They are local to me, I wonder how much it would be to buy their operation?

Wow! I'm not sure if I'll pull the trigger (since I'm drowning in media at the moment already), but I put three titles in my cart:
  • Santa Claus
  • Dark Night of the Scarecrow
  • Twilight People
...and it came to $30.76 shipped: just over $10 a title! That same order is $52.97 at Amazon.

Just watch the discount. There are a few titles that *don't* get the discount but nothing tells you otherwise. You must pay attention to the $$ amount in your cart to catch them.

Code isn't working for the Noir volumes, either.

Brian T 03-18-20 04:38 PM

Re: New VCI Website Is Up Focusing On Blu's
 
If you’re referring to the Noir Archive sets, those are part of the Kit Parker label, so as mentioned above they’re already discounted 25% and the other code won’t work.

As for other titles not working, those might also be Kit Parker or Sprocket Vault titles, which isn’t always clear. It would be easier if they specified right in the listing titles. It doesn’t help that all three labels seem to use the same graphic designer.

Pull up title on Blu-ray.com and it will tell you what studio

I missed that bit - both in the message above and the email they sent. The titles I found that aren't included are all Kit Parker titles.

It says in the email that the Kit Parker sets are already 25% off & the code isn't supposed to work on them work, that is correct.

Bit late here, but I ordered these Blu-rays last week:

BLOOD AND BLACK LACE
BRUCE'S DEADLY FINGERS
GORGO
HUMAN MONSTER
LEG FIGHTER'S
ONE MILLION B.C.

$68.70 shipped.

Looking forward to more of those Pearl River releases of old HK/Taiwan movies like Leg Fighters. I already have Arrow's Blood & Black Lace, but I'm curious to see the alternative supplements on VCI's version.

Probably worth it for huge fans of Blood & Black Lace.

I have the Roan of that set, too. It was specifically selected due to reviews indicating it was the best version available.

This is part of a bigger addition of 'curated' lines to their Black Friday sale. From their email blast yesterday:


You could say we have “curated” (we love that word!) a special collection of movie offerings that we think compliments and expands our own exclusive content. We are now featuring DVD and Blu-rays from our friends at: Kit Parker Films, Arrow Video, Blue Underground, MVD Entertainment, Classic Flix, Film Rise and S’more Entertainment, with more titles and studios to follow weekly. Below is just a small sample of some we have added. We hope you enjoy the new selection.

NOW WE'RE INCLUDING THE CURRATED TITLES
IN THE BLACK FRIDAY SALE!
ALL CURRATED TITLES ARE PRICED NOW AT
40% OFF THE SRP PRICE!
(Quantities may be limited. These Prices are subject to change, so don't delay...order today!)

I broke down & nabbed the 2 Pickford's due to the pricing, very reasonable shipping & no tax.

I'll point out Riders of Death Valley for older serial fans. Just came out literally last week and the BD is only $8.75 during the sale. Action-packed western serial from Universal with a big line-up of stars in the ensemble.

Warning: The Bela Lugosi "restored" Blu-ray of The Human Monster is Really Poor Quality. Other than some scratch removal they did on the blu, my Roan DVD is higher quality (both audio & video). At least it was only $8.00.

Re: VCI BF Sale Includes 2 Flicker Alley Mary Pickford Blu's @ $20.97 Ea
 
They're back to their slow shipping. Ordered the Pickford's 11/30. Called today asking for a tracking #. First the woman said they couldn't upload them them to the website because of a 500-900 order backlog that she has to handle by herself, & that their fulfillment center refused to do so.

She did email me a tracking #. Label was created yesterday (10 days after ordering). Has not yet been scanned by the USPS, & as it shipped from PA (East Coast) the way things are going with DeJoy & the USPS I'll be lucky to get it this year.

My first BF VCI order was also much faster than usual for VCI. This one is ridiculous. Are you saying you've already received the Pickford's?

As a backup, I had ordered these two titles from Amazon via importcds (the same parent company as DeepDiscount) on 12/4. There was no update on that order as well. Reached out via Amazon and an automated response email said it was shipped 12/5. Tracking status shows only pre-shipment/label generated on 12/5 and theres been no update since. Doesn't seem like that order will go anywhere. I detest the fact that a shipping notification is generated when a label is generated - it should ideally be when the first scan is performed on it. The same happened to my Best Buy BF order of 'BladeRunner 2049' 4k with a refund at the end

Yes. Paid 11/30, Printed 12/10, scanned at local PA post office 12/14, "in Transit" 12/15; tentative arrival date next Monday 12/21.

I am not happy with VCI. It's may be problematic for them, but they need to share tracking #'s in this day & age. Also not ok to print label 10 days after payment, & wait 4 days to take to the post office.

Good to know. The pandemic is having a major impact on retailers and USPS. Am glad it made its way from VCI to USPS but its becoming a challenge to think everything will be ok following that. USPS is facing enormous challenges keeping up with package delivery. Just no SLAs anymore. And if involves handover across systems (UPS Mail Innovations -> USPS), its even worse. My importcds order just shows 12/5 pre-shipment and no progress after that at all. Two of my Costco packages are stuck with USPS for 3 days now with no change in status. One of my eBay shipments though First class mail is stuck for 3 days with no change in status - how do you even guarantee your customer an approximate delivery date anymore with any sense of assurance ? Such a mess

Yep that's about what she told me. If they want to compete in 2021, they need a new fulfillment center.

Does anyone know where they are shipping out of? I did my first order with VCI during the Black Friday sale. It was only one item, but other than the initial order confirmation, nothing from VCI. I just saw that I have a package coming in from Pottstown, PA and was wondering if that package is from VCI.
