Is there a picture of the Heroes set next to the Sopranos set in your order history? They have a picture of the Heroes set next to my two Sopranos sets and the link takes me to the Heroes product description page. If my order does somehow get shipped, they better not send me 2 copies of Heroes in lieu of The Sopranos!

I ordered the Shrek the Third HD-DVD for $9.98 just to up my order to $25 for the free shipping, but I got an email today that the HD-DVD was no longer available and was canceled from my order, but nothing about the other DVD. I hope they still give me the free shipping, since that was what I really wanted anyway.

I spoke to Borders customer service as they cancelled 15 out of my 16 orders. I didn't even realize I had selected 'Talk To Me' as one of my orders - and lucky me - it was the one that shipped. *sigh*
Customer service gave me the 'once stock ran out, and inventory caught up the outstanding orders were cancelled' line. I'll be interested to see if folk are lucky enough to get any of the good titles shipped. If there even was any stock to begin with.

Needs to contact an admin about multiple accounts
And there we go. Checked my email this morning and ALL of my orders have now been cancelled.
I'm not really angry at not getting in on the deal, if there was even one to begin with, I'm angry at the stupidity of leading thousands of people to believe they may have gotten one and the fact that their web site is happening in 2008, not when the web first became big.
You'd think that this day and age web sites would be connected to databases that tell you when things are out of stock and prevent you from buying more.
Nope. Not Borders, who prices box sets at this price and didn't expect this mess to happen. Any idiot could have warned them. I'll bet someone did and the corporate mindset ignored the individual.
Well, Borders, you could have had your first sale ever from me. Now you'll have to wait until you actually have a REAL deal!
Good luck selling your 10 dollar non box set hd dvds!

I ordered these yesterday morning:
Battle Star Galactica S1
Wings of Honneamise
Planet Earth
Backorder last night, and now "In process" with a pending charge to my card. I'm not expecting this to go through, but I can hope. Well, cross my fingers anyway.

Borders really outdoes themselves time after time. They really have gone to s**t. For my first order from early on in the sale of The Sopranos 1 and 2 and Planet Earth, The Sopranos sets were cancelled, PE is still processing. I then called and had a CS agent reorder The Sopranos sets for me, and that order is still processing. But I would be shocked if we get any of these box sets.
After all this time, if I click through to the Sopranos sets from my order history, it still indicates shipping in 24 hours and allows you to add it to your cart. Yet they've been cancelling everyone's orders and telling people it was a price mistake. They are truly terrible.

What a Joke
Just had both Sopranos and Best of HD cancelled. This is such a joke. I ordered these like 3 days ago and am just receiving emails. Won't be ordering anything from Borders in the future.

Amazon has Planet Earth for $19.99
It's $10 more expensive, but at least you'll get it.

Can't believe I've used this image twice in two days, for two different companies. Oh well. Truth hurts.
