Best Buy.Com Question
Does anyone know what day of the week Best Buy.com ships preorders? I am thinking of ordering two DVD's that are released on 2/25/03 if I choose overnight shipping should I have the DVD's by the 27th?
Thanks
Thanks

Not likely. Most likely your order will go to backorder at the release date and the in a week or 4 weeks after the release date, your order will ship. Thats been my history with them and pre-orders.

My history is they usually ship on the Saturday prior to release date and it arrives anywhere between release date to a week after.
It was usually later around the holidays and 3 day weekends

I've ordered almost everything from BB.com over the past 6 months and it usually works like this:
If you order at least one week + in advance, the order will ship on the Fri/Sat before the release date.
If you order on Wed-Fri, the order will most likely ship by Mon/Tues.
If you wait until Saturday/Sun when the flyer is available and they advertise the new releases, the order quantities skyrocket and it may not ship until the Fri after release.

I order alot from them. I like them because you can order in advance and they will adjust the price to the ad price automatically. I usually get my preorders right around the release date.

I preorderd My Big Fat Greek Wedding from them on the Saturday before release. It shipped on Monday before release and I received it Thursday, 2 days after release. Not bad in my book.
