a DVD on Monday from DVD Empire, but the DVD is scheduled for a 5/22 release date. I used a credit card and ordered after 2:00. It still hasn't shipped. I was just wondering about how long it takes for them to ship DVDs.

??? The street date isn't until next week and you're complaining? I mean DVDempire usually does a good job (most things shipped the Friday or Sat before, although some shipped on or a couple of days after street date). To be complaining already though don't you think that's a bit much?

I typically get shipping notifications for pre-releases from them the Friday before and virtually always get the disc by Monday (but then, I am very close to them geographically).
While they are the most consistent shipper of any of the vendors I have purchased from extensively, if you are looking to get your discs several days before release date, I suggest you try a different vendor.

If you order something that is in stock, it will ship that day. Unless you order past something like 4pm. They have extrememly fast turnaround. For me, I always get my disc 2 days after shipping.
They ship pre-orders on Friday, and they always arrive for me on Monday.

I bet this is your first time to order online.

Preordered "Tora! Tora! Tora! SE" dvd a few weeks ago from Dvd Empire. Got a email shipping notification to Hawaii on Friday and it arrived on Monday, one day before it streets. Can't beat that even got it cheaper than buying it at my local Costco since I brought 2 copies.

DVDEmpire is one of my top online vendor behind Amazon and above Tower.
They are very reliable and have been hassle free when I had to exchange my Leon defective disc last year.
Just hoping that they raise their customer service to Amazon's standards. Don't get me wrong, they are very good compared to other online vendors out there, but not quite as good as Amazon.
Peace!
