Amazon has shipped my DVD!!!
« on: April 01, 2006, 03:33:29 pm »
It still says est. delivery of April 15, via the cheapest way, USPS, but maybe it'll arrive sooner? Two weeks seems like a long time if it's already shipped. But maybe I'm getting my hopes up.

Either way, BBM is still at #1 of Amazon's best DVD seller list 11 days after it was first available for pre-order. I believe it was only knocked down to #2 for a day or so when the special edition King Kong DVD came out. And that's just the widescreen version - the full screen is at #8, so BBM holds 2 spots in their Top 10 sellers.

Bizzare!  Well, I'm sure you'll get yours on time, I've never received anything late from them.  Maybe we'll all get them early!

Oh, that would be nice, but I'm afraid to hope. Not to ruin your expectations, but I've had plenty of stuff delieverd from Amazon way later than they estimated. Although most of it were Christmas gifts for friends. LOL, I remember one friend got the X-mas gift I ordered for her in late November in May next year! Now, true, there were situations when I got stuff faster too.

I was going to rent it until I got my copy, but I don't think I'd have the heart to return it   :-\.  Plus, I need two copies anyway. So, I'm thinking I'll hit the stores to buy a copy on the 4th, and keep the Amazon one for my mom - she'd love to see it, but she lives in Eastern Europe (Romania) and cannot go to the movies (health problems).  I'm gonna go see her in September and I cannot wait to watch it with her. She's already in love with this film from what I told her about it (and, baby, did I tell her about it!). LOL, she stayed up until 6AM Oscar night, watching the ceremony and rooting for BBM to win, then waited for me to call her so we can cry on each other's shoulder. I love her.

Mine says the same and I'm an Amazon Prime member.  I ordered using the instructions I also posted in the Movie Resources forum.  If you can get the free trial, you get free 2nd Day Air shipping.

I'm Amazon Prime, too. Best $79 investment I made in a long time. It has paid for itself over and over.

Really, what's in it? Maybe I should become one too.

Disclaimer: I am not an amazon employee, have nothing to do with the company.

Amazon Prime: you pay $79 and get free 2nd day shipping; one day shipping for $3.99...on all orders. You can also "share" your membership with other family members. So, my husband uses it, me, and my parents. Free shipping on things you send to other people, too...ie, all my Christmas shipping was free.

So, now, if I feel like buying a $5.99 paperback, I don't think twice, just click "2 day ship" and I get the book...for $5.99. It's great.

Thank you, Leslie. I seems like a good deal, indeed. I think I'll try it.
