Re: ImportCds - 10% Off sitewide
How does ImportCds handle orders with both in-stock items and pre-orders? I had no idea Olive was releasing The Quiet Man on BD in January and I want to order it now along with other items but I won't if they hold the order until the pre–orders ship.
What other Olive films should I be looking at?

I'd definitely go for the Blu-ray over the DVD, it's only $2 more and certainly worth that for the PQ upgrade. It's a typically modest Olive release, but, as with most of what they're putting out, pleasantly acceptable and doubtless MIA otherwise.

I've never had an issue with ImportCds. Sometimes the shipping can be a bit slow, especially if one lives on the opposite coast: East Coast vs West Coast. I assume the tax issues pertain only to those living in California. I just got a great deal on the 50th Anniversary Ltd. Edition Box set of LAURENCE OF ARABIA $56.75 which included shipping/handling charges. Finally, they haven't ever offered any more than the 10% discount so don't hold your breath for other deals.

Re: ImportCds - 10% Off sitewide
My experience with ImportCds has been mixed. I liked them because they used to ship early on pre-orders, sometimes getting your discs a week or more in advance. Ever since Shout Factory got upset about Halloween 2 going out early, they've stopped doing that. Their stock will still say available on pre-orders if they have them in the warehouse before release, but they won't ship until a week before street date so that it will arrive right on the correct date. Which is still nice, but be warned that as soon as you make your order, your status goes into "allocated", which means they package it and let it sit there until it's time to ship...the bitch is that you can't cancel. I went back and forth with them on this because I wanted to cancel a pre-order, and they refused to give me a reason why they couldn't stop the shipment even though it wasn't gonna ship for another week and my card had still not been charged. Ridiculous.
Also, let it be known that if you pre-order and the street date on the item gets delayed, your pre-order will be cancelled if more than 30 days lapse since the day you made the order...with NO notification from them. Your order status will just say backordered forever even though they show instock on the item itself after final street date has passed. I was waiting like a dumbass on this one time before finally emailing them asking them what was up, and that was the explanation, with the added "there was no way you could know about this". Well, I would have if they had emailed me to tell me in the first place.

I emailed them asking to cancel several titles from an order so I could re-order them with the 10% off code, and they did it with no problems.

Son of a bitch, this is exactly why I wanted to do it, too, but they refused. But, were yours pre-orders and in stock? Did it say allocated on your order status?

Also, DD used to be able to sort your wishlist by price, which was helpful to see if there were any items that had dropped in price. This is one of several features that disappeared in their web site "upgrade" of a few years ago
