Anyone else notice that almost every Canadian exclusive disk as well as every reasonably priced catalog-type title is available through "Special Order" only at HMV.com?

I may be wrong, but I'm assuming that "Special Order" means out of stock. Which means many of us with Garageband GCs are out of luck.

Anyone ever receive a DVD listed as a Special Order?

No but I have a few in progress so I hope this doesn't mean anything bad...

Ordered several items that have had to be special ordered. It's taken them about 2 weeks to ship them after the order date. One was about 2 1/2 weeks.

They are part of a very large chain. So I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Thanks for the tip, DVDnutty!

So, I' guess I'll go ahead and order the titles I want instead of titles which aren't considered "Special Orders".

I was told my order was back-ordered, but it shipped about a week later. I don't know for sure, but I think they do pull from their stores if they can.

I have 4 dvd's on "special order", but unlike Chapters where is means that you'll never get it, HMV will come through and send it within a month at the most or so I've seen.
