Received those 3 titles yesterday. So I'm back to the original 2 from the other sale (Posiedon and Poltergeist) and Zombieland from this one. Oyie.

Re: Another DD BOGO sale
I received everything but Zombieland today. I wonder what will come of that. If you use Paypal, don't they kill the order after a certain amount of time if charge isn't completed or something? I remember people warning something about using Paypal with DD before during one of the big sales. If I see it reasonable elsewhere before it ships, I'll want it canceled anyway. I'm not giving them more than a couple weeks unless canceling it will fuck with the price on the other titles I got.

DD is Nuts , They shipped Life Of Brian on Oct. 8th and still no sign of it .....really I don't care if it's Post,Media,or First Class or a carriage pulled by a horse there is no way it takes this long.

I'm not normally going to stick up for DD, but you ordered 12 days ago. 4 of those days have been weekends. Media mail can take quite a bit longer than 8 business days.

Re: Another DD BOGO sale
So I guess if I receive it Saturday I should give it back to the Postman and tell him to deliver it on a business day?

They must lose money if they send stuff out first class ...BUT..wouldn't a few cents more to make sure their customers get it sooner than later help business in the long run ....like a return customer.

Don't forget who you are talking about here. If you've spent any time on these forums you have to know what they are like. If you haven't, then I'll tell you this is the norm. Their name is DEEP DISCOUNT after all.

I am not Mad ...I guess when you are receiving DVDs everyday from other retailers like Second spin (who also send Media mail) and I am getting it within a week ..business day be damned....it's frustrating.

Having processed a number of bulk mail jobs myself over the years, it's not too unusual for things to take two or three weeks to arrive (granted, this is mainly for remote/rural locations).

Got part of my order on Tuesday (Breaking Bad: Season 1). So far the status on Season 2 hasn't changed but I'm fine with waiting since it was such a good deal on it.

A lot depends on their volume...the bigger they are the more direct they can be. Shipping whole pallets of stuff to a BMC is a hell of a lot quicker than putting pieces into the mail system individually.

Re: Another DD BOGO sale
I doubt it's title specific. I still have 8 orders going all the way back to 8/23, and only 1 title has (supposedly) shipped out of all of those orders (my most recent order). (It was the movie I wanted the least in all my orders BTW... almost as if they could read my mind.) Jacob's Ladder was not on my list. It seems they basically don't intend to ship anything I ordered. When Black Friday comes around, I'm not passing on equivalent deals because I don't have any confidence in DD any more. To quote Kirk: "Don't believe 'em, don't trust 'em".

DD should call these BONGO sales. Buy One, Not Get One.

Re: Another DD BOGO sale
What the hell? Either the cancellation option on the order status page doesn't work, or they take forever to actually do anything. I canceled Zombieland through there early this morning and the status still hasn't changed from "processing" nor have I received an email to confirm it's done. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it never even showed up as backordered on there. Piece of shit site. I suppose I'll have to call them when they open in the morning.
