I finally called today... I have Battlestar, Planet Earth, and Heroes all "in process" status... my Sopranos was previously cancelled... the friendly girl I talked to advised me that in process means backordered and since they aren't going to get any more in, I shouldn't expect to ever see them... she wanted to cancel my order but I told her to just leave it pending and let the system cancel it when it does... she said it would continue to periodically authorize that amount on my credit card and I said that was ok as long as there was no charge until shipping...

Yeah, my Sopranos are still In Process but I'd be shocked if they ever are shipped. And BS about it being backordered, I ordered mine fairly early so I think either they didn't have that many (like less than 20 or something) or they're just not going to ship them at all (and maybe send them back to the studio).

You're a punk, Royal Space Force is the one I wanted the most 
My order still isn't canceled at Borders, but Amazon apparently shipped my Planet Earth order today. But this thread is telling me I'm outta luck, though I can leave the order open for as long as I feel it humors me, which will probably be a long while.

Why wasn't Matrix included in this? Last I saw, they still had it for like $109, which is bloody insane compared to the $40 it is everywhere else. What pisses me off even more is the fact the only 1 place has sold it under $40 (frys.com) and I missed that deal.

Still haven't received any emails from Borders, but it looks like my order was canceled, as I got an email from e bates telling me that my Borders order was either returned or canceled.

I gave up and cancelled my 2 open orders that were destined to sit in limbo indefinitely. Of course, that took me almost a week on its own, as every time I called to cancel, their computers were down. They've really gone to s**t.

I know it's likely most of these orders will end up never being fulfilled, but FYI, I just got my Royal Space Force and Mahler HD DVDs from this sale yesterday. The Royal Space Force set (DVD and HD DVD in a thick cardboard case) is very nice.
My first Borders order, however--for Planet Earth and the Sopranos sets--still sits In Processing.

Seems very random. I ordered late, but somehow managed to get Heroes S1 shipped. All the rest cancelled. If anyone wants to trade for BSG...

Hey, anyone notice right after this fiasco, they had advertised any and every imaginable technique to increase sales on the web site?!

I think they lead the web in website screw ups this year. The $5 off any item where you could reuse it over and over on the same order was fun a few months ago. Got like $200 worth of books for $30. My planet earth is still being processed and my sopranos was cancelled.
