The same here. My copy from bestbuy.com is due to be delivered tomorrow. I might just return that one if the TCM copy magically ships.

Same here, although I'll be excited when we get a shipped confirmation and tracking number. It can still (and I'm guessing it will) get canceled.

I checked out as a guest but took a screen shot of my order.

Just a waiting game. Great if it goes through, if not, oh well.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

[QUOTE]I wonder how many order they've gotten for this?

Once the SDers got onto this, TCM has probably gotten more orders than every other retailer combined.[QUOTE]

No kidding. I hate that site. It's hard enough for deals like this to go through but then you have dipshits on that site saying stuff like "OMG I bought 7 copies that I'm going to flip!" Well when someone buys seven copies of something a red flags going to be raised.

Honestly not saying I don't want people to get in on the price error, but it seems pretty unlikely that they'd honor a price mistake of over $100. That's a lot to lose and depending how many orders they got could add up really fast.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

If anyone wants to see if their copy has shipped I urge you to go sign up for a UPS My Choice account. It's actually a very useful service that tracks all your UPS deliveries based on your home address and you will frequently get alerts from UPS long before the seller/shipper sends you a confirmation.

This has never been more useful than a situation like this where people are waiting on pins and needles to see if TCM will ship their package or not.

My TCM order status still says active/preorder but thanks to UPS My Choice I can already see that TCM has shipped my package and it is currently in transit out of Louisville, KY.

If you sign up and see a package coming from AEC ONE STOP GROUP INC coming to you then it looks like you're one of the lucky ones.

Edit: got my shipping notice minutes ago but thanks to UPS My Choice I knew a couple hours ago.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

When did you order, how many quantities, and what was your shipping choice, Guru? I'm still waiting to see if mine will ship or get canceled.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

I got a shipping email as well for one Halloween and another unrelated Blu-ray. They canceled my second order completely that had Agents of SHIELD in it. The order that shipped was made very early, almost as soon as the deal went up.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

I ordered Sunday night and got a confirmation email but just overnight my status was changed from preordered to backordered. Better than cancelled but that could still change.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

Blah... I ordered around 10pm EST and mine shows backordered now. People who claim to have ordered after that are claiming theirs shipped.

I don't really care if I don't get it... but the waiting is killer. Just cancel it or ship it.

Yeah, at first I was like "if they honor it, cool. if not, no biggie." But the suspense has been built up so much, that I'm going insane wondering what will happen hahahahahahahaha

I am still waiting on a shipping or cancellation notice.

My status is still ACTIVE
Backordered
Estimated Ship Date: 2014-09-23

I ordered around 8pm on Sunday night.

I tried signing up for MY UPS CHOICE but system must have been down as they could not verify my identity.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

Went from Preorder to Backorder. Didn't have a date with the backorder status earlier, but now it has a shipping date of today.

It is a mystery.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

I find it funny that people here and on blu-ray.com have gotten shipping notifications and I haven't gotten shit. Since I am the one who found the deal and first posted it on blu-ray.com a good half hour after I placed my order you would think I would have been one of the first to have their order fulfilled?

I am not pissed that I didn't get one for $20 but that others did who placed their orders hours after me. I was going to give it as a gift anyways since I have one from Best Buy out for delivery.

After TCM deals with whoever is responsible for the error listing they might check out their fulfillment center too.

Yea man... I feel for you. I said the same thing on blu forum... but you gotta wonder... should you have just kept it to yourself? Those forums are fucking ridiculous and killed this deal.

They knew it was you and retaliated by not shipping it.

Just kidding. I understand your pain.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

Its naive to expect these fulfillment centers to process orders on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are logistics at play that would baffle all of us if we were privy to them but I'm sure there's a rhyme and reason to it.

I'd like to see everyone who got an order in get theirs but I don't think its reasonable for any merchant to process orders in a manner that minimizes internet nerd forum anxiety issues. I don't think its reasonable for an online retailer to consider the experience of a customer who scours internet forums for other shipping notices.

Yeah, just got my cancellation email from TCM. I did get a 30% off coupon, though, so I may hit up some of them Criterion titles.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray

I got the "sorry 30%" email but I still haven't received a cancellation. When I check the status via the original confirmation email it just says backordered.

I'm not going to lose any sleep if it gets cancelled, but now I'm just puzzled as to its status.

I am not a math wiz but If they sent out a mass email to everyone who has an account and not just the people that ordered the Halloween set a 30% off coupon wouldn't it have been cheaper just to fulfill the error orders?

Perhaps. Honestly, they're a giant corporation, so if they had just granted the items at those prices in goodwill for fucking up they would have reaped repeat business. Hell, I'd have given them even more business in general without waiting for the occasional.
