I am considering placing a multiple DVD order at 800.com - some are preorders with different release dates.

Does anyone know if they hold orders until the last preorder date?

Thanks,
Matt

Preorders ship as they become available (all 11/21 would ship in one package, all 11/28 in another, etc.) Shipping charges are $1.95 + $0.95 + $0.95 + ... for EACH package.

SMACK http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/smile.gif This is not correct. They are charging $1.95 per pre-order even if they are released on the same date.

What dev-null should be saying is they are telling people (what he quoted) but it isn't true.

OUCH!!! I asked for that one, heh. http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Thanks for setting me straight.

I wish 800 had more options for shipping, e.g., "hold until complete" / "ship what's available, hold the rest" and/or after-the-fact splits like absound.ca does. If this was implemented, I'd probably send even more of my business 800's way... SteveA, are you listening? http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/wink.gif

I'm listening. We do intend to add more shipping options. I just don't have any information on when that will be done.

Steve,

When is 800.com planning to ship internationally to places such as Singapore ?

We often discuss sites like 800.com in our local forum, and I can assure you that there are many DVD buyers from Singapore who are looking for better "value-for-money" sites than Amazon !

Great! http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/wink.gif Why don't you just pull a "Walmart" and take the site off-line for four or five weeks while "remodeling"? Then again, maybe not... heh. http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Can't wait to spend more $$$ at 800.com, as a matter of fact I'm headed that way right now... I have a coupon burning in my pocket. http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/smile.gif
