Best preorder site
 

Whats the all around best site to order preorders and have them at your house either on release day or before? Preferably good prices, hows deep discount dvd's preorders?

Preorder sites...
 

As for DEEP DISCOUNT DVD, I have great a experience
with them thus far. All releases were shipped out in a
timely fashion and at a fair price.

Other sites for preorders that I've had good experiences
with include:

AMAZON.com
CDNOW.com
TWEC.com
800.com
BUY.com

The above sites were equally as reliable as DEEP DISCOUNT.

I hope this helps?

I stick withthem for the best pre-order prices and I usually get my DVD's the Monday before Street Date.

THe only other one I have tried from highdef's list is Amazon.com and have had TERRIBLE luck with them for getting pre-orders. I usually don't get them until a week after they are released. THe same applies to Buy.com.

thanks
 

That helps. Thanks a lot.

Re: DVDEmpire!
 

Agreed! :thumbsup:

I've had really slow pre-order shipping from buy.com, can't comment on the rest yet...

I have had good experiences when ordering from express.com. 2 times, both early.

I've preordered once from Amazon and it was early. Once before that (not a preorder) they took about a week before they even shipped it. All of the titles said usually ship withing 24 hours.

The best sources for pre-orders so far...(..and I have been doing business with this guys for awhile....):
.deepdiscountdvd.com
.dvdempire.com

DDD are truly aweome!!!

I've never shopped at DDD.

Have they had any coupons recently, if only for new customers?
Yes, I did check the bargain forum and didn't find anything..

Nope.

But their prices and the willingness to price-match other e-tailers make up for it.

DVD Empire! Just recieved CHOCOLAT and AKIRA Tin today. They usually ship new releases the Friday before the Tuesday release date.

Amazon is improving now. This year I have been receiving my pre-orders on the release day or the next day. They ship preorders on Saturday and Sunday instead of Monday now. It also depends where you live and how close you are to their warehouses.

I don't mind waiting a couple of days in exchange for a better customer service, especially if the shipment arrives damaged.

DVDEMPIRE is simply the best....DVDEMPIRE DVDEMPIRE

Digitaleyes is great!
They always ship quickly, the customer service is great, and th're prices are good too.

I got my Akira: LE tin earlier.

I just pre-ordered American Pie Ultimate Edition from DVDEmpire since I'm going away for the week and won't be able to pick it up. What mail class does everyone use to get it before release date? Also, do they charge your credit card when it ships or when you make the order? Thanks for any and all info.

I have all my orders hipped Priority. I used Media Mail once or twice, but mostly I use the priority service and I almost always get the movies before street date. The answer to your second question is that they charge when the item ships and not when it is ordered. I have about 1500 bucks worth of prebooks from them and I only see what ships get charged.

As for the opening question in this thread, I used Express exclusively for a long time until they up and cancelled my orders, I followed the advice of this forum and tried DVD Empire, and they haven't let me down yet, I really reccomend them!

Before release date? I believe USPS.

Charged? When they ship your title. :)

Hope this helps. :)
