Just tried to check on an order at express.com and I am getting an internal error. Their web page cannot be reached. Anyone else running into this problem or is it just my computer. If others are having problems, this may be the end of express.com.

Nope. Still there for now. Brought it up fine and navigated around a little.

express gone?
I think you might be right. I tried to reach their site last night without luck. Tried again this morning, same thing, error connecting.
My last shipment from them was March 22. This was for an item ordered Feb 22.

I'm getting "Unknown host specified: www2.express.com, (Authoritative host not found)" errors trying to access it through my company's firewall.
It seems to be definitely down right now. I suppose we'll have to wait a few days to see if it's actually "gone". For all we know, it may just be down for maintenance or something. However, given their recent financial woes...

For the last 9 months everyone has been dooming express. Please let them go out and their own, and don't give them any help. When you attempt to go to their site and you get a Thank -you for your business but we are no longer in operation message, then you can announce it. Until then, quit spreading false rumors.

Express is shipping a few items, but no supplier is shipping them anything unless it's prepaid. Kind of puts a crimp in the ol cash flow situation. Also some companies that are in Chapter 11 stay in business but not if supplier's refuse to ship them product.
Not getting paid for merchandise kind of annoys them.

I also would just stay away for any Dvd's since if one is lost in the mail what are the odds they will replace it- slim to none.
The advantage of this site apowers is that we are all free to express our opinions about websites. If you disagree great ignore us.
However we will continue to say what we want. You can feel free to call them false rumors if you want. they have proved true so far haven't they

Yes we are all allowed to have opinions, and that should include me as well. Express is NOT out of business, nor do they have any plans of going out of business. If your "rumors were so correct, why didn't they gp out of business 8 months ago when you guys started crying that they were. People were crying not to long ago that Amazon was going out of business as well and guess what, more that a year later and they are still here. This reminds me of the GOP and George Bush. If you talk down the economy for 8 months, how can you expect anyone to have confidence in the economy, and guess what, "W" is getting his recession. So keep down talking Express, and another e-tailer will bite the dust, and then another until they are all gone. Then Blockbuster will win in their attempt to have sell through DVD's held up until after the rental market has subsided and we will not be able to own anymore DVD's we will have to rent them. You guys go ahead and keep biting the hand that feeds you, and the other hand is going to come around and knock you on your A$$. (B&M stores will not be able to fight Blockbuster on their own. Not to mention when the e-tailers are gone Bestbuy and the others will raise their prices.)

Pretty redundant.
What do you call a store that is pretty much empty, please check their instock items.
That has laid off substantial numbers of employees, please check F***edcompany.com.
Whose Major shareholder has written off their entire holdings of Express, please refer to Yahoo.com, financial news.
What do you call that store?

this express groupie/apologist doesn't make any sense...at any point, regardless of Amazon "rumours," I could go to amazon, order a disc, and it comes...EXPRESS ARE THE BAD GUYS, they have a site that told us all to keep preordering, no problem, I preordered "Bring it On," "Lawrence of Arabia" and guess what....they NEVER CAME. I'm going to tell everybody and their sister that EXPRESS IS DEAD AND USELESS and misleads people everyday by taking preorders despite the fact they haven't had a single new disc added to their stock in 2 months...your Amazon parallel is senseless, do a search, several people got F***** because they preordered THE ROCK CC from Express, sure enough, it never came, and they had to reorder after the street date at a substantially higher price....if they ordered it from Amazon, rumor or no, it would've come....Express is a joke, and a bad one, because they're the ones who misled people with their website, we're the ones who are telling people DON'T GO NEAR THEM, and don't tell me I'm full of it, because I personally had 2preorders that EVERY OTHER STORE IN THE UNIVERSE THAT IS SOLVENT has in stock, and which I ultimately bought elsewhere...

I am sorry that it bothers you that i spend some of my free time posting on this website and as a result have a higher post count than you. I do the best I can to help people when I am able to with my posting. I also have fun with friends who are also members of Dvdtalk in the Other Forum.
How can we help express.com?
Buy Dvd's that they will not ship. They only have the product that is already sitting in their warehouse. they do not get any new releases and have not for quite some time. What should we do. ignore the problems and tell people they are a great company and feel free to buy Dvd's that are preorders from this site.
Dvdtalk is not a site to help companies it is a site to help consumers get the best price on Dvd's as well as talk about them.
Apowers- have some fun and do not take things so seriously. You seem to feel that it is our fault that these companies are going out of business. The talk a number of months back was that express.com was not shipping discs on time or at all. This is still a problem.
