anyone order the MI boxset(HD-DVD) from buy.com and not get it yet?
I have had my order in for a month now and still no boxset. I am about ready to cancel my order. I see the set come in stock numorous times and yet my order never ships. is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I recently ordered 12 Monkeys HD DVD from buy.com and it said "sent to wherehouse" for at least a week. Two days ago they sent me an email canceling the order because of an invalid address and they said they would credit my account. That had to be some template cancellation reason because they shipped my other 15 orders with no problems. I ordered it again (it said in stock both times), so we will see if it actually ships this time. My only guess is that they are having trouble getting and keeping some of the HD titles in stock.

Buy.com didn't get their reputation for having *good* customer service. It took them about three weeks to get me my copy. No explanation given. They have a long way to go, and they pre-date Amazon.

Sorry, my set shipped a few days after I ordered it (although that was just a couple of days ago so I don't have it yet). It only cost me $44.99 because of the Google Checkout deal.
However, I still have not received The Adventures of Robin Hood from Bestprices. I ordered that with another title almost two months ago. When the shipment arrived two weeks later, Robin Hood was missing. I called them about it and they said they would ship it immediately, but I'm still waiting. I've have to call them again.

that is what is getting me a bit upset. I placed my order on Oct. 30th and they have been telling me for almost the whole month that the set in on backorder yet they are continually shipping out sets for people who have ordered way after me.
I think I'm just going to cancel and order elsewhere.

This thread is a perfect example of why I stopped using Buy.com years ago. I tried them again recently because of the google checkout promo and things have not changed at all it seems.

It may be cheaper as well because of the $20 off $50 deal.

i ordered on 10/30 from buy.com with google too. ive been getting nothing but backordered emails so finally i cancelled it the other day and reordered it Tuesday with the new (and better 20 off coupon) and it just shipped today. I only ordered again because it says in stock and i figured they screwed up my order and it was gonna be in backordered limbo forever. buy.com sucks.
basically i did what the dude above me just said to do lol.
o yea I just remembered it took them a week almost to cancel it too. I requested it last friday morning and just yesterday I actually got confirmation that it was cancelled last night--it still said they might ship it up until then.
