I placed my order on December 8th. I got 3 of the discs in time for Christmas, but I've twice had to approve a delay for Mythos. The thing that bothers me the most is that I sent STL to a friend who obviously ordered AFTER me & yet she did receive a copy of Mythos - & before xmas. I guess I should look on the bright side - that I could borrow her copy, but it's just not right.

Site now says Mythos usually ships within 4 to 5 days. But my delivery estimate is March 3, 2005 - March 16, 2005.

Dinner For Five
Margaret Cho: The Collection
Russian Ark
Joseph Campbell: Mythos
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth

these are the 6 things i ordered when this sale was going on. I got Dinner For Five and Russian Ark right away of course. I got The Power of Myth a week or so later, it was still before Christmas..... I got the Margaret Cho box set shortly after Christmas....

and now...today....I finally got a shipping confirmation for Wire In the Blood!!! :)

I am now just waiting on Mythos.

I wonder if you're the reason I got a STL kickback for that set out of nowhere, then. It was a nice surprise. :)

The topic of this thread is:
Cheap Stuff From Amazon Per DVD Price Search

So I'm looking for answer to the question:
How do you do a "per DVD price search" at Amazon.com?

If you go to the dvd pr i ce se a r ch dot com site (don't want to have the info altered to an inferior search engine!) then you can go to the advanced search page (there's a link up top) and enter price criteria, including those dvd's priced lowest at Amazon (as well as max price, min % off SRP, etc.)

I know I ordered Mythos well before many of the people ordered it who have already received theirs and mine was delayed yet again.

I don't know if I'm at the wrong site, but I don't seem to find any advance search button or area in pricegrabber.com .

That's the one. I'll try editing...

Ugh. Amazon just bumped the shipping estimate to April 12. :mad:

mnementh 03-02-05 12:25 PM

I complained to Amazon and got the following reply:


We are very sorry for the delay in completing the item "Joseph
Campbell - Mythos" in your order.

In looking into the situation, I see that the shipment of your order
has been delayed by a system error. Our technical specialists are
working hard to correct the problem so that we can ship your order
as soon as possible.

To help compensate you for this unexpected change, I have upgraded
the method of shipment for this order to "Two-Day Shipping". There
is of course no additional charge for this.

We now expect to ship the item "Joseph Campbell - Mythos" by the new
date listed on your ccount : March 07, 2005.

illennium 03-02-05 05:18 PM

I just called and got upgraded to free one-day shipping, and my estimated delivery date got bumped up to March 8-9.

Wannabe 03-02-05 06:52 PM

Let us know if your items actually ship. Thanks.

rbf1138 03-02-05 07:31 PM

I called too, for the third time in 3 months, and got moved back to March 7.

cine 03-04-05 01:47 PM

I sent them an email, got the ship-date moved back to March 9 and an offer of a shipping upgrade. Today I just got an email requesting approval for a one-month delay!!!

rbf1138 03-05-05 09:21 AM

Yeah, that's happened to me about...6 times now, yet of course it says on the site shipping in 6-11 days. I'm betting they send out the new orders of it, at 90 dollars before any of us get it.

cine 03-09-05 10:35 PM

Anyone getting their Mythos shipped yet?

illennium 03-09-05 11:41 PM

Oh, hell no. Mine got bumped back to April 13 the day after I called.

mnementh 03-10-05 12:24 AM

Amazon's system keeps bumping my shipment date to April. Customer service has set it to March 9 two times. The first time, they gave me free two-day shipping and the second, free one-day shipping. It didn't ship today but they gave me a $20 gift certificate. I don't mind if they keep bumping the shipment date as long as they keep sending me gift certificates. -ptth-

Christi P 03-10-05 01:03 AM

How did you get a $20 gift certificate? Did you ask for it?

illennium 03-10-05 01:03 AM

Did you ask for the certificate? Did you complain? I may call tomorrow to get one.

mnementh 03-10-05 01:25 AM

I've been complaining every time my shipment date got bumped. It's flip-flopped from March to April three times in the past week. I guess a gift certificate is a step up from free one-day shipping.

rbf1138 03-10-05 10:54 AM

I've also called and been moved then bumped 3 or 4 times, yet I've only gotten a $5 gift cert. Damnit, 20 would make me a lot less annoyed with this.
