How are Pre-Orders Shipped from Warner Bros. Store?
 

I had read here a couple of months ago (though I can't find the thread for the life of me) that, even though the Warner Bros. Studios online site states pre-orders only ship when all items ordered are in stock, in actuality, they ship each item as soon as it becomes available, so pre-ordering for a lengthy date spread shouldn't be a problem. This assurance came form several forum members, so I went ahead, used a 20% coupon and ordered multiple titles from Warner Bros. on Aug. 4, ranging from this week's Deliverance: Deluxe Edition and Troy: Director's Cut--Ultimate Collector's Edition to December 18th's Blade Runner: The Final Cut--Ultimate Edition. Problem is, today is the release day for Deliverance and Troy and yet neither of them have shipped (they are still listed with all the other titles I ordered as "In Process"). Has Warner changed its practices? Am I really going to have to wait until Christmastime to receive these titles (as well as Roots: The Complete Collection, Twilight Zone: The Movie and Stanley Kubrick Director's Series Collection)???

Is this the thread you were talking about?

I only ordered from them once and they shipped early, but it seems like they are falling way behind now.

That's the one; thanks! It tricked me by being in "Bargains", rather than "Store Forum". Good (bad) to see others are having my same problem and it's not just me.
