I must be caught in the Casablanca quagmire. I sent in 24 covers, which were received in Howell, MI on April 30. However, no discs have arrived. I would have thought i was in the "first wave", but I guess not.
Ditto, I only knew my order was fulfilled when I noticed a charge on my CC. No email besides the original order confirmation email. I only replaced 6, the Potters and 300 [which just announced the new edition with the PiP commentary, que sera sera].
Looks like I'm in the Casablanca-delayed bunch as well. The website does say to allow 4-5 weeks for delivery, so I'm going to allow at least that much time to pass before I get concerned or complain. Also, since I was able to keep all of the actual HD-DVD discs, I can still watch any of the titles while I wait.
The list sent in the box of Blu-ray discs sent to me had a correct listing of the 25 HD-DVD original cover-art titles that I mailed in to Red2Blu.
BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE ORDER:
There were only 23 Blu-ray cases in the box that I opened.
Out of the 25 original HD-DVD cover-art titles I sent in on my list, only 18 were correctly exchanged for the Blu-ray disc titles.
1) 16 Blocks 2) Batman Begins 3) Clockwork Orange, A: Special Edition...........(NOT INCLUDED)...(1) 4) Constantine 5) Dirty Dozen, The...........................................(NOT INCLUDED)...(2) 6) Firewall.................................................. ......(NOT INCLUDED)...(3) 7) Fugitive, The.................................................( NOT INCLUDED)...(4) 8) Full Metal Jacket: Deluxe Edition 9) Goodfellas 10)Happy Feet 11)Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.....................................(NOT INCLUDED)...(5) 12)Last Samurai, The 13)Lethal Weapon 14)Lethal Weapon 2 15)Phantom of the Opera 16)Adventures of Robin Hood 17)Rumor Has It 18)Searchers, The............................................(NOT INCLUDED)...(6) 19)Space Cowboys 20)Superman, The Movie..................................(NOT INCLUDED)...(7) 21)Superman II: Richard Donner Cut, The 22)Superman Returns 23)Training Day 24)Unforgiven 25)V for Vendetta
There are 5 different titles that were included in the box.
Batman Begins (a second copy of this title sent in the same order) A Scanner Darkly Troy: Directors Cut 300 House of Wax
AND
TWO Blu-ray cases (titles) were OMITTED which only made a count of 23 cases in the box. (Please see the "NOT INCLUDED" titles on the above list that should have been in the box.
Looking forward to your response to get this error straightened out.
Everyone should take this with appropriate amounts of salt, but I was just told that Casablanca is in and that my order will ship shortly. Whenever it arrives, the first thing I plan to do is inventory it very carefully, given Paul H.'s experience.
UPDATE: I'm now being told that I'm on hold again, awaiting Casablanca. :frowning:
Either that earlier report was erroneous, or they didn't receive enough copies for their pending orders. If anyone at HTF receives an order containing Casablanca, please post here.
My order was moderate in size and I sent it on April 22 (They received April 29). I can't figure out what would be holding it up:
Adventures of Robin Hood (BD)$4.95 Blade Runner: Complete Collector's Edition (BD)$14.95 Clockwork Orange, A: Special Edition (BD)$4.95 Eyes Wide Shut: Special Edition (BD)$4.95 2001: A Space Odyssey: Special Edition (BD)$4.95 Full Metal Jacket: Deluxe Edition (BD)$4.95 Shining, The: Special Edition (BD)$4.95 Superman, The Movie (BD)$4.95 Superman Returns (BD) (TrueHD Audio)$4.95 Fountain, The (BD)$4.95 Blazing Saddles (BD)$4.95 Letters From Iwo Jima (BD)$4.95 Scanner Darkly, A (BD)$4.95
Around the first of June Red2Blu sent me 6 of the 7 titles I originally ordered that were not included in my 25 title order. The only missing title still omitted was Firewall, and I'm not going to spend any more time on it.
They never asked for the 5 incorrect Blu-ray titles back that were sent along with 18 correct exchanged titles: Batman Begins (a second copy of this title sent in the same order) A Scanner Darkly Troy: Directors Cut 300 House of Wax So I feel that they have been more than generous.
