I got my BMW dvd today!
 
I got the dvd in the mail.I live in Canada so maybe they sent them out earlier.The bad thing about it is I payed $7.95 and they didn't package it,they just stuck a sticker on the back of the dvd with my address.Good thing the disk wasn't loose inside.Did anyone else get it?

C Roberts 05-27-03 02:12 PM

No outer package? In that case I suspect the kid next door will end up with mine. :-\

G-Rex 05-27-03 03:06 PM

?!?!?!?

I'll never see mine. My post office is notorious for opening mail and stealing stuff.......

If something does happen, BMW will be sending me another copy since I actually PAID for this one.

Kolchak: When did you order it? I didn't even know it could be ordered. Last time I was there I left my email to be contacted when they would become available, which I wasn't. Just ordered it now...

Kolchak 05-27-03 07:37 PM

I ordered it 12 days ago.I also left my e-mail a while ago but they never got back to me.I found out about it from other's that saw it on sale on the site.

Dan325ci 05-27-03 07:38 PM

I got mine too today (im in Canada)

There is NO insert and the case is pretty cheap....

Havent got around to watching it yet...

For those wondering, mine was ordered May 17th (which was a Saturday and they wouldnt have received the order till May 19th)

Heliosphann 05-27-03 09:17 PM

Non-anamorphic...


That stinks.

Tha Freak 05-27-03 09:54 PM

Got mine too...

yes it was just shrinhwrapped and a sticker on the back for my adress...

but I just watched the 1st one by John Woo, and I must say that I was quite surprised!!...amazed!

Quite nicely done...

I haven't had time to watch the rest of the movies nor the features...but for the price!...quite impressed!...

BRAVO!

sur MontrealDVD ? ;)

Venkman 05-27-03 10:21 PM

I got mine too today - the mailing label was attached to the shrinkwrap of the DVD. It doesn't matter though - it's here!

(I live in Toronto).

Phuzbox 05-27-03 10:39 PM

Damn you Canadians. Where's my disc :grunt:

movieking 05-28-03 08:33 AM

So what is the situation with the Follow? Is it the original one, or was Forrest Whitaker recast? Is it even on it? I thought that I read that it was...

movieking 05-28-03 08:47 AM

Also, where was it shipped from? The US or Canada?

Venkman 05-28-03 10:34 AM

I believe the mailing label said New Jersey.

canonwars 05-28-03 12:34 PM

I got mine today! I live in Vancouver, BC.

I've only watched The Chosen so far, but it seems different from when I saw it on the site. It seems to be a longer cut of the film :-)

hardtack 05-28-03 05:12 PM

Got mine today and I am in Sydney, Australia... same deal as the others with regards to the lack of packaging.

Yeah, but very carefully worded eh? ;)

Shipping to the UK is $7.75 USD (=£5) - and that's not even from the US to the UK, but from Germany to the UK :down: And we just get a sticker too, like you guys, not even an envelope or a proper Amaray, so it's light as a feather - so why are they charging $7.75 for shipping? :rolleyes: They would be better off saying the DVD costs $7.75 with free shipping - I'd respect them more for their honesty. After all, at the end of the day, this is promotion for them. They should be giving it away totally free! A whole new era of marketing has been launched - the consumer PAYS for the adverts :lol:

Honda UK gave away free DVDs of their latest adverts. And I mean free. Shipping was free too. And the DVD came in a nice transparent Amaray. Maybe I'm biased 'cause I'm a Honda owner though :D

Bilbo Baggins 05-28-03 08:44 PM

Man, I haven't gotten mine yet and I'm only like 2 states away from where they shipped it. That stinks that they didn't put any packaging around it. That pretty much guarantees it'll come half destroyed.
