I thought maybe I'd get it early. Doesn't look like it.

TWEC hasn't shipped ANYTHING that I ordered over a week ago:

Dr. Strangelove SE
Virgin Suicides
Princess Mononoke
Best of Hitchcock Vol. 1
Best of Hitchcock Vol. 2
Ben-Hur
Bedazzled

Nevermind that they list them as "in stock."

That's weird; TWEC has shipped three of the five March 13th releases I pre-ordered, including Bedazzled. I'm still waiting for them to ship Reform School Girls and Tuff Turf.

They're not real fast at shipping anything really, are they?

I've actually had great experiences with TWEC.com. For every DVD I've ordered (except one), they've FedExed it or Priority mailed it within a day or two. For the one they took their time on, I sent them an e-mail about it, they got back to me the next day saying they'd look into it, then the next day they sent me another e-mail saying they'd just shipped it, and I got it Priority Mail two days later.

Same here. I usually disregard their ships in status, because from my experiences, just about anything not backordered will ship within one or two days anyway.

IT'S SHIPPED

Hey, gang... I checked my Order Status for The Rock:CC today, at 8:50 AM, and it listed The Rock:CC as shipped. YES! I'm eager to see this.

RainMan... congrats on 100 posts! Try e-mailing Twec.com's customer service... they were taking their time on sending me "Rushmore:CC" and I e-mailed them... they got back to me the next day saying the got the e-mail, and the day after that they shipped it.

I ordered The Rock: CC and Ben Hur at the same time and I've already received Ben Hur. The Rock is still listed as backordered. I placed the order just last week so perhaps I missed the first batch of The Rock: CC?? Would it do me any good to email the customer service??? I don't want to add to their email queue if it's not neccessary.

I've been waiting for Rear Window from TWEC for a week or so. I emailed their support and got no reply. I don't even think I can check status on the site (or at least I can't find where to do it).

I preordered The Rock at Amazon about 3 weeks ago, and it shipped today. Gotta admit..though Amazon ships late, I don't get that backorder crap.

Still waiting for my copy. They said it was sent out on Monday, but when I go to track my order, their site says that "your order number does not exist". WTF????

IT'S HERE!

SWEET... The Rock:CC showed up at my door today, via USPS Priority Mail. Another gold star for Twec.com.

I've had a good twec.com experience, I recieved Wonder Boys Monday (the day before it came out) and Almost Famous today (the day after it came out). This is the fastest I've ever gotten pre-orders. I am impressed.

TWEC took a month and a half for my order of 2 DVD's. Terrible

I know it's not The Rock, but has anyone who pre-ordered the two Best of Hitchcock collections received them? Mine are still on backorder and I'd hate for them to cancel the order after 30 days. Do you think I should try to cancel the order and reorder somewhere else? I did use a coupon for this order, but having the DVDs in my hand in a few days might be worth more than the savings from TWEC.

I gave up on these guys. I found them in stock at CD Now and ordered them. With their new 15% off coupon, I was still able to get them for a very good price. TWEC has yet to respond to my e-mails and I can't find a phone number on their website. That's not very good customer service in my book.
