Re: Announcement: Warner Home Video Blu-Ray Loyalty and HD-DVD Trade Up Program
This doesn't seem very feasible to me since I bought alot of WB HDDVD titles for below bargain prices and don't even own a Blu-ray player yet. (I'm planning on buying the Momitsu.)I guess YMMV?

In the original Red2Blu.com Confirmation email I received on April 22 2009 that provided the shipping label to use to send the cover-inserts (Which I mailed on the same day April 22, 2009), there was a section after the Order Summary that stated the following:Emphasis on #3 statement:
Quote:
| 3. Drop in a US Postal Service mailbox. You will receive a confirmation email when the envelope reaches our processing center |
Has anyone received a confirmation receipt yet?
They must have received the original cover-inserts by now.

Just checking.

I've been wondering the same thing. It takes only a second to scan a bar-code.

You can track your shipment by using the package ID number on the return label. USPS shows that my package was delivered on May 1st, but I've yet to receive a confirmation email from WHV.- Mark

Re: Announcement: Warner Home Video Blu-Ray Loyalty and HD-DVD Trade Up Program
I checked my CC account today and there was a charge from "Red2Blu.com" so my order should be going out any day.
I only upgraded two titles: Firewall and Superman Returns. Just to get rid of the combos. I would've done at least two more but the HD-DVDs have TrueHD soundtracks and the Blus just have regular DD.
Anyway, hopefully I'll be seeing these within a week or two.

Hey Ron,When did you send in your HD-DVD covers? The covers I sent on April 27 apparently arrived May 1, but I still haven't been charged (nor, duh, have I gotten the discs). Just curious.

I just spoke to a CS rep at Red2Blu.Anyone whose order included Casablanca (and who wasn't lucky enough to be in the very first batch of orders) can expect to be waiting for a while. Orders to exchange Casablanca so hugely outpaced expectation that they almost instantly ran out. They are now awaiting stock and do not know when they will receive sufficient units to fulfill existing orders.

That must be a signal to Warner that many were unhappy with the special gift package of the Blu-Ray, I would think

My order included Casablanca, The Matrix set, Planet Earth, and about a dozen others. Anybody know if they're shipping partial orders, or holding everything until completion?

It seems odd they wouldn't be able to even ballpark a date in which they might be able to expect to resume shipment based on the receipt of new stock of Casablanca. I could certainly understand that they wouldn't want to underestimate the length of the wait.It's too bad they won't ship partial orders for you guys.

Bummer. Casablanca is the only one I did. Oh well, it's not exactly critical that I be able to watch it in the next couple weeks I guess (as much as I'd love to).

Re: Announcement: Warner Home Video Blu-Ray Loyalty and HD-DVD Trade Up Program
That must be it. I called a CSR and they said they were waiting to charge me, but otherwise everything seemed kosher. Ah, no real hurry.Quote:

Glad to see that people are starting to receive their stuff.For those of you who have received your orders, did any of you order the Harry Potter suitcase? If so, did you get a replacement for the disk folder you have to send in (or perhaps even the whole suitcase)? Frankly, I like the packaging so much that I am hesitant to send out one part of it without knowing if I will get a blu-ray version of it (as opposed to the single disk case versions).
In general, have the disks received been the full commercial package?

Me too! And I sent my boxtops somewhat late - not until last week.
Got "Fugitive", "Batman Begins" and the "Matrix" trilogy...

Mailed my boxart on April 23 from south FlaThey recieved it in Mich. on April 30
Billed my credit card May 8
Recieved my order today May 14---exactly 3 weeks
No e-mail to confirm.
You have to enter the super long US postal service tracking code into the USPS 'track & confirm' section of their website to find out when it was recieved by them.
United parcel service left it at my door with no signature required (that wouldn't be so good if I lived in a busy appt complex)
As had been said---regular shrink wrapped, barcoded store versions.
Good luck and i hope you all get them soon.

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.Onkyo TX-SR606

Can't guess what's causing the delay. Just not lucky I guess.

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].

Did you replace the individual Potter films or the suitcase?

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.Bottom line: I can be patient.

It appears that they removed Casablanca from the site.

Re: Announcement: Warner Home Video Blu-Ray Loyalty and HD-DVD Trade Up Program
UPS dropped off a box with the 25 Blu-ray replacements I ordered.
Didn't get any e-mail notification from WB about the order being ready or being sent. Just glad they all came.

FYI: Order placed and mailed cover-art on April 22, 09 and received the Blu-ray's on May 21, 09.
