(DEAD) Batman Begins Deluxe Edition 48% off at Amazon
10-29-05, 09:15 AM
#327
BJ's near me had the Batman Begins DE with comic book for $20.99 - there was about 8 or so left - they were located with the one disc widescreen/full screen ones - those were like $18.79. I picked up the two disc DVD.
There was a instore deal of $3.00 off if you bought either the one disc or two disc and a 35 pack (.5 liter size) of Berkely and Jensen Purified Water. (The water cost $4.99 so your getting the water for $1.99 before tax - if the water was Poland Spring, I would have done that deal for sure. B&J sucks!)

After waiting for three days to get a reply for my e-mail, I finally got a reply from the idiots at Scamazon:
Star Wars:ROTS is getting released on November 1st. Why do these idiots want to wait until Nov 15th to ship my order is beyond my comprehension. And this reply does not even address the out-of-stock problem that the Batman DE has! The CSR droid seems to have just sent a prepackaged reply without even reading my complaint!
PS: I called their toll-free number to explain the problem. The CSR just told me that I have to check my e-mail for the reply they sent. When I told him that the e-mail reply did not resolve the issue, he said: "I am sorry, but you have to wait until the shipping date mentioned on the email. If you do not get shipping confirmation at that time, then you call us. There is nothing else that I can do."

I'm totally confused about my order.. I didn't order until after the movie was released. I put it in my cart and came back the next morning and the price jumped $4 
. Still wanted it so I ordered. I thought I ordered the one with the comic book. Now it just shipped, but the price now on the site shows its $2 less than what I paid, plus in my order history the name does not say its with the comic, but when I click on the link it goes to the page with the comic version (which they don't have any of)...
So I guess I wait and see what arrives.

I just received confirmation that mine shipped. Like quite a few, I ordered it along with Star Wars as well. I guess I'll cross my fingers that it was the 2 Disc Version until it arrives.

I just received a shipping confirmation email too. It's shipping from New Castle, DE. I hope it's the version with the comic book.
I sent them an email last week asking for an exception to ship the item now since the item in the order won't be released until December. Well, they replied and upgraded it to standard shipping, so Batman didn't have to wait for the bad boy to come out in December.

They have to have a reason to get you to join Amazon prime don't they?

Hobgoblin,
SCAMAZON? You need to realize to NOT to go by the estimated SHIPPING/DELIVERY dates. I've been buying from Amazon for a # of years now and those dates are never accurate, the items always ship earlier and are delivered sooner than whatever estmiate is posted.
However, with the controversey over the apparently OOP comic book there are probably going to be some delays since there were a limited # of these DE sets, which wasn't anticipated by any of the retailers, right? I don't blame Amazon, but if you choose to ship your order w/ a unreleased title and choose super saver shipping, there is of course going to be some wait as to when an item ships.
The best thing to do is wait for AMAZON to ship your order and get the USPS delivery confirmation #'s, or UPS/Fedex numbers as those are going to give you the real-time information for the most part.
Kilroy,
email amazon and tell them the item you purchased is now $2 cheaper and since you just ordered this item they may give you the difference. They did for me when SMALLVILLE's S4 dropped in price $3 right after I ordered.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Told you not to worry about 2 week shipping estimate! I never bother with those dates, and rely on seeing the "we are preparing to ship these items..." notice and figure it'll be another day or two before the order ships.

mine is taking forever to come dammit. it's shipped UPS out of sparks, NV (which is weird because every other time i've ordered with Amazon it comes USPS from DE) and the tracking on Amazon says (3 Times!) that it's arrived in Hodgkins, IL but there's no record of it leaving the place. The UPS site says its on schedule to arrive on Nov 4 but i'm gettting very anxious waiting....

Mine was just shipped today from Scamazon. Hopefully it is the one with the comic book.
