Did anyone receive either Fly double feature, or the Voyage..../Fantastic Voyage discs yet? All I can see is my Fly (1958) says "On Order" which means I probably won't see it for a while.....everything else says "Sent To Warehouse" which I guess means it could show up any day.

I don't know man... I have Fly/Fly II on order and haven't heard anything so far. Nor have I heard about Halloween 5 Tin.

Good luck on getting yours.

Well it does look like there is going to be some delay at least for me on these titles. I ordered all three of them, but on three separate orders with other titles to use the coupons. All of the other titles have shipped but the three double features are now saying "On Order". Guess they'll send mine when they get some more in. Can't complain about the price at least.

I, too had a pre-order on Fly/Fly 2. When I called to inquire about my order, they said it was back-ordered and it would be 1-2 weeks before they would get more stock in. Of course, that's not guaranteed, it could be 6 weeks, who knows.

I ordered my FLY/FLY 2 a week sooner than DeepSleep and I wonder how they decide when to ship. Certainly NOT chronological order of pre-orders.

Same thing happened with EDWARD SCISSORHANDS which I ordered in early July.

I just decided to cancel these titles and order from other vendors that deliver ON TIME.

Heh have you cancelled from Buy.com before? Don't get me wrong, I like them, but that's one thing they're a little notorious for is the ease or I should say non-ease of successfully cancelling orders.

I'm not really worried about this, they've done this a couple times in the past and I know I'll get the order in another week or too...hopefully that is.

Wolfchild was right--on Sat. I received my OMEN after cancelling on Thursday.

Then on Sat. I get email telling me that EDWARD was shipped. Of course, that was after I learned that their stock would not arrive until 1-2 weeks.

Sounds typical...

I recently had one pre-order that eventually arrived about 3 weeks after the release date.

But - the bottom line is that eventually everything has always arrived, whether it be Buy.com, Reel, CDNOW, or even CD Universe.

Small consolation if you have to wait weeks, but I have yet to have any online site totally lose the order.
