Well, it's not out of the ordinary for DDD's media mail shipping to arrive after two weeks time, so I would wait a little longer. I'm sure they've been swamped...
My more recent orders are taking a lot longer to get here, but they've been arriving one by one. I think the most important part is that they arrive at all.

I also placed another order with BuyRite, where I managed to get the Geneshaft Complete Collection (they must have found a couple more) and the Please Teacher Collection (which has since gone up to $39.99). Also, after going to the Right Stuf item removal link provided by WTK, I didn't see the Azumanga Daioh box on the list. I checked and saw 1 in stock and managed to snag it along with some other stuff to get free shipping. I've really got to take a break from buying stuff, but these deals are too good to pass up. This month's thread is now bigger than the rest of this year's threads put together. Thanks from me (but not my wallet) to everyone for posting the deals and to justbarelymovin for maintaining the thread.

Thanks for some of the info guys. Yaeh, I hope that DHL is at least like UPS and leaves the item at my door as I have a little awning/cover there, but we're still expecting rain so I just hope that I am home..
Thanks for the post on the Azumanga box Skydog. I just noticed it as well, but it says sold out. I do hope that they get more in, or at least a few and I manage to snag it. If you guys see it, be sure to send me a PM perhaps please.

A little too much fan service for my tastes.

Blue Gender: Complete Collection from Overstock
Looks like I missed it on Overstock. Put my email in case they ever restock. But is this the individual 8 DVD set with an art box? Or that compact DVD case that can hold all 8 DVDs?
Thanks
Thanks

As long as the discs are okay, I can't complain too much. I was expecting something worse, so I'm pretty satisfied!

WTK, I love you too! You're absolutely awesome. Got in on the Azumanga Daioh box plus dvd 2, 4, and 5. I just wish that they had 3. I decided since they have plenty of 6 that i'd get it at a later date.

I'm so happy. I just got back home from going to Smiths and decided to look up rightstuf and lo and behold, they have on Azumanga Daioh 3 in stock. Ordered it and 6. Now I have the entire collection and it seems that the took Azumanga Daioh 3 completely off the site now.
